Let the memory of the times shine again in urban renewal
2023-02-27
Recently, passengers who take the bus to Beijing Station have a common feeling that the old station has changed. The towering dome between the blue water lake and the peacock green is retro and elegant, and the ancient bronze gilded gold lamp is atmospheric and simple. The ruins of the Ming city wall and the arched window of the waiting room echo each other in the distance. From time to time, passengers stop to watch it, feeling "like entering the museum" and "beautiful like a painting". Looking back on the process of urban renewal in Beijing in recent years, the restoration of the old station is only a "corner of the landscape". The old factory building has been transformed into a fashion design square, the river channel reappears the ancient scenery of "water flowing through streets and courtyards", and the old street plays the millennium "echo" of the old camel's bell road... These updated cases have made the city's past imprint more impressive, and become a new landmark of the city. Facts have shown that the memory of the times is a valuable asset for the development of a city. As long as it is carefully dug and skillfully activated, it can fully glow and inject new vitality into the development of the city. The best protection for historical relics is reuse, and the best protection for urban memory is to make the best use of things and "live" better in a new way. In this sense, urban renewal is not new for the sake of new, but must be integrated into the evolution of urban functions. In different stages of urban development, people have different needs for architectural functions, and aesthetic purports are also quietly changing. Only to find the integration of contemporary architecture and modern life is the way to update and solve the problem. Let the memory of the times stay with us, and let the historical context survive in a more prominent way. Such a city will not only provide us with space for work and life, but also ignite more love and expectation. (Outlook New Era)
