Production Technology: Longquan Village has a large number of historical buildings in bad condition due to disorderly additions and reconstructions, and a lack of scientific and effective maintenance management. It has a significant historical, artistic and cultural meaning to repair and preserve these buildings. After site research and direct communication with each dweller, the design meets their diversified requirements. It incorporates the different needs of the residents into a unified framework to ensure that the overall image of all residences is harmonious and unified in this rural tourism project.
Design Challenge: The project has four main challenges, including the renovation of massive houses for all kinds of residents, the inheritance and reuse of historical sites, farmland protection, and industrial revitalization and organization reconstruction.
Research: How to integrate these public facilities into future urban planning so as to realize the efficient use of facilities and benefit the community is the main concern of this project. This is not just an architectural design, urban design, or planning matter, but involves sociology, public administration, and more. From the site selection, function, and detailed design of each public building, to the specific industry and operation mode inside the building, all these aspects have undergone in-depth research and consideration.
Inspiration: The project site has distinctive human, historical, and natural advantages of mountains and rivers. Inspired by the site context and based on agricultural production, the design comprehensively optimizes land use, industrial development, residential renovation, community welfare improvement, environmental remediation, ecological conservation, and cultural revival.
Project Duration: The project had been designed from March to December 2021 in Longquan Village, Nanjiang, Sichuan, China. It is still under construction.
Operation Flow: The urban planning design includes the comprehensive upgrading of the village, reshaping the ancient village impression, continuing the red memory, and advocating the farming and reading culture. It strives to create a rural revitalization planning and design work with a continuous spirit, and distinctive regional characteristics, which is adapting to the development of the times.
