The design employs a combination of strategies for revitalization, including "demolition, restoration, preservation, renewal, and integration."Save this picture!Save this picture!Demolishing Temporary StructuresThe site was initially burdened by temporary structures. The design team removed these barriers, widened roads, improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and reconnected the site to Qi Garden and the Zhang Leping Memorial Hall, creating a cohesive urban space.Save this picture!Save this picture!Preserving Historical SymbolsThe main buildings are on-site, and their facades are in severe disrepair. The design preserved the industrial aesthetic of the Electric Instrument Factory's original facade while updating its roof and structural elements to facilitate a dialogue between past and present.Save this picture!Save this picture!Revamping FacadesThe new architectural facades adhere to the "dialogue between old and new" principle. Intangible heritage motifs were reinterpreted into contemporary patterns, with ripple-patterned perforated aluminum panels enveloping the structures.Save this picture!Save this picture!Integrating the CorridorNew architectural elements inspired by traditional Haiyan residential styles were introduced at the ground level. A series of continuous pitched roofs echo the vernacular architecture, linking the ICH Museum, historic doorways, and boutique homestays into a cohesive corridor that traverses the site.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Restorating Twin Pools Scenic SpotAt the heart of the site lay a pond, the historic location of the Twin Pools Scenic Spot.
