The "Minle Park" commercial area was one of the early commercial districts in Xi'an. After a short period of prosperity, it gradually lost its competitiveness in the intense commercial wave and became alienated from the youthful social life of today.

Due to the large scale of the area and the complex functions of the buildings in the area, covering commercial, office, entertainment and residential functions, it was impractical to demolish and redevelop the whole area. In order to promote the development of the whole area, the main commercial complexes and some of the activity nodes will be renovated to meet the needs of different groups of people, such as local residents, foreign visitors and office workers, and to create a vibrant and interesting public space.

Single activity space after renovation

The chosen site is the main west entrance space of the former Wanda Atrium. After the transformation, this area not only becomes a traffic node for the horizontal commercial corridor, but also increases the vertical traffic connection, dispersing the flow of people with different functions, creating a connection but not affecting each other, which can drive the development of the whole commercial belt. At the same time, the quality of the atrium space has been upgraded, and with the raised roof space, the sense of space and comfort of the atrium has been fully expanded.

Layout of activity floor after renovation

Ground floor layout after renovation

The chosen site is the former roundabout converted into an event square. After the transformation, a residential building on the southwest side of the intersection was demolished, expanding the entire activity space. At the same time, the activity plaza became the leading space for Minsheng's commercial activities, which can effectively drive Minsheng's soon to disappear commercial status. It is a good way to enhance the living standard of the residents in the vicinity. Therefore, this point occupies a very important position in the overall layout of the renovation.

In this project, we designed an outdoor pavilion for tourists and residents to view, rest and hold activities for a homestay, aiming to create a special outdoor experience on the mountain of tea

When discussing materials and construction technology, after considering the actual factors such as function, construction, cost, transportation, etc. we finally chose wood and a more suitable structure, and completed the construction by relying on manpower in Tea mountain.

Through this cooperative construction project, I not only deeply realized the importance of teamwork, but also learned a lot of knowledge about architectural structure.
