Voice Recording 1982 is a joint ESG program by CSWADI and Si-Ma-Qiao community council to turn the abandoned structures of a construction firm’s brick and mortar dormitories (dating back to the year 1982) into one green employment powerhouse.
Incubating 87 units of mini startup studios, a penthouse gym, several shared conference rooms, and a dozen of local bars and restaurants, it tries to maximize and profit from an ignored urban spatial resource that was previously inaccessible to the general public, i.e. building façades.
By projecting a normally horizontal park onto the verticality of those old buildings, a 2.47-times larger than the site green space is created in the crowded urban context.
Two routes consisting of stairs, glass balconies and continuous slides are provided to make the park’s round-about trip from street to rooftop more interesting, encouraging visitors to wander through different floor levels, while giving the occupant startup firms more publicity.
Some exits of the slides on ground level are phonograph-shaped, a happy community memoir that tries to lure not only kids, but also adults to use the slides instead of elevators, thus saving energy. The building exterior, capturing up to 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide annually, is diversely vegetated, providing a green shade during summer and three other seasons of flowering scenery. The rooftops of the buildings are intentionally left open to host occasional grander events as well as not so occasional tai-chi grannies.
Voice Recording 1982 was completed in 2022. It was Chengdu city’s most heated local topic for over one week on Douyin (Chinese Ticktock), and liked over 200,000,000 times under the title You can slide your way out of worktime. It has contributed a continuous interest into Si-Ma-Qiao old quarters’ urban regeneration efforts ever since.
