Recovering Urban Memory: Beijing
Chicago Studio Award (First Place), 2019
An architectural intervention to redesign an abandoned farmer's market in the historic heart of Beijing's Baitasi District, resurrecting collective spaces such as farmers' markets and cafes that had slowly disappeared from the community fabric. I developed this proposal through the UIUC Plym Studio, exploring lost cultural practices and spaces in the district from the turn of the century through to the late modern period. The studio was led in collaboration with Dong Gong of Vector Architects and Professor Botund Bognar. See an interview ↗ about this project with Mayur Mistry.
