Entry Description

The renovation project emphasizes the creation of urban vitality through curating public programs with integrated landscape.The meandering corridors evoke the spatial quality of courtyards,accommodating diverse events.The attached luminous"floating boxes"conceal the underlying subway infrastructure while hosting retail and exhibition.Embedded with swaying-column system,canopies maintain a sense of lightness and dynamism.The square has been transformed into a vibrant civic realm,evolving from a symbolic showcase into a genuinely public space that fosters everyday life and community engagement.
