URT’s Zhouyan Wu and her colleagues from architectural firm #GAWA proposed a #revitalization plan for Zhang Village in Yiwu, #China. Their #design features a new community center at the heart of the village and a sequence of public spaces.

The new community center includes two ancestral halls and a new multifunctional hall in a variation layout of the traditional Chinese courtyard building. The scheme focuses on creating a solemn and cohesive space to accommodate ritual and festival activities and meet up-to-date needs.
