THEME
Complexity makes the attractiveness of cities, while the attractiveness is not only from diverse functions, people and story mingled in certain place, but also the constantly changing of needs over time. Designers is a group who have a sharp eye of these ‘changes’. In the processes of global Urban Micro Regeneration, many cases which turned dust into glory, converted ordinary into extraordinary, fulfilled the new needs and made new life experience are brought by designers from various fields.
In city Kunming (Capital of Yunnan Province, China), there is an evacuation passageway which is 8m in height 8m in width totally 300m in length, connecting several sunken entrance plazas of a big underground shopping mall. This evacuation passageway, giant in volume, center of this site, should be functioned more than just an 'evacuation tube'. We look forward to innovative ideas which can make this passageway an attractive place, and moreover, part of daily life of the communities nearby and the whole city.
