GHF will support the design of a master plan for each village created in partnership with Shanghai Tongi University and Pekin University.

Shitang Village Internet Conference Centre: the practice of rural architecture in the new era. The trend of modernization and urbanization in rural development inevitably requires the introduction of new types of functions.
As multi-functional buildings with large space, the Internet conference center is one of them. Taking the commune auditorium and the vegetable greenhouse as the original form, Shitang Village Project in Jiangning tries to reconstruct public buildings in a rural context. Efforts have been made to rapidly build a system through industrialization, bringing in the technology of pre-fabricated super slender column structure, selectively applying suitable technology to eliminate the existence of weakened and materialized buildings and restoring the primitive feeling of rural villages, hence having conducted a rejuvenated construction practice in an extremely short construction period of time in rural villages. Big houses in traditional Chinese countryside are rarely seen.
“The Internet conference center”is a new functional type in the countryside. Guizhou Project: ‘Across Chinese Cities’ - The Object Spaces and Rituals of the Collective, Venice Biennale 2018. Situated in a small valley at the top of a mountain ridge, Dali village is home to a Dong ethnic group whose local history can be traced back to the early Ming dynasty approximately six hundred years ago.
The village is in Qingdongnan, at the south-east corner of Guizhou province. In this area, the mountainous and difficult terrain has allowed various ethnic groups to settle in sites that have allowed communities to maintain a degree of cultural autonomy and isolation. The Dong people’s primary cultural markers are their spoken language, handmade textiles and dress specifically to their community, an ethereal style of chorus singing, and chuān dòu (穿斗) style timber architecture. In the spring of 2016, a road was completed that linked Dali up to a new regional network of infrastructure aimed at economic development and growing the eco-tourism sector. China Design Centre.
