APJ Arch 姜平工作室

Based in Shanghai, APJ Arch 姜平工作室 contrasts rigid rectilinear masses and louvered envelopes with fluid, sculpturally carved voids across cultural centers and industrial heritage redevelopments. This work serves as a strong reference when integrating retained infrastructure into contemporary footprints or resolving dynamic, ramped circulation through heavy concrete overhangs.

Aerial view of a large industrial heritage adaptive reuse masterplan by APJ Arch, featuring silos, towers, and waterfront context.

An aerial precedent for large-scale industrial heritage adaptive reuse, illustrating the integration of historic silos and cylindrical forms within a high-density urban masterplan.

What we like about this project
Retained vertical cement silos stand directly integrated into the footprint of the contemporary masterplan.

Geometry
An extensive industrial complex layout integrating clustered vertical silos, low cylindrical structures, and mid- to high-rise rectilinear towers arranged along a waterfront edge.
Facade system
Curtain wall glazing on new towers juxtaposed against solid concrete and industrial masonry of existing silos.
Structural guess
Heavy industrial concrete silos and structural steel frames for new high-rise office towers.
Spatial scale
Macro urban scale, showing entire block layouts, multi-story towers, and expansive industrial footprints.
Lighting
Bright, direct daylight casting sharp shadows across roofs, flat ground planes, and water.
Atmosphere
Expansive, industrial, and transitional as new development meshes with heavy heritage structures.
Environmental context
A waterfront industrial site undergoing large-scale urban regeneration, bounded by roads and river infrastructure.
Spatial experience
The composition reads as a dense urban campus balancing preserved industrial artifacts with new high-density office and commercial blocks.
Composition rhythm
A dense grid of tall rectilinear forms contrasted against organic clusters of vertical silos and circular volumes.
