The Shanghai-la Librairie Avant-garde renovation project in Wugong Village repurposes three traditional Tibetan 'Shanpian' houses, showcasing a commitment to cultural preservation. With a limited budget, the architects opted for renovation over demolition, respecting the structural integrity and cultural significance of the existing homes. The project aims to provide visitors with a deeper understanding of the local Tibetan culture and environment while addressing functional issues such as the roofs made from fir wood shingles. This initiative fosters ancestral connections amid modern adaptations.
The renovation of the Shanghai-la Librairie Avant-garde emphasized preserving the cultural heritage of the Tibetan houses, respecting their historical context while addressing functional needs.
Our focus was on the sustainable rehabilitation of these traditional structures, allowing them to serve as cultural touchstones for future generations while operating under a limited budget.
