the 72 studio, shanghai, china
OFFICE: freelance DESCRIPTION: The 72 Studio is a new music recording studio in Shanghai, designed and built by the owners themselves, with help from friends and various local tradesmen. The construction phase took roughly 6 months and is now operational. Involvement in this project provided first hand experience in all aspects of the construction process in China - a better understanding of working with contractors, meeting building code requirements, and following time schedules. The project has also brought a much deeper understanding of building materials, and an appreciation for material reuse. Throughout construction we sought to use materials that would otherwise go towards landfill, using materials such as denim off-cuts and car door internal lining as soundproofing insulation.
