在成都的东郊记忆，MDO将一座始建于1958年，主要生产军用示波器和显像管的国营工厂改造成一座富有生命力的万科 · 城市生长馆。MDO的改造理念是在新旧之间创造一种清晰的语言，保留历史痕迹的同时引入新的元素冲突。 作为过去的延续，MDO将示波器视为设计的起源，“知识大爆炸”作为空间概念。爆炸从旧结构中心开始，分裂出能量，形成新的空间形态，映射穿插到旧厂房的各个角落和柱网中。参观者在科技感的材料和灯光与旧厂房之间的碰撞融合中感受全新的视觉冲击和戏剧感。 位于厂房中心的楼梯承载社交功能，传达着不同人员和功能都能在此相遇的设计意图。楼梯整体拓宽，为非正式的会议和休闲活动提供场所。楼梯侧墙的定制瓷砖，灵感来源于诗歌“晓看红湿处，花重锦官城”，并以市花芙蓉花来描绘成都繁荣生长的美好景象。 一楼的pause咖啡馆，模糊了室内外间的界限。它被设想为一个嵌在灰色混凝土结构中的分层竹盒。竹盒的折叠展开，将室内外相连，也为街道创造出座位、桌子和供应咖啡的场所。 为了向旧显像管厂的历史致敬，160个黑白电视显像管被以工业流水线的形式，矩阵排列在水吧的天花上，形成巨大的灯光装置。
In the eastern suburb memory in chengdu, china, MDO has transformed an old state-run hongguang electronic tube factory into a vivid ‘vanke·city growth hall’.The original building founded in 1958, which produced once oscilloscopes and kinescopes for the military. MDO prioritized a clear transition between old and new, maintaining traces and history of the existing building and inserting a series of new contrasting elements. As a continuity of the past, the oscilloscope became the design’s starting point, with the "Big Bang of Knowledge" as the spatial concept. The explosion begins in the center of the old structure, while the energy splits to create new spatial forms, which are mapped to all corners of the old factory, interspersing with the historic walls and column networks. In the explosive proliferation of space, technological materials and lights clash and blend with the old factory building, bringing new sensory impact and dramatic feeling to visitors. As the social heart, the staircase space communicates the idea of a core that different people and functions can meet. based on this strategy, the staircase employs wide steps, allowing informal meeting and relaxation spaces.Lining the stairs is a customized ceramic tile will depicting clusters of hibiscus mutabilis found locally in Chengdu which inspired by the poem 'The wet red patches in Chengdu's twilight, are flower branches, heavier but bright'. The ground floor features a cafe functioning as a public space which blurs the boundary between inside and out. its form is conceived as a layered bamboo box inserted into the grey concrete structure. the layers are folded out to create space for sitting, tables, and serving coffee to the street. along the perimeter takes shape a deep bamboo seat creating a relaxing space inviting passers-by to stop, relax and enjoy a coffee. a large picture window with a sliding glass screen can open up on warmer days, creating a strong visual connection between the city and the interior. In an homage to the site history of manufacturing, the bar’s ceiling includes a light installation made up of rows of 160 black and white light cathode-ray televisions.
