About Wulin Star 展览厅

武林星是在杭州两座历史厂房内打造的展览空间。改造最大限度地保留了老厂房的原有结构与工业细节。高8.5米的旋转门在无地轨的条件下实现360度旋转，大型折叠屏由上部钢桁架承载。原有管线经过重新梳理，并与定制机械装置相结合。闲置的室内区域被转化为集展览、艺术与商业于一体的活力公共空间。

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: As the factory building is a historical structure, the primary principle of internal renovation is to preserve the original spatial appearance and details of the factory building to the greatest extent possible. On the basis of not damaging the original structure, industrial style devices such as large corrugated aluminum plate revolving doors and large LED folding screens have been designed. In addition, we have reorganized the intricate pipelines, interweaving and integrating customized large mechanical devices, orderly arranged pipelines, and the spatial characteristics of the old factory building, transforming the idle space inside the old factory building into a positive and dynamic space.
Dimensions & Packaging: The building area of Building 3 is 7837.72 square meters. The building area of Building 4 is 1784.35 square meters.

Production Technology: The exhibition hall of Building 3's Expo Center features a large revolving door with a height of 8.5 meters and a trackless design on the ground. It has both electric and manual operation modes, allowing for 360 degree rotation and parking. Each door weighs about 2 tons, and a carefully designed steel structure column is placed on the ground in the center. The rotating door is assisted by the upper circular track, zipper, and chemical anchor bolts on both sides of the steel door frame and the original column to prevent overturning.
Design Challenge: The overall weight of the folding screen in Building 4 is as high as 9 tons. In order to meet the requirements of site leveling, the folding screen cannot be designed with a ground track and is all lifted by the upper steel truss. On the premise of not affecting the current factory building, the overall foundation design needs to avoid the original factory building foundation. Place the foundation design in the middle of the factory building, relying on the beam end to make a ground beam cantilever to support the upper overall steel structure.
Research: The project is positioned as a model for the protection and utilization of industrial heritage in Hangzhou, a heavyweight project for urban internationalization, and a benchmark for organic renewal. It aims to promote urban cultural development, enhance urban quality, and better serve Hangzhou's urban development and internationalization process through the organic combination of exhibitions, art, and commerce.
Inspiration: The protection and utilization strategy of this project is to allow history and the future to intersect here, making the space itself a medium for storytelling. Design should not only preserve the original elements to the greatest extent possible, but also allow for the coexistence of old and new elements. Through the contrast, tension, and interaction between old and new, a balance can be found to create a cultural landmark that combines historical value and modern functionality.
Project Duration: The project started construction in Hangzhou in March 2024 and was completed and officially opened to the public in November 2024.
Operation Flow: The public nature of the project gives it a strong affinity and attracts a wide range of public participation. This participation not only promotes the popularization of aesthetic education and the dissemination of culture, but also greatly enhances the social value of cultural venues, enabling designers to better realize their original intentions. By integrating history and modernity, culture and life, the Wulin Star Expo Center is not only an exhibition space, but also a city cultural landmark that connects the past and the future, inspires inspiration and dialogue.
