Vertical CourtYard| Beijing, China
The project is in a very famous scenic spot in Beijing, Qianmen Street. This street is located in the core area of Beijing and is a point on the central axis of the city. This area combines commerce, residence, and the hutong neighborhood full of urban characteristics. The architectural elements are very rich. The age spans a lot, there are both ancient buildings and urban renewal based on ancient buildings. I hope to design a multi-functional micro-community such as residential, commercial, and office in one site. The project name is Vertical Courtyard. The most important thing is to organise the courtyard with hutong characteristics in the whole building. In the case of very limited urban land, the original courtyard courtyard is extracted from the plane and arranged on a vertical level to form a continuous courtyard space, connecting various functions, such as hotel, office, residence, business and so on.
This part of the vertical courtyard enables people in each part to have a public area where they can communicate, entertain and relax. Through the design of the space, different groups of people have the possibility of communication and dialogue, providing a green and natural courtyard space. Such vertical courtyards enable people living in high-density cities to have a lifestyle of sharing a courtyard among neighbors in ancient times, and to have a piece of soil that can breathe natural air in high-density cities.
