City And Wall

City Wall has been an integral part of a city. As the boundary and surrounding space, it had played an essential role in city's evolution. Nowadays, city wall has been largely regarded as a symbolic city form and historical construct, with attached cultural denotations. Losing original defensive functions, city wall has obtained these cultural interpretations revealing the artistic transformation of architecture in which the loss of functional use has propelled the wall to become the spatial incarnation of cultural symbolism, image vision, landmark, historical reference, and memory.
