Abandoned Tanks Turns Into Art Museum
On the banks of Shanghai’s Huangpu River, Beijing-based practice OPEN Architecture has transformed five giant aviation fuel tanks into Tank Shanghai, a new contemporary art museum and open park. Developed over six years, the adaptive reuse project not only creates a new cultural asset for the city, but also helps reconnect residents to the waterfront.

Located on an industrial site, five decommissioned aviation fuel tanks, which once belonged to Shanghai's former Longhua Airport, have been transformed into a vibrant community art center. As part of a broader revitalization plan for the city's southwest region, OPEN Architecture reimagined these disused containers into a dynamic cultural hub, with each tank now housing distinct programming. The surrounding landscape has also been reworked, featuring long, flowing lawns that connect the site with the previously inaccessible Huangpu riverfront. These open spaces can now host a variety of outdoor events, from art festivals to book fairs.
At the heart of the design for Tank Shanghai is the Z-shaped "Super-Surface" — a five-hectare landscape of trees and grasses that zigzags across the site, uniting the five tanks. This landscape gradually rises to become a green roof for a new built structure below. Two of the tanks are positioned above the Super-Surface, while the other three sit slightly lower. The tanks were retrofitted to accommodate a variety of facilities, including a two-story live-house and bar, a restaurant, and art exhibition spaces. The architects preserved the industrial exterior of the tanks, making only minimal changes to the facades, while curvilinear outdoor pathways complement the rounded shapes of the tanks.
“Tank Shanghai represents a new type of urban art institution — one that links the past with the future, reconnects people with the natural environment, and blends art with nature,” said the architects. “It is an art center without boundaries, and as it continues to integrate into the life of the city, Tank Shanghai will inspire the creation of more inclusive and collective cultural spaces.” The center officially opened its doors in March 2019.
