| DESIGN NAME: Sunac Wuhan 1890 Plot 32 PRIMARY FUNCTION: Multifunctional Building INSPIRATION: In the early 1900s Wuhan became the site of China’s first modern iron and steel works as well as key arsenal city. The B, C, and D plots of Sunac Wuhan 1890 contain a multitude of industrial sites, including steel bar plant, electric furnace branch, and steel truss warehouse. New functions allow these "old objects" to be reborn, infusing unique charm into the development. We have desires to invigorate the deserted park, regenerate the city’s memory, create a cultural icon and city landmark. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Every city has its own memory and story. The Hanyang Iron Works is a pivotal existence in the modern history of Wuhan. To pay respect, our priority is to inject new life into these old buildings while protecting them. The rebirth of the old factory building is not only about the repair and renovation of the building, but also the endowment of new functions to integrate into the urban development, making itself an indispensable existence in citizens’ lives. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: With Beijing-Guangzhou railway in the south, Jiangcheng Avenue in the east, the development is convenient to reach. It is also surrounded by a number of significant cultural markers such as the Museum of Zhang ZhiDong, Heptachord Terrace, Qintai Concert Hall and Qintai Grand Theater. The design combines industrial culture with contemporary art by introducing creative industries and various commercial entertainment, establishing a new social leisure destination.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Red bricks and concrete materials are used to restore the original texture, while the existing structure is retained. The roof is renovated with modern materials in reference to the original style, and glass skylights are added to enhance indoor lighting. The metal corrugated panels on facade are replaced with polycarbonate panels, which renders a more robust exterior. The design retains structures such as oxygen generators and dust collection systems, integrating them into the new landscape.
