Master in Architecture thesis proposal, first draft.
As one of the historical districts of Beijing, Tongzhou history clearly reflected in the Grand Canal cultural characteristics. This is the core of Tongzhou's history and culture.
In the middle of the 1980s during the opening of the market, urban development in Tongzhou had been activated at a whole new level, mainly in the sectors of infrastructure, housing and industry.
The new development of the city has not always promoted a balance with the preservation of the historic canal creating a decoupling between the canal and the city.
This thesis proposes to return the symbolic and cultural value to the channel that runs through the city of Tongzhou, by implementing a proposal that generates a balance between the new development of the city and the historical past. #Urban integration #cultural value #preservation #sustainable development #, sharing culture #creating community
