OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The project uses water as the interface to generate multiple sections, echoing the village mode of Sleeping on Water in Taiping Book Town, and providing complete functions of Working, Living, Touring. By removing some of the old residential roads, and combing them to the river bank, the original street textures get linked.

The Library above the atrium visually leads the architecture group of the Literary Courtyard. Its vertical traffic becomes an extended corridor inside the building, which connects the entrance, exit and vertical flows, and weaves various scattered interior spaces.The new and old walls intersperse, blending newly introduced streamlines with historic buildings. CHALLENGE: One of the challenges set by similar areas around Taiping Ancient Town. There are many tourist towns around Suzhou, which will have a certain impact on the formation of Taiping Ancient Town. This also requires Taiping Ancient Town to be different from other ancient towns in planning and positioning. One of the challenges is the implementation. As the construction of Taiping Ancient Town has been in disrepair for a long time, the environmental quality has not been well protected. Future development and implementation will also cause difficulties.
