Some factories have been able to continue operations while minimizing the risk of Covid outbreaks by operating with workers shut inside a “closed loop,” meaning that they have to remain inside a plant, eating there and in some cases reportedly sleeping on the floor, for days or even weeks at a time.

Design studio Linehouse has filled a restaurant in a Shanghai art museum with mirrors and arched details informed by eastern and western art and design.
Located inside the UCCA Edge museum, the New Wave by Da Vittorio restaurant was named after the original UCCA museum's opening exhibition The New Wave Art Movement, which also set the tone for its interiors.
Arched shapes are used throughout the restaurant
New Wave, a 20th-century art movement in China, is renowned for its bold experimentation that brought Chinese art into the modern art world.
“The concept for the restaurant comes from the collision of these opposing elements and the process of change,” said Shanghai-based Linehouse.
New Wave by Da Vittorio is located inside Shanghai's UCCA Edge museum
To enter the restaurant, guests pass through a narrow passage that leads from the public museum space into a more intimate dining area.
The restaurant, which measures 620 square metres, also holds a bar, private dining rooms and an outdoor terrace.
Mirrors create an illusion of more space
A sequence of arches was added to the restaurant in reference to the use of colonnades in classical architecture, while matching arched mirrors create an illusion of spatial progression.
New Wave by Da Vittorio also features a ceiling installation formed by arches designed in a more eastern style.
Hanging fabric was cut into curved shapes to match the arches in the interior
The installation consists of hanging fins made from a Japanese triaxle fabric with a woven texture, which has been cut into vaulted shapes to create a softness that evokes floating clouds.
The sheets of fabric are placed in a repetitive order with a pattern that only emerges once you see through one sheet to the next. The studio hoped this would evoke the contradiction between order and chaos.

“Throughout the restaurant, we seek contradiction in materiality to create qualities of soft and hard, rough to smooth, order to unordered and solid to transparent,” Linehouse co-founder and lead designer Alex Mok told Dezeen.
The studio used stone for the main bar counter, which it sculpted into a curved, fluid shape to further explore the juxtaposition between soft and hard surfaces.
Linehouse deliberately chose a stone with a smaller repetitive pattern to create a continuous piece.

The bar area also has a floor patterned with different kinds of stone while in the private dining rooms, precision-machined stainless steel and curved lacquered timber were paired to create another form of contradiction.
“Materials are manipulated as a catalyst for creating disorder, dissipation, fragmentation and surprise,” Mok said.
Different types of stone create a polka-dot pattern on the floor
Linehouse also recently finished a space-theme cafe for Australian chain Black Star Pastry's first Chinese outpost.
The studio was named emerging interior designer of the year at the 2021 Dezeen Awards.

Architecture office Kokaistudios has slotted a polycarbonate structure into the shell of a former factory in Shanghai, China, to create the Baoshan Exhibition Center.
The exhibition space occupies one of few factory buildings that have been preserved on a large industrial site in the Baoshan District, which was once used to produce steel.
Kokaistudios has adaptively reused a former factory in Shanghai
Shanghai-based Kokaistudios' goal for the 725-square-metre factory was to create a flexible interior while preserving all of the structure's original details.
The project is shortlisted for the cultural building of the year in the Dezeen Awards 2021.
The studio inserted a polycarbonate structure
The factory building chosen for the project is positioned at the gateway of the 450,000-square-metre site.
It was commissioned by its owner Baosteel to promote the redevelopment of the remaining factories on the site, as well as other disused industrial buildings in Shanghai.
The polycarbonate volume sits independently from the original building
"Baoshan Exhibition Center preserves the industrial legacy in Shanghai, while setting the stage for its future functions," said Kokaistudios.
"Through embedding new architecture volume, as well as in-built flexibility, Kokaistudios' structure sets a precedent for this landmark project."
The intervention was designed to preserve the existing building
According to Kokaistudios, Baosteel's vision for the site is to create an "eco-industrial park".
Alongside the exhibition centre, it is expected to include a new waste-to-energy power plant, a museum, offices, a park and a series of wetland areas.
It contains an exhibition centre inside
The polycarbonate structure inserted into the factory is designed as a fully separate element, meaning it sits independently from the building's original envelope.
The structure forms a watertight and flexible interior while preserving the factory's original details, which include bulky pipes and machinery inside and out.

According to the studio, polycarbonate was chosen to create "a powerful contrast between the heaviness of the existing steel building and the lightness of the new building".
Polycarbonate is also lightweight, reusable and could be prefabricated, reducing costs and construction times.
Concrete tiles are paired with the polycarbonate walls
Inside, the main exhibition space is filled with freestanding furniture to maximise its adaptability.
Elsewhere, there is a small coffee lounge, meeting room and smaller spaces for use as other exhibition spaces.
A meeting room is among other spaces created inside
Alongside the polycarbonate, the studio has introduced a material palette that includes concrete and stainless steel, chosen for their "cooler tones".
"Throughout, cooler tones contrast with the structure's former associations of blasting furnaces," the studio explained.
Materials with "cooler tones" were selected
The main exhibition hall is the only space to feature natural materials, including wooden veneer that nods to the trees surrounding the site.
Kokaistudios' renovation of the factory is completed with a landscape design that includes simple stone pavers arranged in a striped formation.
Original details of the factory have been preserved
Other shortlisted projects in the cultural building of the year in the Dezeen Awards 2021 include the Yabuli Conference Center by MAD Architects and the Babyn Yar Synagogue by Manuel Herz Architects, which won the public vote for the same category.
Elsewhere in China, Rede Architects and Moguang Studio also recently adaptively reused a factory in Beijing to create a youth centre filled with ramps and slides.
