The Future of Historical and Cultural Area

Sammanfattning: In the rapid development of urbanization, there are some people have been forgotten. They have to make a compromise to such urbanization. While witnessing their cities becoming better and better, some of the local residents are forced to move to the suburbs. There are many historical urban areas in my home town in the process of gentrification and demographic reconstructuring. The top-down reform always starts with a large scale demolition. I am really interested in finding another way to revitalize urban area apart from a large scale demolition, I try to explore and practice the urban acupuncture which means just propose the local construction design for the urban problems that need to be solved. With more and more partical designs, a large area would be influenced gradually, so as to activate the vitality of communities and even the whole city. This project started with reorganizing the courtyards in the historical area to improve the lilfe quality and revitalize the quarter step by step.
