The project is located in the only remaining core area of the old city in the urban area of Ninghai. The traditional courtyard texture and historical buildings with distinctive regional architectural features in Ningbo are well preserved. The Chenghuang Temple and the ancient stage in the site are the national cultural protection units, and the landmarks of the culture of Laoninghai City. As a microcosm of the renewal of the old city area, this case integrates modern business models into the texture of traditional architecture, inheriting, continuing, and engaging in dialogue with history, thereby achieving the cultural revival of the old city. The design starts from the square public open space generated by historical buildings such as the Chenghuang Temple and the Old Theater to activate the space pointedly and provide people with a shared place with diverse functions.
