Excuse me, what is the art factory in Beijing? Introduce it in detail

Located in Dashanzi District, Jiuxianqiao Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing, it is also called Dashanzi Art District (referred to as Dad-Dashanzi Art District). It used to be the old site of the former State-owned 798 Factory and other electronic industries. This area starts from Jiuxianqiao Road in the west, east to beijing-baotou railway, north to Jiuxianqiao North Road and south to Jiang Tai, covering an area of more than 600,000 square meters.

Now this factory is called 798 Art Zone, which is the regional scope of six factories under the former Ministry of Electronic Industry, namely 706, 707, 7 18, 75 1, 797 and 798. From the end of 1950s to 1964, this area was once called "7 18 Joint Factory" and "State-owned Beijing North China Radio Equipment Joint Factory". The six factories mentioned in this paper are branches of the joint factory. 1964, these six factories began to operate independently, from a joint factory to six factories until 200 1. 200 1 Five factories except 75 1, Huarong Asset Company (holding company) and 75 1 jointly form Qixing Huadian Group to manage this area in a unified way.

From 200 1, artists from around Beijing and outside Beijing began to gather in the 798 factory, and they discovered the unique advantages of this place for artistic work with unique eyes. They make full use of the style of the original factory building (Bauhaus architectural style in Germany), slightly modify and decorate it, and become a distinctive art exhibition and creative space. Nowadays, 798 has attracted extensive attention from domestic and foreign media and the public, and has become a new landmark of Beijing's urban culture.

798 Cultural Concept Represented by 798 Art District

After artists and cultural institutions moved in, they rented and renovated vacant factories on a large scale, and gradually developed into a collection of galleries, art centers, artists' studios, design companies, restaurants and bars, forming an international "SOHO-style art settlement" and "LOFT lifestyle", which attracted considerable attention. Through the organic combination of contemporary art, architectural space, cultural industry, historical context and urban living environment, 798 has evolved into a cultural concept, which has a strong appeal to all kinds of professionals and the general public and has a great influence on the concept of urban culture and living space.

The architectural style of the factory is mainly 798 factory, which is simple and simple, emphasizing function. Huge cast-in-place structures and bright skylights are rare in other buildings. They are key industrial projects aided by the Soviet Union and designed and built in East Germany in the early 1950s, and have experienced numerous ups and downs for decades. With the reform and opening up, the cultural orientation of Beijing, the change of people's lifestyle, and the arrival of the wave of globalization, enterprises like 798 Factory are also facing the task of redefining and redeveloping. With the urbanization process and the expansion of urban area in Beijing, the Dashanzi area, which originally belonged to the suburbs, has become a part of the urban area. When the original industry moves out, new industries with no pollution, low energy consumption and high technology content will inevitably emerge on the original site, which is more suitable for urban positioning and development trend. The arrival of a large number of artists and intellectuals is a reflection of this historical trend.

These residents not only have cultural industries such as design, publishing, exhibition, performance and artist's studio, but also have services such as boutique home, fashion, bars and restaurants. On the premise of protecting the original historical and cultural heritage, they redefined, designed and transformed the original industrial workshop, which brought creative understanding of architecture and lifestyle. These vacant factories have been transformed into new architectural works, and a vivid dialogue has been launched between historical context and development paradigm, between practicality and aesthetics and the old buildings in the factory.

The lifestyle of these residents is the product of economic reform, and they show the new relationship between personal concept and socio-economic structure-the new relationship between utopia and reality, memory and future. 798 is the carrier of youth culture in the new period. The culture formed here will be the internationalization of local resources and the socialization of personal ideals. The new "798" means the existence of pioneer consciousness and traditional feelings, the equal emphasis on experimental color and social responsibility, the win-win situation of spiritual pursuit and economic planning, and the interaction between elites and the public.
