About the project (provided by the applicant)
Hechai 1972 Cultural & Creative Park is situated at the intersection of Tiantangzhai Road and Jinzhai Road in Hefei. Hechai 1972 is the first urban cultural space in China transformed from a former prison site. Over nearly 70 years, the site evolved from Hefei Brick and Tile Factory (1957) to Hefei Diesel Engine Factory (1972) and finally to Anhui Hefei Prison (1996). After the prison relocated in 2018, the Hechai complex was left vacant. In 2019, Hefei launched an urban renewal initiative, giving birth to Hechai 1972. The design area primarily includes: the Design Power Building, residential units, commercial streets, and a neighborhood center.
Originating from industry and evolving through art, Hechai 1972 not only focuses on preserving and restoring the original industrial heritage but also seeks innovative ways to repurpose it. By allowing history to resonate in modern life, it injects new creativity into the city's cultural development.
