Given the rapid obsolescence of modern buildings compared to cities' capacity to promote their regeneration, the REDGE Contemporary Art Center adopts the concept of adaptive reuse. This approach aims not only to conserve existing structures but also to extend the longevity of recent built environments.
The project was conceived by Atelier Meadow, led by Edoardo Nieri. The REDGE Contemporary Art Center converts the three lower floors of an office tower, completed less than ten years ago, into a public cultural space in the city of Chengdu, China.
This venture was commissioned as part of the development of Chengdu Tianfu International Biotown. It integrates exhibitions, educational activities, open events, and creative production into a rapidly growing innovation sector. Thus, it establishes a new civic landmark, situated between research centers and Yong'an Lake Nature Park.
