Text description provided by the architects. Located in Dayu Village, Malu Town, Jiading District of Shanghai—an area renowned for grape production—this project occupies a former township-owned factory site that had been decommissioned for ecological reasons. In 2008, the local government initiated a rural revitalization program by repurposing such industrial land for artist studios, introducing cultural elements into the countryside. The studio of artist Yue Minjun was one such initiative. Although the building was structurally topped out in 2011, it remained vacant for years due to unforeseen circumstances. Recently, it was taken over by the local fashion brand Dazzle, which transformed it into an integrated cultural center.
