故事
石库门是上海最具代表性的历史建筑，它融合了中国南方民居和西方联排别墅的特色。石库门兼具本土特色、殖民时期风格、现代风格和丰富多彩的色彩。
「七十二家房客」是一部上海家喻户晓的戏剧，讲述了 20 世纪 30 年代，来自各行各业的房客 —— 医生、舞女、裁缝、面包师傅、洗衣工、糖果小贩、烟贩、鞋匠、房东、警察等等 —— 在一个石库门里共同生活的故事。
而数字 “72” 并非实数，是由中国五行思想演化来的一种术语，代表的是天地间阴阳的无尽变化。
如今，石库门仍然汇聚着新旧、贫富、南北、东方和西方、本地和外地的人们。他们操着不同的方言，居住在现代建筑的背后，享受着独特的「上海天井」生活方式。
ART-72ROOMS 的概念源于老上海的标志性建筑「石库门」和「七十二家房客」。
ART-72ROOMS 项目旨在以多元化的艺术面貌，创造石库门 72 位房客的新故事。
