Project Location: Dameisha Village, Shenzhen Site Area: 3200sqm
Design Period: 2017.08-2017.12 Status: Built Category: Cultural & Educational
The design of a 500m public street centers on the "water culture" of Dameisha villagers living on the sea. Through organization
and integration of existing random spaces on site, three visiting routes, i.e.,
A, B and C, as well as two key spatial nodes, i.e., the shrine and street
garden are generated. Existing street surface of various materials are repaired
and consolidated with water permeable grey bricks, some of which are coated with
blue paint to symbolize the extension of "water culture".
In the design of Street A, which is themed as . "Street
Parlor", old-fashioned furniture is re-used in different scenes and placed in
the public street of Dameisha Village as people-centered public facilities.
Street B, as the main visiting route, connects Building 1 to 9 and the
exhibition hall. Each renovated building has a fish lantern as the sign of building
entrance. The fish lantern design is originated from the fish lantern used in
Sha Tau Kok fish lantern dancing from Yantian District, which is listed as
national intangible cultural heritage. The design of Street C, as a special
route of this exhibition, is approached via the theme of a "daily" street,
integrating the daily activities of villagers including sun drying, storing,
planting and resting etc. The design is integrated into a modular frame
structure, while the real daily life of villagers also becomes part of the
exhibition.
