SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
Dongcun is located on a hilltop next to Jialing Bridge in Shangqing Temple, Chongqing . It was once the former residence of Xian Ying. The original building complex belonged to Chongqing Light Industry Design Institute, with four original buildings. One below, the other three above in a U-shaped layout according to the mountainous terrain. The opening of U faces the Jialing River. A bomb shelter from the war period is preserved underneath the building complex, connecting the Jialing River Binjiang road downhill with the Dongcun on the hill.
The entire site is located in a striking location similar to a bridgehead with a large river view. Due to the lack of transportation, it has become ‘elephant in the room’ in the true sense: although it has a large volume in the city, it is difficult to get the attention of passers-by. It's like a lonely cloud hanging over the bustling bridgehead every day. This specialty of the place inspired the designer's original idea: the Sky City, a non-daily place overlooking the daily life.
We wish to present the history in an artistic way and give tourists a Chongqing Style time travel by creating an underground system (past) and an overground system(now and future). With the functional changes, commercial layout and the design concept of sky city, we hope people could get away from the pressure and reborn.
