The danwei and danwei system, are the unique forms of social organization in China and seems to be strange in the western society.
In this program promoted by Politecnico di Torino and Compagnia di San Paolo, in collaboration with Tsinghua University, in the way of forming the Team of Memory Regeneration, the joint research aimed at introducing the Chinese way of social and spatial organization, transformation, and regeneration modes of Chinese danwei, to the west.
This thesis is the very first production of the team and the goal of it is to provide general background information of danwei and danwei system from a more architectural point of view. The following products of the team would include a series of thesis regarding driving forces, actors and players in danwei system and the transition process. In the 2 months' field work in Beijing, through a wide ranged study of general information regarding danwei, a set of 4 industrial danwei examples were chosen. They are, respectively, Xinhua 1949, No. 2 Cotton Textile Factory, 2nd Thermal Power Plant, and Ertong. Each of the examples represented a certain amount of special characters of danwei and danwei system, and the researches on them and comparing them with the western examples would provide valuable information and experiences to the future reform of danwei system in China.
