In response to the issues of abandoned rural traditional dwellings and the serious problems of the left-behind children’s education, a joint team of architects, engineers, educators and social workers renovated and transformed an abandoned traditional house in Wanjian Village into a children’s library. The project aims not only to meet the demands for various education activities for left-behind children, but also to explore and demonstrate a feasible way for the revitalization and utilization of abandoned rural traditional dwellings towards a sustainable development of rural communities.
