Shanghai Xigu Art Museum: Shanghai, China

Yunjian granary is located at the confluence of Tongbotang and Renmin River in Songjiang District, covering an area of 136 acres and a total of more than 60 buildings. It was originally a grain warehouse and factory built in succession from the 50s to the 90s of the last century, and now it has been gorgeously transformed into a cultural innovation space in Songjiang. 

DCDSAA Architecture Office cooperated with the brand "Valley of the Clouds" to transform 22 old historical and cultural buildings located in the west of the granary of the Clouds in Shanghai, China into a brand-new space of "Valley of the Clouds Art Museum"; The project was designed by DCDSAA Architecture Office. Based on the site environment and the attributes of contemporary art, the redundant forms of the original buildings were eliminated, and the permeability and related geometric shapes were recreated with proper discretion and minimalist methods, so that the buildings and interiors could be integrated together.

The 500-meter riverbank is home to famous artists' studios, Yunjian Academy, riverside cafes, etc., and the courtyard design along the river is full of nostalgia, and the mottled brick walls seem to witness the passage of time. The well-built park landscape and water-friendly platform have a view from a table and a chair.
