SEMI CITY / PROJECTS
How does the SEMI CITY approach enter real neighborhoods and cities?
Methods are tested through specific projects rather than presented as a large platform before they are ready.
Published cases: from city, to street, to community, unfolding in sequence.
PROJECTS / SELECTED
A late-Qing local teaching text from Fushun, reopened as a digital edition for reading, searching and browsing its named entities.
A research archive that re-enters Zigong through landscape, salt, culture and daily life to identify what makes the city irreducible to another.
A community chronicle, historic-building guide and cultural maps reorganise knowledge scattered across buildings, streets and memory into cultural assets people can read and recognise.
Starting with periods, place names, community stories and cultural traces, this project builds cultural maps for a subdistrict and turns them into tangible leads for public space and local scenes.
Rather than applying one faux-historic style across the city, the guide derives each district’s era identity and spatial language from its formation, people, events and defining period.
