get a closer look at industrial art park by OPEN architecture ‘tank shanghai’
OPEN architecture gives new life and cultural relevance to five abandoned aviation fuel tanks scattered across an empty industrial site along the banks of shanghai?s huangpu river. over the course of six years, the five tanks were converted from waste containers to a vibrant contemporary art center, with galleries and other public spaces housed within the tanks themselves. one of the world?s rare examples of the adaptive re-use of aviation fuel tanks, tank shanghai has attracted millions of visitors since its opening in march 2019 and has solidified its place in the chinese city?s contemporary art scene.

OPEN architecture conceives tank shanghai as both an art museum and an open park, revitalizing a derelict site. the architecturally and culturally significant master plan sets itself apart as a sanctuary for both people and nature. open, accessible, and seamlessly integrated with the surrounding landscape, the project not only pays tribute to the industrial past of its context, but also dissolves conventional ideas of site boundaries. within a year, tank shanghai has hosted high-profile art exhibitions, a fashion week, art festival, and AI conference. by introducing new audiences to the traditionally closed-off space of the art center, tank shanghai has introduced new energy to the formerly industrial neighborhood and to the southwest banks of the city.
