Rihua Factory is a renovation project held during Beijing International
Design Competition Week. Established in 1958, Rihua Factory was once
a factory that manufacture Goldfish Detergent. During that period,
Rihua Factory proved industrial productivity, but as the 3rd industrial
revolution approaches, all the factories have been removed from Beijing,
including Rihua Factory.

Concept of Rihua Factory: Memories tied by the red ribbon
Embracing the convenience brought by technology in this new generation,

it is also crucial for us to remember and learn from the past as well.
Located in Tongzhou district in Beijing, Rihua factory is near a canal that
runs across Beijing. In the past, the factory uses the canal for production
and transportation; at present, their are new communities that live along
the canal. Time flies and generation changes, but the canal has been
flowing for centuries, witnessing all those changes. Therefore, keeping
most of the architectural features of the Rihua Factory, a red bridge runs
through the building from the outside gallery to the roof top. The red
bridge is like a ribbon that ties the past, present, and future together, just
like the canal. The interior is a combination of apartment, office, and place
of entertainment for designers. Designers daily life is also aided by an APP
that helps designer to check availability and manage their schedule.
