EKA Tianwu: More Than Just Buildings, It's the Art of Living

💒 Located at 535 Jinqiao Road, Pudong, Shanghai, EKA Tianwu, formerly the China Shipbuilding Marine Instrument Factory, has been transformed into an art and cultural district integrating life, work, growth, and creativity. Partially opened to the public in 2023, it will officially debut in mid-2024. 🪂Architectural Features 🎡Diverse Styles: The park comprises over 30 buildings in various styles, making it an "open-air architectural museum." From Chinese courtyard houses and old Shanghai Shikumen buildings to Nordic, Middle Eastern, and Greek Mediterranean styles, and even buildings resembling Buddhist architecture and London's King's Cross Station, each structure boasts unique characteristics, transporting visitors to different countries and regions. ⛺️Blending Old and New: The project retains the original industrial architectural style while incorporating modern design elements and materials. This fusion creates a strong visual impact. For example, the red brick walls of some old factory buildings have been preserved and combined with contemporary design techniques, retaining the historical weight while injecting new vitality into the architecture. 🏘Open and Deep Spatial Layout: The factory's former layout gives EKA Tianwu an open and expansive architectural framework. However, within the park, a combination of squares, alleyways, and factory-style roads of varying sizes creates a sense of depth, allowing visitors to constantly discover new surprises as they stroll through, enhancing the joy of exploration. 🌎Harmonious Waterscapes and Architecture: The park features extensive waterscapes, such as the water plaza in front of the Lambahe building. The water reflects the contours of the buildings, creating a serene and beautiful atmosphere. Several water courtyards further enhance the buildings' dynamic beauty. 🌐A Great Place for Photos: Whether it's the building facades, waterscapes, courtyards, or the flowers, plants, and trees along the streets, everything exudes beauty, making it a perfect spot for taking photos. 🌐A Place for Relaxation: Here, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city, slow down, and enjoy a peaceful and beautiful time. Whether strolling with friends, sipping coffee in a cafe, basking in the sun on the grass, or simply daydreaming by the water, you can find complete relaxation.
