THE REMAINSThis project revitalizes an abandoned coal mine within a university campus, transforming it into a contemporary office building. The renovation aims to bridge the gap between the historic structure and its natural surroundings, fulfilling modern office requirements while making the site accessible to the public. The design fosters interaction among diverse groups and encourages a dialogue between individuals and the building’s historical context.
The project addresses the unique challenges of converting an industrial-scale building into a functional office environment. Enhancing the user experience is a central focus, balancing the need for modern amenities with the preservation of the site’s historical significance. The design ensures that the historical essence of the building remains palpable, reflecting both its industrial past and its new role as a dynamic workspace.
The site is far away from the city center, about 8km away. It is located inside a university. The east and south sides of the site are adjacent to natural mountains, and the west side is the main traffic road in the school. The main building to be renovated has two floors, with a height of 17.7 m and a building area of about 2000 ㎡. The building is a bent frame structure. The facade is severely worn, but there are still some structures keep intact.
