How would you go about transforming a factory? One option, which keeps the memories of the past while the space becomes something totally new, is to turn it into a cultural park.
A gear factory in Chaoyang district, Beijing, is on the path to change itself into such a place. Its expected title, 24H Gear Factory, indicates around-the-clock motion, 24 hours a day.
The 58-year-old manufactory will welcome giant-screen studios, an indoor surfing field, a museum of science and industry and galleries in its 66,000-square-meter floorspace at the end of this year.
