Two districts on a contemporary grid around the two citadels.

In the city of Pingyao, one of the oldest in China, we have developed a new mixed district in the axis of the Yingxun gate (south), we have suggested developing over 71.2 hectares two districts on a contemporary grid around the two existing citadels to which the project will give new life.

The project aims to enhance the historic city and to magnify its approach.

The project aims to enhance the historic city and to magnify its approach but also to offer eco-responsible links with natural spaces (Ping Yun water reserve) and neighboring old villages. The architecture transcribes in a contemporary way the capitals (tou kung) of traditional frameworks as well as the brick moldings.
