"When we secured the contract for the renovation and revitalization of the Lingzhi Station Ventilation Pavilion on Shenzhen Metro Line 12 for the Shenzhen Joy City project, we began to contemplate more deeply about this infrastructure that had faced "repeated delays" throughout its protracted construction phase. Shenzhen Joy City is situated in the old Bao'an District, Zone 25, a place rich with the memories of the area's long-time residents."
"We often observe that human memory can be unreliable. It is only through the interaction of an individual with the tangible systems of their environment that the emotions, experiences, and sensations that arise become anchored in the fabric of daily life. Urban renewal, at its heart, is about weaving a collective everyday existence."
The renovation and revitalization of the Lingzhi Station Ventilation Pavilion on Shenzhen Metro Line 12 connects an infrastructure project to the surrounding Shenzhen Joy City development in Bao'an District Zone 25. The pavilion experienced repeated construction delays before the renewal. The locale holds strong memories for long-time residents. Human memory is often unreliable, and meaningful recollection emerges through interaction between individuals and tangible environmental systems. Emotions, experiences, and sensations become anchored through those interactions, embedding themselves into daily life. Urban renewal aims to integrate infrastructure and public space to weave a shared, collective everyday existence for the community.
