Jackie Chan Stunt Team Training Center
Beijing, China
In 2013, the Jackie Chan Group committed to developing an International Stunt Park at an unusual site: an abandoned cinema park comprised of a cluster of fifteen theaters, a stadium-sized event space, and a shopping mall. Traditionally, developers would have opted for tearing down the almost 700,000sqm of desolate structures taken over by grasses, water, and rust. Due to the group’s environmental commitments, the objective instead was to work with the existing structures that could be salvaged and bring life back to them.
Upcycled waste materials used vary from abandoned DVDs for the outer-façade, tires for the flooring, the waste of husk from rice production for ceiling panels, and polyethylene plastic bags for the artificial turf.
Throughout the renovation works, Miniwiz applied its trademark interlocking technology to limit the use of additional materials and paints. For example, the outer façade uses no paint. The three-dimensional effect is achieved by fins made from recycled DVDs that are screwed into a steel backing reclaimed from the original structure. The fins were made by the injection mold production with two pieces which could interlock with each other as a whole.
