The Transformation Design Of The A Block Of North Street,in Hutang Traditional Blocks Of Wujing,Changzhou

In recent years,many historical blocks in Chinese cities have been lacking effective maintenance and renewal for a long time.It is difficult to maintain the traditional style of the blocks.How to combine the protection,development,and utilization into a combination is related to the inheritance and de-velopment of the urban context.The reconstruction of historic districts,deepening the construction of a high-quality public spaces with traditional features,can generate new forces to activate the city.This kind of example is also not uncommon,the rebirth of Nirvana in Taikoo Li,Chengdu,and the splen-dor of Hangzhou’s Southern Song Dynasty’s imperial street have set a good example for us.For ar-chitects,this is a challenge,but it is also an opportunity.My thesis is the planning and transformation design of the North Street Block A located in Hutang Old Street,Wujin District,Changzhou.Hutang Old Street is centered on Hutang Bridge,which is located above Datong River.The design is based on North Street.The A block is selected to deepen the construction of a rich variety of high quality public sapce with traditional features.As a designer,I want to explore the relationship between the site and its surroundings,to solve the spatial and the type of Operation distributional relationship between the individual building blocks in the site.The appro-priate structure and materials will be used to solve the needs of the transformation and space renova-tion of the old block.It is hoped that through design methods and on the premise of fully analyzing the problems,A Block will be built to create a vibrancy zone that is based on experiential retail busi-ness in harmony with surrounding sites.
