宝鸡市金台区“西府里”文化艺术村这个项目和以往我主持设计的很多项目不同，它的生命力和有可能的持续生存状态引起了我浓厚的兴趣。历时四年，经历了“新冠”高峰期，在区政府、街道办、村委会、原住村民、经营方、艺术家、民俗收藏家、餐饮经营者等等的共同推动下，在原有的“新农村”（这个词是中国特有的名词，是一个时代的现象缩影）基础上，逐步呈现了一个完全崭新的面貌。

The Project of “Xifu Native Town” Culture and Art Village in Jintai District of Baoji City is very different from many other projects that I have led and designed in the past. The village’s vitality and the possible sustainable existentiality fascinates me. This project lasted four years and endured the peak time of the Covid-19 pandemic in China. Promoted jointly by the district government, local street office, village committee, native villagers, operators, artists, folk article collectors, and catering operators, and built on the base of the previous “New Village” (an expression with Chinese characteristics, an epitome of the phenomenon for an era), this place gradually presents a brand new look.

无意中迎合了十九大提出的“乡村振兴”这一概念（项目设计启动时间是 2017 年，早于十九大之前）。它是一个典型的“乡村振兴”之路的第一条路——城乡融合之路的案例。虽然最终案名的确立有着非常重的商业意图——“西府里”，又或是经营方有着最基本的初衷——为了隔壁的商业街做些商业业态的补充，但其最终呈现出来的状态，却不可否认的成为了城乡融合发展的典型案例。

This project happened to fit the concept of the “rural revitalization” proposed on the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (the project design started in 2017, which was before the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China launched this initiative). It is a typical case that shows the first path to rural revitalization, that is to integrate the urban and rural areas. Its final case name “Xifu Native Town” does express a great amount of commercial ambition, and the operation team’s initial intention is to make some complement to the commercial activities for the neighboring commercial street. But somehow, the final state delivered has undoubtedly made the project a typical case of the urban-rural integrated development.
