About Renewal of Lu Xun's Hometown Consilium Urbanum Regionis Historicae

Renovatio Patriae Lu Xun est propositum consilii urbani pro tractu historico et culturali in urbe Hangzhou, provincia Zhejiang, Sinis. Consilium vias aquaticas pro navigiis umbraculo nigro tectis restituit, una cum viis et angiportis historicis, pontibus et antiquis locorum nominibus. Formatio inspirata est ex textura oppidorum Sinensium traditionalium ad ripas aquarum sitorum. Aedificia restituta fabulas ex operibus scriptoris Lu Xun ductas iterum narrant. Consilium etiam commoda incolarum localium tuetur, aequitatem socialem fovet, et modum vivendi localem conservat.

Unique Properties: Lu Xun, known as Mark Twain of China, was a great humanitarian writer advocating intellectual liberation and spiritual freedom. The renewal of his hometown not only refines the design of spaces, but also cares the interests of multiple groups, ensures social equity and preserves the local lifestyle.
Tags: Former residences of famous people, historical and cultural preservation, renewal of traditional communities, famous tourist attractions
Design Challenge: The design focuses on the contradiction between historical, cultural preservation and modern urban development. It proposed a scheme that meets with many legal and regulatory requirements on height, material, color and form, and comprehensively solves the issues of safety, fire protection and traffic.
Research: We had made research on local history through books, archives and interviews with local scholars. We had negotiated with local people on issues include economic interests and social services to protect their best interests and improve their life quality. Ultimately, we have proposed a win-win solution for all parties.
Inspiration: The design is inspired by the texture of the traditional Chinese waterfront towns and cities. It restores the traditional scenes by restoring waterways for black awning boats, historical streets and alleys, bridges and old names of places. These restored architectures will retell the stories based on novels written by Lu Xun.
