![DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrustSeedGrant research project “The Morphing Origin: Nantou” constructs a critical survey of the live transformation taking place at Nantou Old Town, the sui generis sample of a living historical origin for Shenzhen and other cities in the Greater Bay Area region. While noted by its status as the administrative center of the vast Dongguan Province for centuries, the 3.5 sq. km walled city Nantou has also evolved into a densely populated urban village with more than 30,000 residents. The constant state of evolution marks it as an intriguing, contested site for investigations on urban regeneration at different scales.
By mapping design interventions and social dynamics with analytical documentation as a rare case of urban morphology, Design Trust grantees He Liu and Zuo Long have archived sixteen design proposals for the self-built ‘village’ buildings designed by MVRDV, Atelier FCJZ, URBANUS, PAO, among others, capturing the fast-developing high-profile urban regeneration processes. The research has informed the exhibition “Nantou Odyssey”curated by grantee He Liu that opened in August 2020 in Nantou, Shenzhen, creating a dialogue with a wider audience on the past and future of Nantou. The exhibition is now on view until 30 December 2022 at the Info Center of Nantou Old Town (2 Zhongshan West Road), Shenzhen.
