DESIGN NAME: Jiangshan Fishing Village Renovation
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Renovation
INSPIRATION: Under the impact of modern urbanization, the decline of rural areas has become an unavoidable reality. Mix Architecture was commissioned by Jiangshan Fishing Village in Gaochun of Nanjing to meet the basic needs of indigenous peoples for modern functions and cultural life, and formulated a rural renewal plan.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project is a human-oriented preservation and renovation practice of a small village, aiming to meet the basic needs of modern cultural life for the residents. The first phase of the Jiangshan Fishing Village Renewal Plan consists of two parts, namely the renovation of the vacant old homes and the construction of rural public facilities.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The transformation of the old house is the focus of the renovation plan. The design retains the external appearance of the rare old houses with the maximum degree in this village, hoping to emphasize the importance of regional characteristics and cultural heritage. At the same time, disruptive functional replacement and spatial reconstruction of the interior of the building were implemented.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in 2017 in Nanjing, China, and finished in January 2018.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: A bookcase wrapped in a patio and a glass tea pavilion facing the courtyard were implanted. They not only became the center of space activities, but also broke the boundaries between the interior and exterior, introducing sunlight and nature into the dimly old houses, making them become Village neighborhoods as a new place for communication and cultural blending.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The gross built area is 385 square meters.
TAGS: Renovation, Adaptive Reuse, Village, Architecture, Old and New
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The construction of rural public health facilities is to meet villagers' needs of nearby toilets in their daily life and working. The two public toilets are located at the entrance of the village and the groves in the village.
CHALLENGE: The most basic forms and architectural methods of construction ensure that a simple modern aesthetic can still be presented in less capital and regional construction conditions. And through the dislocation of buildings, a "gap" is formed, allowing the building to enjoy good ventilation and lighting effects with only a small amount of equipment.
