Cầu Đất茶叶部建于1929年，由法国人建造，位于Lâm Đồng省Đà Lạt市Xuân Trưng镇，占地1.2公顷，是东南亚第一个拥有大型茶厂的地方。现在，它变成了茶叶博物馆，并提供各种设施的茶，以及越南青年的一个新的目的地。这包括茶山，为茶厂开放的茶文化展览，艺术装置空间，以及为游客提供的咖啡小馆。

Built in 1929 by French, and located in Xuân Trường Town, Đà Lạt City of Lâm Đồng Province, 1.2 hectares, Cầu Đất Tea Department was the first place has a large tea factory in south-east Asia. Now it’s transformed into Tea Museum and offers a variety of facilities for tea, as well as a new destination for Vietnamese youth. This includes tea hills, opening up for a tea manufactory with a tea culture exhibition, art installation spaces, and a cafe bistro for visitors.

老工厂有四座建筑。这些历史建筑的外观不仅传递了一定的审美价值，而且还具有特殊的意义。它们是我们过去的一个可见的纽带。而且它们讲述了自己的故事，任何人都可以通过进去体验。人们可以认为自己是更长历史的一部分。这样一来，老建筑可以创造一种归属感。换句话说，他们的结构使社区的记忆得以延续。

The old factory has four buildings. The appearance of these historic buildings does not only transmit a certain esthetic value, but also a particular meaning. They are a visible bond to our past. And they tell their stories that anyone can experience by going inside. People can think of themselves as being part of a longer history. This way, old buildings can create a feeling of belonging. In other words, their structures keep community memories alive.

因此，建筑师将其中最古老的建筑–主要的古代制造仓库–改造成一个充满活力的文化中心，供游客和那些想研究越南茶文化的人使用。在改造之前，该建筑类似于一个工厂的典型。这种由松木板和波纹钢板制成的废弃工业建筑，通常被认为没有什么价值。但建筑师希望这个项目能展示这些结构如何以有质量的方式和有限的预算进行再利用和翻新。

Therefore, the architects have taken the oldest building of them all – the main ancient manufacturing warehouse – and transformed it into a vibrant cultural hub for visitors and those who want to research Vietnam’s tea culture. Before the renovation, the building resembled a factory typical. This type of abandoned industrial building, made from pine wood boards and corrugated steel panels, is often perceived as having little value. But the architects hope this project shows how these structures can be reused and renovated in a qualitative way and for a limited budget.

虽然有了无趣的外表和波纹钢板，这个旧工厂往往包含了一个令人印象深刻的内部空间，其宏伟的比例是基于重复的、整齐的结构系统和一些旧的制造商（1931年从欧洲完全进口）的美丽存在。这就是建筑的基本真实价值–建筑师希望向外界暴露和突出它。

Although with the appearance of the uninteresting exterior and corrugated steel panels, this old factory often contains an impressive interior space of magnificent proportions based on a repetitive, neatly arranged structural system and the beautiful existence of some old manufactories (fully imported from Europe in 1931). This is the essential true value of the building – and the architects want to expose and highlight it to the outside world.

建筑师的方法很简单，就是拆除建筑中不合适的墙体，归还原来的价值，并根据现有的结构重新安排房间的功能和展览空间。这种方法可以使废弃的工业建筑再生，使面临拆除的建筑恢复活力。而且，它将继续与它的用户一起发展–无论是在短期内，作为旅游的目标，还是在长期内，当新的茶文化项目被加入时。

The architects’ approach was simply to remove the unsuitable walls in the building, return the original worths and rearrange the rooms for functions and exhibition spaces depending on the existing structure. This approach can regenerate abandoned industrial buildings and revitalize the building facing demolition. And it will continue to evolve with its users – both in the short term, as the tourism aiming, and the long term, when new programs of tea cultures are added.

使用的材料非常简单，主要是翻新的钢材、聚碳酸酯板、当地的砖和现场的土壤-水泥混合物。甚至艺术作品也是由茶叶制成的，并由泥土和丙烯酸混合涂抹。建筑物的外部是新的防锈漆皮，目的是使它从邻居中脱颖而出。此外，这种颜色在未来将作为3D绘图项目的巨大画布。

The materials used are very simple, mostly refurbished steel, polycarbonate panels, local bricks and soil-cement mixture at the site. Even the artworks are made from tea leaves and painted by mixing earth with acrylic. The outside of the building is newly anti-rust painted skin, intended to make it stand out from its neighbors. Besides, this color will serve as a giant canvas for 3D mapping projects in the future.

对原始结构的保护以及对材料的再利用和升级改造，使得以极低的费用进行整修成为可能。这是一个极其经济的改造，每平方米约200美元，但精神价值惊人。自开业以来，工厂每天约有300名新访客，他们会了解当地的历史和人民，同时也会被原有的固定装置和机器以及艺术模拟和茶产品制作步骤的结合所吸引。如果这一切还不足以让游客满足，还有一个茶吧，里面有品酒师，他们会冲泡各种Cầu Đất茶产品，并指导他们制作新的茶饮料，在他们的旅程结束后等待他们。

The preservation of the original structure and the reuse and upcycling of materials made it possible to carry out the refurbishment at a very low expense. It is an extremely economical conversion at around $200 per square meter, but incredible spiritual value. Since the opening, the factory has had about 300 new visitors each day, who will understand the local history and people as well as be captivated by the combination of the original fixtures and machines and artistic simulations and steps for making tea products. And if all this isn’t enough to get visitors contented, there is a tea bar with sommeliers who will brew all kinds of Cầu Đất Tea Products and guide them to make new tea drinks awaiting them at the end of their journey.
