Shiyan, where the Dongfeng Motor is based, is the site for this past Utopian auto town. For this city, the restoration and renewal of the 1970’s and 80’s town center and factory buildings are relevant to the current inhabitants. The aim is to rediscover the historical “Dongfeng Hometown”, preserving many Bauhaus like historic communal structures, and to create public spaces and walkways which links them in an re-emergence of a series of public space and communal life.
