龙江老街改造丨中国佛山丨竖梁社Atelier cnS

自 2021 年起，竖梁社扎根顺德区龙江镇，全力开展深度城镇更新工作。顺德区多数地区城市化滞后于工业化，龙江镇亦是如此。老城区因大量人口外流，建筑使用与维护近乎停滞，老建筑日益老化；而城区外的郊区，鱼塘与田野连绵不断，整个城镇的空间资源存在空置浪费问题。

Since 2021, Atelier cnS has been deeply engaged in urban renewal efforts in Longjiang Town, Shunde District. In many areas of Shunde, urbanization has lagged behind industrialization and Longjiang Town is no exception. As large numbers of people have moved away from the old town, the use and maintenance of its buildings have nearly come to a halt, leading to increasing deterioration. Meanwhile, in the suburban areas beyond the town, vast expanses of fish ponds and fields remain underutilized, resulting in wasted spatial resources.

对于当地居民，现有的文娱设施难以满足其精神文化需求。我们期望通过长期、深入且系统的城镇更新，打造多样化的文娱活动：老人能在老城区回首往昔岁月；儿童可在郊外田野亲近自然；中青年在工作之余，除了享受快消娱乐，还能获得更多精神上的放松。

For local residents, existing cultural and entertainment facilities have failed to meet their needs. We aim to carry out long-term, in-depth and systematic urban renewal to create diverse cultural and recreational activities: elderly residents can reminisce about the past in the old town; children can explore and connect with nature in the rural fields; and working-age adults, beyond consuming fast entertainment, can find deeper mental relaxation.

怀揣着这样的愿景，经过数年的努力，竖梁社在龙江镇的各个角落，播下了几颗充满希望的 “种子”。▼龙江镇深层次城镇更新计划，The Deep Urban Renewal Plan for Longjiang Town©竖梁社

With this vision in mind, after years of effort, Atelier cnS has planted the seeds of hope in various corners of Longjiang Town.

龙江老街

Longjiang Old Street

龙江是岭南农商文化的发源地之一，桑基鱼塘造就了「两龙文化」，是广府文化的重要组成部分，明清时期出产的丝织品畅销海内外。龙江老街是龙江的发源地，来自中原的人们最早定居于锦屏山与鲤鱼岗附近，在老街附近开始繁衍生息，逐渐壮大。

Longjiang is one of the birthplaces of Lingnan’s agricultural and commercial culture. The local “Mulberry-dyke Fish Pond” has shaped the “Two Dragon Culture,” which is an essential part of Cantonese heritage. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Longjiang’s silk products were exported worldwide. Longjiang Old Street marks the town’s origins—early settlers from the Central Plains first settled near Jinping Mountain and Liyu Hill, gradually expanding into a thriving community.

龙江老街改造计划

The Transformation Plan for Longjiang Old Street

清末民初是工业资本快速积累的时期，大光明碾米厂是龙江及周边地区重要的粮食供应点，龙江老街一带也逐渐形成了深厚的市集文化。时间慢慢过去，龙江的城市中心转移，原有的商街成了“老街”。

The late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period marked a time of rapid industrial capital accumulation. The Daguangming Rice Mill served as a crucial grain supplier for Longjiang and surrounding areas, helping establish a strong market culture in the old street district. Over time, as the town’s commercial center shifted, the once-bustling marketplace has turned into the “old street” of today.

为了唤醒这个岭南商镇，我们对整个龙江老街区域提出了综合提升的计划。除了生活服务设施的提升，我们针对老街原有记忆点，提出置入特色业态、优化景观、制造历史记忆打卡点等措施，希望通过挖掘和演绎老街的深厚历史底蕴，提高环境品质，让老街以一个「宜居宜游」的新角色重新拼入城市发展的拼图中。

To reawaken the spirit of this historic Lingnan market town, we have developed a comprehensive revitalization plan for the Longjiang Old Street area. Beyond upgrading essential infrastructure, our approach focuses on preserving cultural landmarks, introducing distinctive business formats, optimizing landscapes and creating historical memory check-in spots. By exploring and reinterpreting the profound historical heritage of the old street, we hope to enhance the quality of the environment and reintegrate the old street into the city’s development as a livable and tourist-friendly urban space.

粮油市场改造

Revitalizing the Grain, Feed and Grocery Market

龙江老街的改造是一个缓慢的「城市针灸」更新过程，我们选取粮油饲料副食综合市场作为启动区，整合空间发展新业态。位于人民南路的粮油饲料副食综合市场与河水相邻，自然人文交融，其市集文化成为当地市集文化的生动写照。建筑沿河而建，有保留完整、可租赁面积较多、记忆点鲜明等优势，但同时也面临着诸多改造和提升需求。

The transformation of Longjiang Old Street was a slow “urban acupuncture” process, starting with a pilot project: the renovation of the Grain, Feed and Grocery Market. Located on Renmin South Road and adjacent to a river, this market reflects the area’s rich market culture, blending natural and cultural elements. The buildings are constructed along the river, offering well-preserved structures, ample rental space and strong cultural significance. However, they also face several challenges that require renovation and enhancement.

可租赁区域主要位于场地内侧，直接面对外街的只有三个单元立面，作为市场的可识别性较差，需要重新定义场地，重塑市场记忆，使其重新成为人气聚集地。

The rental spaces are primarily located on the inner side of the site, with only three storefronts facing the main street. This makes the market less recognizable and harder to attract visitors. To revitalize the space and restore its identity, we aimed to redefine its layout and transform it into a vibrant gathering place once again.

复刻市集场所感

Reviving the Essence of the Market

入口处以标志性构筑物引入，主街两侧的建筑立面上有市集主题的大幅涂鸦，为整个市场奠定了活力新潮的基调。构筑物的设计来源于「牌楼」，加入了「招牌」元素，希望与场地原有的市集文化产生共鸣。

At the entrance, a distinctive architectural structure serves as a welcoming landmark. Large-scale market-themed murals adorn the facades of buildings on both sides of the main street, setting a vibrant and contemporary tone for the entire marketplace. The structure draws inspiration from “paifang” (a traditional Chinese ceremonial arch) and incorporates classic signage elements, aiming to resonate with the site’s original market culture.

涂鸦则是合作团队经过数次方案推敲，结合雨棚、店招、临时摊档、灯笼等商业元素与龙舟赛、生菜会等龙江当地风俗活动，创造的一副结合过去与未来的市集画卷。

The mural design was carefully developed by our team through multiple iterations, integrating awnings, signage, temporary stalls, lanterns and other commercial elements. It also incorporates local traditions such as dragon boat races and the Lettuce Festival, creating a market scene that seamlessly blends past and future.

首次去现场踏勘恰逢雨天，我们意外发现建筑首层有近 5 米的层高，可退的走道却不足 1 米——廊下空间高宽比达 5:1，这就导致二层及以上的外飘部分，在遮风挡雨上效果甚微。商铺偶尔搁置门口的杂物，更会打断步道，行人被迫上街淋雨。同时，各家店铺的门头风格各异，不少店家自主伸出雨棚，加上空中横亘的电线，虽说展现出市民生活的一种松弛生活状态，但却破坏了项目形象，对城市面貌也产生了不良影响。

During our initial site inspection, which happened to take place on a rainy day, we made an unexpected discovery: the ground floor of the buildings had a ceiling height of nearly 5 meters, but the covered walkway was less than 1 meter wide. This created a 5:1 height-to-width ratio for the sheltered space, meaning that the overhanging upper floors provided little protection from wind and rain. Additionally, shop owners often placed miscellaneous items outside their doors, disrupting the walkway and forcing pedestrians to step into the street and get wet. Furthermore, the storefront designs varied greatly, with many shopkeepers extending their own awnings and an array of overhead electrical wires crisscrossing the space. While this informal setup reflected the relaxed local lifestyle, it detracted from the project’s overall aesthetic and negatively impacted the urban streetscape.

在建筑首层，我们设计搭建了一座向外沿压低的雨棚。其一来能为行人遮风挡雨，二来提供了一条连贯的商业步道，使商铺空间得以向外拓展。雨棚向外沿压低，既满足了散水要求，又实现了空间尺度从内到外由高至矮的自然过渡。此外，雨棚上方加装了穿孔铝板，用于遮蔽首层商铺与二层租户的空调外机，同时对空中杂乱电线进行整理遮挡。雨棚外沿和钢柱位置还可统一安装店招，以满足商铺的展示需求。

On the ground floor, we designed a gently sloping canopy that extends outward. This serves two key purposes. One is to provide shelter for pedestrians against wind and rain. The other is to create a continuous commercial walkway, allowing shops to expand their frontage and engage more with passersby. The downward slope ensures proper drainage while also establishing a gradual transition from the tall indoor spaces to a more human-scaled outdoor environment. Additionally, perforated aluminum panels were installed above the canopy to conceal air conditioning units from the upper floors and organize cluttered overhead wiring. Signage can also be uniformly installed along the eaves of the canopy and at the steel column locations to meet the display needs of the shops.

我们搜寻当地历史图片，发现旧时沿街店铺会在门口支出顶棚争夺“地权”，也为前来消费的客人提供遮风挡雨的空间；而路边摊贩也会在小车上支盖顶篷，既保护物料，也让摊档有“归属感”。连绵不断的雨棚无意间形成一长条遮阳挡雨的廊下空间，行人络绎不绝。

▼传统市集中的雨棚和招牌，Awnings and Signage in Traditional Markets©竖梁社

We researched historical photos of the area and found that, in the past, storefronts would extend canopies over their entrances to claim “territory” while also providing shelter for customers. Similarly, street vendors would set up awnings over their carts, both to protect their goods and to create a sense of belonging for their stalls. Over time, these continuous canopies unintentionally formed a long and sheltered walkway, creating a vibrant and bustling space where pedestrians could move freely, rain or shine.

因此，粮油市场每栋建筑的首层都增加了一圈连续蓝色顶棚——钢管和铝板组合的雨棚，加上老式招牌，既是市集场景的还原，又能够为顾客带来实际的遮蔽作用，灰空间的半围合更是增强了场所感。

Therefore, a continuous blue canopy made of steel pipes and aluminum panels has been added to the ground floor of each building in the Grain, Feed and Grocery Market. Combined with vintage-style signage, this not only recreates the authentic market atmosphere but also provides shelter for customers. The semi-enclosed gray space further enhances place identity, making the market more inviting and immersive.

宽窄变化的雨棚提升了步行体验，雨棚变宽的部分自然地形成了店铺的外摆区，并且由这些雨棚围合出大小变化的院子，促进了各种公共活动的发生。

The varying widths of the canopies enhance the pedestrian experience, where widened sections naturally form outdoor seating areas for shops while enclosing courtyards of different sizes that facilitate various public activities.

在沿河区域，利用场地优势，活化沿河侧及埠头，增设观景台和景观雨棚；设沿河店铺，并巧妙结合连廊与沿街店铺打通，增强市场整体的可识别性。

Along the riverside, we leveraged the site’s unique advantages to revitalize the waterfront area and dock. This includes adding viewing platforms and landscape canopies, introducing riverside shops and seamlessly integrating covered walkways with street-facing storefronts. These improvements have significantly reinforced the market’s distinct identity and visual coherence.

在整个市场唯一的沿街面上，采用风貌协调的改造手法：二、三层立面上增加侧向招牌，并根据空调外机位置做窗套的遮蔽处理；屋顶增加阳台和围网，与雨棚形成呼应。

For the market’s only street-facing side, we adopted a harmonized renovation approach to enhance its visual appeal and functionality. This includes adding lateral signage on the second and third floors, installing window enclosures to conceal air conditioning units and introducing balconies and railings on the rooftop to create a cohesive aesthetic that complements the canopies below.

这些改造不仅是对市场建筑的技术升级，更是对市集文化的传承发扬。在这里，人们不仅仅是来购物，更能感受城市魅力和文化底蕴，共同见证龙江的发展与繁荣。

These improvements go beyond a mere upgrade upgrade—they are a tribute to the rich culture culture of the area. Here, people don’t just come to shop; they experience the charm and history of the city becoming part of Longjiang’s transformation transformation and prosperity.

市集文化的重建与共生

Rebuilding and Coexisting with Market Culture

曾经脏乱差的饲料市场，焕新成为一个开放式的街区，一个活力新潮的青年街区。通过项目改造，我们不仅仅在重建建筑，更是在重塑社区共生关系。市场不仅是商品交易场所，更是人们相聚交流、感受生活的重要空间。

The once chaotic and rundown feed market has been transformed into an open, dynamic and trendy urban district catering to a younger generation. Through this renovation project, we are not just reconstructing buildings—we are reshaping the community’s social fabric. The market is no longer just a place for trade; it is a vibrant hub for people to gather, connect and experience daily life.

对当地居民而言，龙江老街不仅仅是一个市场，更是他们生活的一部分，承载着他们的回忆和情感。对我们来说，市集文化的再生是一项挑战，也是一次机遇。我们希望能够唤起居民对老街的情感共鸣，让他们重新认识和关注这片土地，共同见证龙江的发展与变迁。传统与现代的交融，不仅仅是对历史的尊重，更是对城市发展的探索。

For local residents, Longjiang Old Street is more than just a marketplace—it is an integral part of their lives, carrying memories and emotions tied to the past. For us, revitalizing market culture is both a challenge and an opportunity. Our goal is to rekindle the emotional connection that residents have with this historic street, encouraging them to rediscover and engage with their surroundings while witnessing Longjiang’s ongoing transformation. The fusion of tradition and modernity is not just a way to honor history—it is an exploration of the city’s future.
