Old Theatre Cultural Park in Xiamen

Abstract

The Xiamen Old Theatre Cultural Park is a new public space that integrates culture, recreation, and wellness. The cultural park was transformed from the former Lujiang Theatre, a place of memory for many local residents. However, the theatre had fallen into disrepair after years of neglect. The new project enriched the space by drawing on historical experiences of place, as well as the current decay of the structure, combining both time, space, and scale. The new space is a spiritual inheritance of the old site while facilitating interaction among current residents.
