Historical overview

According to historical records, it costs more than 3.3 million yuan to build the building and equipment of the slaughterhouse. All the buildings are made of concrete structure imported from Britain. The wall is about 50 cm thick, and the middle of the two walls is hollow. In the 1930s, when there was no advanced technology, the temperature control was achieved by skillfully using physical principles. Even in the hot summer, the temperature can still be kept low. It can be seen that This building was forward-looking and advanced in its technological design at that time. Style and style: the architecture of laochangfang in 1933 integrates the eastern and Western characteristics. The overall architecture can be seen in the basilica style of ancient Rome, and the basic structure of the outer and inner circles also coincides with the traditional concept of "round sky and round place" in the Fengshui theory of Chinese geomancy. "Beamless floor", "umbrella shaped column", "corridor bridge", "spiral staircase", "cattle road" and many other characteristic style buildings are integrated, and the endless changes of light, shadow and space present a unique architectural wonder. Different seasons, different times, different angles, you can always appreciate the different customs of 1933 old square.

The style of the whole building is simple and unadorned. Only by careful observation can we feel the original designer's ingenuity from its seemingly inadvertent exquisite decoration details. Such smooth production technology, precise housing structure and excellent architectural design were first seen in Shanghai nearly a hundred years ago. Even at that time, there were only three slaughterhouses of this scale in the world, and 1933 laochangfang was the only existing building in good condition, and no other one could be found.

historical background

In 1933, laochangfang was originally a slaughterhouse of Shanghai Ministry of industry. After it was transformed into a creative industry cluster, it inherited the original structural system and spatial relationship. Due to its own historical background and architectural characteristics, it was endowed with unique charm. Witnessing how the old industrial factory buildings are transformed, the buildings are regaining vitality in this era of art awakening. This building, built in 1933, has a unique spatial layout, with a square factory area surrounded by four buildings in the southeast and northwest, and a 24 sided main building in the middle connected by stairs. The whole building is high and low, the corridors circle, the design is precise, like a labyrinth, but the order is clear. The processing workshop adopts "beamless floor", which is a very advanced technology at that time. Shanghai is the center of fashion performance, release, display, trade, design, service, consumption and leisure, which drives the regional economic development with tourism industry; it forms interaction with the change of the North Bund of Hongkou District, and becomes a distinctive regional tourism product; it becomes an important characteristic base to undertake the residence, tourism and consumption of Expo visitors.

Architectural background

In 1931, the Ministry of industry purchased land at Shajing Road, Hongkou. A modern slaughterhouse was completed in November 1933 and put into use in January 1934.

In 1933, LAOCHANG square was funded by the Ministry of industry of the public concession, designed by British designers and built by famous Chinese builders at that time. The whole building shows the basilica style of ancient Rome. The designer perfectly combines the construction technology with the industrial production technology. All the cement is imported from England, which is extremely strong. The builders build the blueprint into a grand and powerful building entity with high professional standards. It was the three parties with the official, international and domestic background of the concession at that time that jointly built the world-famous work, the slaughterhouse of the Bureau of Shanghai Ministry of industry.

No. 29 Shajing Road, which is opposite to laochangfang street in 1933, covers an area of about 1.5 mu. It was built in 1935. The whole building is a three storey (partial four storey) reinforced concrete frame structure. Its chimney base and the whole treatment workshop have typical baroque architectural style.

Builder

Yu Jichen, owner of Yu Hongji construction factory, was born in 1862 in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. In his early years, he went to Shanghai with his father Yu Hongyuan to learn carpentry skills. Yu Hongji construction factory was founded before 1895. Yu Hongji construction plant has many projects, the most important one is the post office building of North Sichuan Road and Bridge in Shanghai, which is designed by British architect Si Jiusheng. It has become a famous landmark in Shanghai. Yu Jichen, an early Zhejiang architect, worked hand in hand with his own group of architects to devote his whole life's talents to Shanghai, an international city of the World Architecture Expo. Unfortunately, he died in 1930 at the age of 68.

Sun Deshui, the eldest disciple of Yu Jichen, the owner of Yu Hongji construction factory, is the builder of the slaughterhouse of the Ministry of industry. Sun Deshui, a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang Province, was born in 1890. In 1907, he joined Shanghai yuhongji construction plant and learned to work as a construction worker (i.e. a construction worker) under the guidance of Yu Jichen, a senior in the construction industry. Yu Jichen appreciated sun very much and taught him construction technology. By the 1930s, sun Deshui had become one of the famous "two and a half watchers" on the beach of Shanghai.

After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, the construction industry in Shanghai was also depressed. Sun Deshui shifted his business focus to Hong Kong and Thailand, and achieved great development. In 1949, he undertook the construction of Bangkok airport in Thailand. In the 1950s and 1960s, major projects in Hong Kong, such as Jardine Plaza, Yu Jen hang (now Tai Koo Plaza), five-star Mandarin Hotel and some major buildings on the most prosperous Queen's road and several important roads in central, were built by Sun Fu Ji construction factory. Sun de Shui became a prominent figure in the construction industry of Hong Kong. All his three sons are heirs to his father. He died in 1975 at the age of 85. )

Historical development

In 1933, though the old square was closed several times, it was hard to hide the depression, but the building itself was miraculously preserved. History makes the building become a piece of "jade" hidden in the dust, and history will make this jade transform into a piece of noble jade. In 2002, he Qiang Qiang, Secretary General of Shanghai Creative Industry Center, and Xia Yu, deputy director of Baoshan District, visited laochangfang for the first time.

Although she was ragged and fragmented, they were still shocked and moved by her charm. They were shocked by the impulse and excitement of discovering the "treasure".

On August 1, 2006, Shanghai Creative Industry Investment Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Jinjiang International Industrial Development Co., Ltd. signed a lease agreement for the former slaughterhouse of the Ministry of industry, officially starting the construction of 1933 laochangfang creative industry cluster.

Design principles

Based on the results of the extraction and value evaluation of the architectural historical features of the project, the relationship between the cultural value of the building and the use function after the transformation is comprehensively considered, so as to complement each other and add color to each other, and the strategy of "protective utilization" is adopted.

New landmark

With lifestyle, creativity and knowledge seeking as the core elements, it integrates fashion release, creative design, brand customization, cultural knowledge seeking and creative leisure. It brings together artists, design masters, educators and enterprise elites to form a creative life experience center with body and core integration and interaction as one, fashion interpretation and retro. The trend of life in classic European historical buildings. Today, 1933 old square combines international food shopping, drama and music performance, theme Carnival Party, which can be described as wonderful every week. The diversified venues in the buildings with rich historical heritage have also become the stage of international top brand activities, presenting a visual feast.
