Will build

The Museum of art and artist base were renamed "Banpo International Art District" after the pformation. It is expected to be put into operation in two years.

The Textile City Art District, which has been built for 5 years, once again seeks to pform itself.

Reporters interviewed in Baqiao District of Xi'an learned that the Baqiao area and the developers invested 150 million yuan to upgrade the textile city art area. The name of the "Textile City Art District" will also be relocated to the history, renamed "Banpo International Art District".

Why change?

Service matching is not keeping up with popularity.

Yesterday, reporters

During the interview, we saw that the front door of the art district has been replaced by a circle of enclosure, and the ground is being laid in the pipeline.

Originally, several old buildings around the main workshop have been demolished, leaving a pile of brick concrete residue on the ground.

The Textile City Art District was rebuilt on the basis of the buildings in the original factory of the first Tang Dynasty (the first northwest dyeing and printing factory), and was officially opened in 2007. Some of the literary and artistic creators in Xi'an have settled in. They are regarded as their creative base or studio, with a strong cultural atmosphere. One seal has also changed from an industrial geographical symbol to a cultural and artistic District in Xi'an's eastern city.

"The popularity of services has not been strong due to the lack of matching services."

Wang Gang, manager of the operation Department of the Art District, said that the 5 years since the opening of the art district has changed little.

In addition, due to the lack of a unified mechanism in management, each art unit is also in a loose state and can not form a joint effort to push outward.

How to change this time?

The area is enlarged by 60 mu, and the main factory building is preserved.

The infrastructure in the printing area of the Textile City Art District was built in the 50s and 60s of last century.

This pformation will change the state of many years' independent system and connect with the urban pipeline network on water, gas, electricity and other facilities.

It is understood that the scope of the pformation is in the east of spinning West Street, West to Wuxing village, south of the three national cotton factory, and north to China Textile and printing warehouse, about 187 mu, an area of 60 mu more than the original textile city art area.

The main plant area will be retained and rebuilt, and the original remaining buildings should be rebuilt or built according to the plan.

The whole project invested about 150 million yuan and is expected to be completed and put into operation in 2 years.

Wang Gang introduced that as the main factory area of the core area of the original Textile City Art Zone, it will be divided into two parts: the South and the north. The northern area will build a contemporary art gathering area, and the Southern District will build an artist base. At present, it is initially determined that the artists such as Liu Wenxi and Wang Xijing will build their own workshops.

Built in the 50s and 60s of last century, the original printing workshop will also be preserved as an industrial site. After renovation, it will be built into a museum of textile art to collect information from different ages.

What are the new features?

Build green landscapes in large areas, push down walls, and build open parks.

The pformation and upgrading of the Textile City Art District is also a key project for the construction of "cultural Baqiao" by the Baqiao District Committee and district government.

According to the plan, the renovation will demolish or rebuild the old and old affiliated buildings in the art district. At the same time, we will build a large area and high standard for greening, landscape, Waterscape, sculpture, relief and so on, and create an art park that integrates historical context, contemporary art, cultural industry, building space and leisure life. The original "Textile City Art District" will also be renamed "Banpo International Art District".

The original textile city art district is surrounded by a circle of walls because it is in the original factory area. Only the gate on the side of spinning West Street can enter.

In the reconstruction, the fence will be demolished and demolished, and there will be channels to enter the park.

At the main entrance of spinning West Street, an open large-scale Music Plaza will be built to become a fashionable place for young people to get together to play music.

Wang Gang said that around the core area, catering facilities, bars, shops, hotels and other supporting facilities will be built. Tourists can eat, play, shop and so on while visiting the art district.

In addition, at present, the turntable in the northeast of the art district to the village near baozi is speeding up the construction of the largest business district in East Xi'an. The newly built Art District will be connected with the Banpo Museum and baozi village business circle to become an open Art Park.
