Pocket space lies where an alley meets a street. Messy and trivial, yet it matters to those who live here. Zhongshan St. is a mixed-use commercial and residential area in downtown Lishui, and is surviving in the trend of rapid urbanization. With limited budget, the concept of “pavilion of wind and rain” is reintroduced into pocket spaces by a marriage with public art, to revitalize the streetscape and retain the historic urban fabric. The vernacular cultural symbols are reinterpreted and transformed by an abstract language, inspiring nostalgia as well as making these spaces small open-air art galleries.
