Prologue

Content

There is so much that needs to be carried by Chinese architecture. The ancient Chinese imposed rituals, morals and class divisions on architecture.

01

Rebuild Life

As China has moved into the modern world, the ancient forms of architecture have come under great impact.

02

Interior Design of LibrairieAvant-Garde

It is our common mission as students of Chinese architecture to preserve the common memory of the people and to safeguard and pass on Chinese culture and civilisation.

Restoration of Pukou Railway Station

04

Campus Design within the Urban Conversation Area

However, it is clear that to build modern buildings using the methods of the past is a backward and corrupting act.

What, then, should be done to give Chinese architecture rebirth?

--Design of Comprehensive Innovative Community in Shanghai Lingang New City

Time: 2024.8-2024.11 Location: Shanghai Character: Extracurricular exploration Instructor: Zhou Yangxunxun

The project is aimed at the elderly, the young and the children, each of whom has its own desired living and activity space, forming different building types and finally achieving intergenerational integration through vertical connections. The restoration of the old architecture of Shanghai is also a strong contrast to the lightness of the modern buildings.

Shanghai's lane blocks were once the main form of urban housing for most Shanghainese, a type of urban space that had a decisive influence on the formation of Shanghai's cultural DNA, and an ideal type of housing that has been tested by history and recognised by the people; as an example of a mixed mode of housing and an open neighbourhood, the permeable interfaces of the lane blocks with their diverse functions not only limit the interface of the city streets, but also meet the needs of different classes of people, providing the basis for the shaping of a ‘living’ social space of multiple integrations.

As an example of a mixed residential pattern and open settlement, the permeable interface of the lilong block with a variety of functions not only defines the interface of the urban street, but also meets the needs of people from different classes, providing a basis for shaping a ‘living’ social space with multiple integration.
