Songzhuang Artist Residences_Xutiantian
| December 13th, 2009Completed last year, the Songzhuang Artist Residences are located in one of China’s best-known artist enclaves, on the eastern outskirts of Beijing. Its 20 stacked units are composed of 20-foot-tall concrete boxes housing studio spaces and slightly irregular, 10-foot-tall volumes for living areas. Its form reflects both the upheaval experienced by many of the area’s artists, whom authorities evicted from their previous homes near Beijing’s Old Summer Palace, and the site’s former use as an industrial storage lot.
It is designed by DNA.
