Vlog House-Creative Video Studio

Project description

The project is a creative video studio located in Shanghai. An increasing number of people record some activities in their daily life and upload to their social media platform these years in Shanghai. Most of them have not learned how to make videos and can not find a suitable place to shoot and edit videos. So, the project turns an abandoned old warehouse into a creative video studio that provides equipment, video courses, private studios for both vloggers and the public.

The design concept of the project is from ‘frame finder.’ The shooting process can seem like the extension of the frame finder. I would like to reflect the shooting process into space. So I have designed the three-dimensional openings on the walls, which give people different views of the shooting scene.

Everyone is in the videos when they are in this building.

Everyone can be both the video creator and audience in this building.

Site-Minsheng Road Granary

Minsheng Road Granary is located in an old warehouse complex along the Huangpu River in Shanghai, built around 1910. After 1949, Minsheng Road Granary is operated by Shanghai Port Authority. Now, the building belongs to Shanghai East Coast Company. Nowadays, most of the warehouses in the Minsheng Road warehouse complex have been renovated or leased to art companies, and only two are left unmodified. Therefore, the building needs renovation and needs to retain its industrial historical value.
