About Textile Kunssentrum

Textile is 'n stedelike kunssentrum wat binne 'n voormalige kombersfabriek in die Deqing-distrik geskep is, 'n gebied met 'n lang geskiedenis van sywewery. Die opknapping behou historiese elemente van die ou gebou en volg sy oorspronklike argitektoniese struktuur. Gebroke lyne integreer die gebouvorm in die interieur. LED-ligstroke roep gare en weefmasjiene op. Die 2000 vierkante meter ruimte huisves 'n historiese uitstalsaal en 'n gemeenskapskunssentrum met 'n biblioteek vir jong mense. Kulturele geheue word met nuwe openbare funksies verenig.
