Beijing
Architecture and design projects in Beijing, from residential centers to adaptive reuse of historic structures.
Beijing's architectural landscape encompasses both new community spaces and interventions within existing urban fabric. Projects in this topic explore how designers approach residential parks, public gathering spaces, and historic preservation in one of China's major cities.
The community examines strategies including organizing community centers around courtyards and frames, revealing historical layers in traditional siheyuan structures, and converting industrial buildings into contemporary multi-use spaces.
