Unfinished Symphony-Zhong Ao Yan Ji You Bookstore

As a former industrial base of China, Changchun City has many old factories to be abandoned. The heritages completely preserved have carried memories of generations. In the renovation design of the Changchun Tractor Factory, we took "Unfinished Symphony" as the theme, used the cultural power of Yanjiyou Bookstore to innovate the times memory, and adapt the sustainable concept into the urban renewal, seeking innovation in heritage conservation and building reuse. The huge dome installation, combined with the spiral staircase, puts the condensed architectural form into the space, creating a ritual sense of time and memory. In the overall renovation process, we kept the original spatial character as much as possible, and responded to the factory frame of masonry with materials such as wood and copper， which have carried a sense of industrial memory. The design narrates the collision between cultural fashion and industrial power from a unique perspective, showing a different innovation from traditional old renovation projects. The city itself is the best history book. Based on the original industrial memory of the project, the design creates a rich immersive experience, awakening and reshaping the urban cultural cognition. The project has also become a model for industrial urban renewal in the Northeast China.
