The Design

About Textile Centro de Arte

Textile é um centro de arte urbano criado no interior de uma antiga fábrica de cobertores no Condado de Deqing, uma região com uma longa história de tecelagem de seda. A renovação preserva elementos históricos do edifício antigo e segue a sua estrutura arquitetónica original. Linhas quebradas integram a forma do edifício no interior. Fitas de LED evocam os fios e as máquinas de tecelagem. O espaço de 2000 metros quadrados acolhe uma sala de exposição histórica e um centro de arte comunitário com uma biblioteca para jovens. A memória cultural une-se a novas funções públicas.
