Typology: Former Industrial Area Scale: 150 000sqm (Built area); 12.8ha (Site area) Contracting authority: Shangtex Holding (group) Corporation Main Stakeholders: Arte Charpentier Architectes Year: 2012 (Completion)
The area surrounding the complex is made up of renovated industrial buildings dating from the 1920s and ‘30s, as well as two new buildings. Finished in 2012, a refurbishment redesigned them as close as possible to their original appearance and integrated some modern elements like wider windows, glass roofs and wooden floors. The surface between these buildings was transformed into a pedestrian space and includes a covered gallery, thus tightening the link with the rest of the city.
