Nan Zhuang Village Master Plan and Public Space Activation Strategy: Active Aging and Co-Production Community
First comes research, and then does the design phase begin.
When developing the masterplan and environment design concept for the Nan Zhuang village in Suzhou (China) my initial question was simple: who actually lives here?

Census data analysis showed growth in both the child and elderly populations, pointing to two groups living side by side: newly arrived families and an aging local community.A survey then revealed a gap. Most of the infrastructure was being built for the younger group, leaving older locals underserved.
How does the place live through the year?
Field research indicated seasonal economy: older residents were involved only in winter, through the crab industry, while summer brought a surge of tourists. In-depth interviews uncovered a group I hadn’t expected: digital nomads, drawn by seclusion close to the city. New venues for young people were appearing around them.
What is not working?
I identified three core problems:1 | older residents were excluded from the local economy 2 | tourism and local life did not benefit each other 3 | tourism revenue was captured almost entirely by private campsites
What would change that?
My proposal responded with three moves:1 | converting old buildings into shared housing for retirees and multigenerational families 2 | creating public spaces where visitors and locals could meet 3 | using the area’s sports potential to support the local economy and active aging
And what does that look like up close?

That is how I work.
What I value
The site already has a plot. I just direct it.
