Fun Factory
Fun Factory is a stand-up comedy theater in Nanjing, China. The total area is 300 square meters, including about 150 square meters of performance space and about 70 square meters of retail and event space. The plan is divided into an inner area that holds the stage and an outer area used before admission. The design reduces the distance between performers and the audience in physical, visual and acoustic terms. Bricks, cement and wall cloth form simple surfaces, while light and shadow guide the movement of visitors.
Fun Factory Standardized Comedy Space by Junpeng Shaw was highlighted as a grand example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Fun Factory Standardized Comedy Space was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2022. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design prize that celebrates exceptional design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
