This project deviates from the typical standardized commercial transformation model that is prevalent in projects aimed at growing tourism economies and improving city images. Rather, while taking care not to affect the street’s overall scale, the damaged and old architecture was repaired and reconstructed with modern materials and design methods, in order to meet the demands of contemporary commercial activity, new life is given to the old street. The design team focused on the restoration and passing down of historical memory and contexts of Fuqian Road through research and investigation.
