Personal work QuanZhou, FuJian province, China 2023 Sep. - Dec.（After Graduation）
Located in the southeast China, Quanzhou is a place where various types of religions have lived in harmony with the people for thousands of years, along with a variety of temples to the gods, including large and small religious altars of Buddhism, Islam, Catholicism, Christianity, and even Hinduism. In Quanzhou, divinity and humanity have reached a subtle integration, as sacrificial customs are still retained but do not greatly affect the local life. The construction of an activity space for the residents supports to fully integrate dual characteristics of Quanzhou’s humanity and divinity into the architecture. In this way, a new architectural space with strong local characteristics is created so as to realize a better integration of the physical and spiritual space of the future. Following the cultural path, the cultural customs of the local people are integrated into the architecture in the form of paths, especially into living buildings such as community service centers. It can better show the humanistic care of the building.
