如今的杨树浦路2800号曾是远东第一火力发电厂——杨树浦发电厂，由英商投资建成于1913年。这片场地留有丰富的工业遗存，105米的烟囱成为船只入上海港的标志，江岸上的鹤嘴吊、输煤栈桥、传送带、清水池、湿灰储灰罐、干灰储灰罐等作业设施有着特殊的空间体量和形式，令人印象深刻，在杨浦滨江贯通工程中占有重要位置。
Currently at No.2800 Yang Shupu Road is Yang Shupu Power Plant, the once biggest thermal power plant in the Far East, which was built by the British investors in 1913. The site is left over with 105-meter-high chimney, huge crane-mouth hanging along the riverside, trestle works that used to carry the coal, clean water pond, damp and dry ash tanks and etc., which boasts spectacular space and impressive form and occupies a crucial position in the public project of Yangpu Waterfront.

电厂段最东端的码头上，原本的干灰储煤灰罐被改造为灰仓美术馆。灰仓改造的设计方案始于2015年。由于功能的不确定，经历了多轮修改，最终以艺术展览为导向形成具有较强灵活度和开放度的策略进行设计和实施。通过增设两块景观平台，将原先独立的三个灰罐连接成一个统一的整体。采用朦胧界面的处理手法，将原先15米通高的封闭灰仓进行改造。整个空间的使用模式被想象成为一组完全公共的漫游路径，从底部的混凝土框架一直盘绕至灰仓顶部。在形成这样一个漫游的海洋后，以一种类似plug-in（插入城市）的模式将6个功能未确定的空间连同一组折跑楼梯一同插入。而在艺术品介入后最终形成了艺术讨论和公共漫游紧密咬合的空间触动模式。

The dry ash tanks at the east of the wharf is turned into Ash Gallery. Its design starts at 2015. Due to uncertainty of the programming, the project is targeted towards art gallery with high flexibility and openness. Via inserting two platforms, the three isolated ash tanks are united into one. The original 15-meter-high steel surface of the tanks is tore down and replaced by thin horizontal bands, forming an ambiguous interface. The art space is designed as a public promenade, curling from the entrance carved by concrete framework to the top platform. Six boxes with a set of staircases are plugged into the tanks, whose functions are to be decided together with people’s behavior with the warehouse.
