Entry Description

Wangou Art Avenue reactivates a former armament factory in Longquan, offering a response to redevelopment challenges in smaller Chinese cities. A renovation-first strategy preserves original structures while adding walkways, nested volumes, and courtyards to connect isolated buildings. These spatial links enhance circulation and mixed-use integration. Grey zones host civic and creative activities. A layered, cluster-based layout merges art, retail, studios, and waterfront leisure into a resilient cultural district.
