GRiD, a youth focused mall and education hub, sits at the heart of Singapore’s Selegie Arts District，sandwiched between SOTA (School of the Arts) and Park Lane and Peace Centre, two of Singapore’s older generation of shopping malls.

在改造前，这里只是一个毫不起眼的街角。通过设计改造，GRiD化身为极具吸引力的“灯塔”，变成一个色彩鲜明、风格独特的社交空间，吸引众多体验者前来打卡。
Before the renovation, this was just an inconspicuous street corner. Through design and transformation, GRiD has transformed into an attractive "beacon", becoming a vibrant digital generation friendly “instagrammer” canvas for content creators, and experience seekers.

GRiD购物中心金属网格造型颇具工业风，以老虎机的外形塑造建筑形体，并以头奖GRiD作为建筑LOGO，LOGO的错位设计也从老虎机的滚动汲取灵感。照明设计师结合建筑外形，以彩色线条的形式表现建筑形体，致敬了过去的霓虹时代。
The metal mesh design of the GRiD shopping center is quite industrial style, shaping the architectural form with the appearance of slot machines, and using the first prize GRiD as the architectural logo. The staggered design of the logo also draws inspiration from the rolling of slot machines. The lighting designer combines the appearance of the building to express its form in the form of colored lines, paying tribute to the past neon era.

照明设计概念
建筑师用明亮的色彩，大胆的搭配让GRiD在周围建筑中脱颖而出。照明设计师则用大面积的霓虹灯和极具工业风的照明设计，给这个沉闷的街区增添了不少活力。
Architects use bright colors and bold combinations to make GRiD stand out among surrounding buildings. Lighting designers use large areas of neon lights and highly industrial style lighting designs to add a lot of vitality to this dull neighborhood.

在GRiD的各个入口，都散发着后工业美学的气息。霓虹灯勾勒出超大实用图形，将外部的能量被带入内部空间。图形主题引导用户聚集到建筑周围，从街道到地下室，再通过自动扶梯空隙和电梯大堂，到达位于建筑上层的餐厅、商店和教育园区。
At each entrance of GRiD, there is a scent of post industrial aesthetics. Neon lights outline super large practical graphics, bringing external energy into the internal space. The graphic theme guides users to gather around the building, from the street to the basement, and then through escalator gaps and elevator lobbies, to reach the restaurants, shops, and educational park located on the upper floor of the building.
Near the School of Arts (SOTA), architects have created a double decker entrance where pedestrian traffic can reach underground through stairs. The stairs provide more display areas for the store, while also having social attributes. Lighting designers design with the concept of a stage, where people can watch programs on screen or perform live.
卫生间这一实用空间被设计成了社交场所，用于偶然会面、闲聊和形象塑造，同时在购物、教育或工作之间休息。照明设计上以工矿灯造型的灯具与裸顶配合，以及明装的灯管布置于洗手台上方提供基础照明，延续了整体的工业风设计手法。
The bathroom, a practical space, has been designed as a social space for occasional meetings, casual conversations, and image building, while resting between shopping, education, or work. In terms of lighting design, the combination of mining shaped fixtures and bare roofs, as well as the arrangement of exposed light tubes above the washbasin, provide basic lighting, continuing the overall industrial style design approach.

社交洗手间定制的后工业时代洗手盆、各种抽象的图形、被设计成“照相亭”背景的卫生间隔间，是个绝佳的拍照打卡点，次世代的博主可以在这里尽情的展现自我。
The post industrial wash basin customized for social restrooms, various abstract graphics, and bathroom compartments designed as "photo booths" background are excellent photo check-in points where next-generation bloggers can fully showcase themselves.
GRiD购物中心是一个很好的案例，它通过社交属性、增加可到达性以及扩大社区相关性，对现有建筑进行充满活力的改造，而不是大规模的拆除和重建。
The GRiD is a great example of a dynamic renovation of existing buildings through social attributes, increased accessibility, and expanded community relevance, rather than large-scale demolition and reconstruction.
