Unreal Estate and China’s Collective Unconscious
One of the former plants of the Capital Steel Group in Beijing
Once considered a symbol of the revolution and high modernism, many of the state-owned steel factories from the socialist era are now in a derelict state, waiting to be reappropriated, cleaned up, and redeveloped. In this case, this former Capital Steel plant in Beijing is being transformed into a creative cultural industrial zone for the capital’s emerging animation and manga industry.
