Guizhou architectural renovation on show in Paris

The exhibition showcased the transformation process and current status of Maogong town, Huanggang Dong village and Baiyan Miao village through pictures, text and videos.

"If you want to revive the vitality of ancient villages, it is not enough to rely on buildings. Your design should be based on the lifestyles and customs of local residents," said Chen Guodong, founder of Mume Design. "It may be the reason our project can be exhibited at Design Week in Paris."
