Background
The project is located at the former site of an aluminum factory in Huli District, Xiamen City. The building was originally a public bath of the factory. In 2019, the building was also partially renovated after the aluminum factory was transformed into a creative office park with multiple business forms, such as bars, basketball arena, and live-streaming space. This time we were commissioned by the Buddha artist Jiang Sheng to renovate the building into a new studio and exhibition space called The Field .
The word Elysium originates from Buddhism, meaning the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss or Sukhavati, but THE FIELD is not intended to be an isolated pure land. The owner hopes to abandon the concept of isolated and unreachable and create an attractive spiritual place.

VOID
At the end of 2019, we were commissioned by the JIANGJIABAN to travel to Beijing for a preliminary site visit for their new exhibition VOID . The site of the exhibition is the Black Box Theater , a small theater on the first floor of The Dome Studio in Chaoyang District, Beijing. It is located in a creative park adjacent to the Olympic Forest Park.
As the third collaboration between TEAM BLDG and Jiang Sheng, the VOID is also a turning point for Jiang Sheng in his creative and spiritual journey. This room was named VOID but was “overflowed” with numerous elements. For example, Jiang Sheng adopted a lot of solid and highly saturated materials in VOID , instead of the crystal class glass material that he consistently used for his work.
