City of Art - Beijing Huantie Art District

Sammanfattning: Chinese contemporary art start in 1979, the new art era has led to the emergence of a large number of art workers (artists). Workshop with large space and quiet environment would be the ideal place to do the artwork, Huantie Art District is one of the ideal places in China (Beijing), with low rent and big empty space. In 2017, Huantie Art District faces demolition and reconstruction because of the informal construction, security problem ( the structure of the building), and land-use problems. This kind of situation also occurred in other art districts. From this, I began to think about what kind of way can we help artists maintain their creation and survival in Beijing, as an architecture student, what can I do for them. To weave the broken land, protect the Art District, have a sense of belonging, and become a city within city.
