Liangzhu Cultural Village [玉鸟流苏]
Middle scale urban development taking culture into consideration
Location: [余杭区，良渚镇] Liangzhu Town, Yuhang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang
Typology: Large scale development Scale: 8,500sqm (Built area) Contracting authority: WanKe NanDu real estate company Main Stakeholders: Qi Xin Architects, Zhang Lei, Deshaus, WSP Year: 2004-2008
A giant real estate company in charge of the development of a large part of the town worked with four Chinese architecture firms on this design. Together they developed urban plans fitting local context and culture. Shops, restaurants, art galleries and other facilities were built in a way that facilitates access between the interior and exterior. The final result was of good quality, but it is a long distance from neighbouring big cities and so it is questionable as to how useful it really is.
Keywords: Collection, Art in the city
