英文名称：Shanghai Innovative office park

位置：上海

设计团队：Urbanus

该项目位于上海嘉定旧城区的边缘地带，是一个改造性工程，被命名为“Now Factory”。这里有800多年的历史了，有着古老的南方小镇特色。该工程在建设过程中十分注重对当地传统文化的保护，利用特定的景观来激发它所蕴含的文化活力，这样的设计理念受到了人们的肯定。最开始的时候，这里是一个纺织工厂，里面的厂房很多，很密集，对整个城市的肌理产生了重要的影响。

如今，这样高密度的厂房在老城中是不允许存在的，在该项目中，保护传统文化并不意味着不能够创新，要保留一切守旧的东西。之前有一个设计师将当地的经济发展作为标杆，将场地上的厂房改造成一个艺术馆，之后，Urbanus团队受到委任，对剩余的部分进行改造。因为许多重要的机构已经在这里发展起来了，目标客户鼓励建造一个双重社区，里面包括多个企业，并形成了一个丰富的交流系统，场地较为开阔，可以举办一些户外活动。

“Now Factory” is a renovation project located at the edge of old Jiading, a city with 800 years of history and a small southern town flavor. This project plays a role of injecting cultural vitality into this historical town. The original factory was a textile manufacturer whose workshops were densely crowded within the precious downtown area.

Such density is no longer allowed in the old city today, so with this project, preservation is not only an issue of urban memory, but also an economic measure as well.The first renovation on site was a large workshop with skylight that was converted into an art museum by an earlier architect.Urbanus was then commissioned to renovate the remaining set of massive buildings. Since a large scale institution was already on site, our approach was to encourage a plural community, which can include diverse tenants instead of just one, employ a rich network of communication away from seclusion, and obtain creative public scenarios inside inspiring spaces.
