Lorem Ipsum: Zwischenüberschrift

About 3000 old abandoned stone quarries exist in Jinyun in eastern China. The Beijing architect Xu Tiantian, founder of DnA_Design and Architecture, has developed use concepts for nine of them, the aim being to make them cultural spaces and thus revitalize the region and foster tourism. The transformation of three of the old quarries has now been completed, and work on the others has already begun.

Quarry no. 10 is the starting point of the new cultural route, and it is from here that a pathway leads to the others. In the cavernous space mined into the ground and at the top opening up in almost rectangular manner to the sky, stonemasons from the surroundings demonstrate to visitors the work that shaped everyday life in the region for so long.

Just 80 m further on, lectures are held and plays and performances of the traditional Wuju opera are put on in quarry no. 9, where artificial illumination creates a festive atmosphere and also focuses attention on the huge, fissured rock walls. In the lower sections, vertical score marks recall mining performed with machines. The tapered upward opening that was mined manually on the other hand, results in a cathedral-like space covered over at the rear. Although the geometry of this cave came about by chance, it creates excellent acoustics.

As such the quarry is almost 40 m in height and reaches some 50 m into the mountain. A 27-metre-long tunnel leads from the uppermost level to quarry no. 2, whose remodeling and transformation are eagerly awaited.
