Patch-City Pavilion / ROOI Design and Research

Patch-City Pavilion. The project is located at an old quarter in Guangzhou. An former primary school was once situated there, surrounded by many run-down residential buildings and apartments. The school moved away many years ago as a result of the urban modernization, and traditional market place cultures in nearby communities are disappearing. The current owner of the school building is inland Guangzhou. In order to integrate urban modernization with historical features and develop new urban street market to revitalize old communities, the client entrusts ROOI to take charge of the temporary transformation and build a landmark Pavilion as a center for street market, music festivals, product launch, cultural activities, etc.
