#33 Arts District in Dongguan — an Urban Renewal Project under the Inventory Planning Background

Abstract

#33 Arts District envisions transforming an existing industrial site of 16.6 hectares into a campus for innovative industry to revitalize the surrounding neighborhood — a dynamic hub for innovation, collaboration, and production — that could play an important role in Dongguan’s transition from manufacturing industry city to knowledge-based industry. The masterplan aims to not only introduce new programs into the vacant old buildings, forming new functional clusters, but also retrofit public urban spaces and integrate landscape elements into the existing urban fabric. Through a series of interventions at different scales, the design of the campus redefines new ways of living, working, and learning while dissolving the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces.
