Adaptive Reuse On Courtyard House

This project is about a series of programs that focus on updating the existing courtyard in Beijing and providing some new typologies to create the future community.

What should hutong become? Does rebuild mean to destroy another hutong again? I am trying to reflect on the development of courtyards in the past decades and create a better community for the future.

Based on the vernacular elements and structure, this project is rebuilding the existing courtyard house, adding more functions to improve the community vitality.

Key words: Respect the culture, Service for today, Evolution for the future.
