架构师提供的文本描述。2016年年初，BlueFocus通信集团决定在中国大陆多个地点开发一系列场馆。第一家公司随后在北京成立，地点与该集团总部所在的地点相同，这是一家前松下工厂建筑群，最近进行了翻修。这一决定清楚地反映了该公司的优先事项，即在其富有魅力的董事长赵文全的领导下，在中国从制造业发展为一支有创造力的力量。

Text description provided by the architects. At the beginning of 2016, BlueFocus Communication Group decided to develop a series of venues in multiple locations across Mainland China. The first was then established in Beijing, at the same location used for the Group’s Headquarters, a former Panasonic factory complex of recent renovation. Such a decision is an unmistakable reflection of the company’s priorities, to evolve in China from a manufacturing power into a creative force, under the leadership of its charismatic Chairman Mr. Zhao Wenquan.

为此，BlueFocus选择了一座700平方米的工业建筑，其自由高度为8.50米，建于南北方向，将进行翻新，成为该集团活动的场所。“MeePark”概念为众多客户提供了举办活动的空间，这些客户包括当地企业家和中小企业，以及百事可乐和大众等跨国公司。

For this end, BlueFocus selected a 700-sqm industrial building, with a free height of 8.50m, established in a north-south orientation, to be renovated and become the venue for the group’s events. The “MeePark” concept provides a space to host events for a diverse group of clients, ranging from local entrepreneurs and SME’s to multinational corporations such as PepsiCo and Volkswagen.

设计策略将空间划分为两个主要区域：F。

The design strategy divides the space into two main zones: the F&B service area located in the north and the events zone located in the south. When a guest uses the main entrance on the north side, the F&B service zone functions as a reception area, providing diverse facilities such as a wardrobe, signature tables, washrooms and an area to take pictures. On the second floor, guests can find a casual dining area facing towards the vast space provided by the double height of the entrance.

活动区是一个8.50米高的空间，原有的桁架作为老工厂的遗产，现在作为一个多功能的空间重新诞生。主区域配备了各种元素，可以在几分钟内改变空间：一个大的LED屏幕从天花板下来；舞台区域出现在左边的墙壁上；长凳打开，在右边形成一个休息区。所有这些工件提供了一个变革空间，成功地处理不同的活动和事件：从产品演示或辩论到现场音乐会。

The events zone is an 8.50m high space where pre-existing trusses have been left visible as a heritage from the old factory, now reborn as a multifunctional space. The main area is equipped with all sorts of elements than can transform the space in a matter of minutes: a big LED screen descends from the ceiling; the stage area appears from the left side wall; benches open up to create a sitting area on the right. All these artifacts provide a transformative space that successfully deals with different activities and events: from product presentations or debates to live music concerts.

材料的选择范围从混凝土和木地板到聚碳酸酯，玻璃和钢的墙壁。这个选择突出了空间的技术性质，有一系列吸引眼球的LED屏幕，允许不同的表示格式。

The material selection ranges from concrete and wood for the flooring to polycarbonate, glass and steel for the walls. This selection highlights the technological nature of the space, with a series of eye-catching LED screens that allows different presentation formats. 

MeePark将成为人们聚会、社交、举办活动和分享创新想法的理想平台。这个空间是中国作为一个国家的叙事的象征：从成为世界工厂到促进本国产品的消费。

MeePark will become an ideal platform for people to meet, socialize, hold activities and share innovative ideas. The space is a symbol of the narrative of China as a country: evolving from being the factory of the world to promoting local consumption of its own products.
