The comprehensive community block called West Zhengda Town is adjacent to Zhujiajiao Watertown Historic District, not far from Shanghai. The Watertown is famous for its texture based on the waterside and the traditional wooden structure architecture. Design is made to follow the texture and traditional model of space, but to use new material and technology. This community includes two parts, one is only for residence, the other is mix-used with residence and commerce. The goal is to create a new Water Town which can contain the modern life based on the local culture.
