The project site is in Chengdu's Jinjiang District, near historical landmarks like Niuwang Temple and Dianjiangtai. The East Avenue area, where it is situated, was historically Chengdu's bustling commercial center and gave rise to modern commercial hubs like Taikoo Li and Chunxi Road. Records show that Chengdu's commodity markets have evolved over the years to feature specialized and multifunctional street layouts that include workshops and markets. Among these, East Avenue best reflects the unique commercial culture and landscape of late Qing dynasty. The streets are described as having "spacious stores, exquisite windows, and various signs hanging from the eaves, creating a dazzling and brilliant spectacle," which effectively carries forward the tradition of superb commercial culture in the southwestern region dating back to the Tang and Song dynasties.

Faced with the dual urban demands of preserving history and fostering modern development, line+ has put forth the concept of "weaving urban textures and nurturing district coexistence" for the old city renewal.

On one hand, this involves harmonizing disparate architectural scales, seamlessly stitching the urban fabric, and fostering dialogue between the old and the new to achieve a symbiotic relationship between these contrasting urban districts. On the other hand, it entails blending traditional commercial spatial patterns with contemporary business formats, integrating traditional spatial experiences into new consumer settings, thus providing the city with a novel, mixed-use environment featuring diverse business formats. Leveraging historical and cultural symbols like Dianjiangtai and Jiazi, this project aims to create a significant cultural extension of Chengdu's "Eight Streets, Nine Alleys, and Ten Scenic Spots."

The design begins by introducing a main thoroughfare that runs east to west across the site, connecting the Inner Ring Road with Niuwang Temple North Street and Street Corner Gardens, serving as the inner interface open to the city. Additionally, in the east and west orientations facing the urban block, two corner plazas are created, linked by smaller-scale streets and lanes that align with both sides of the main street, thereby generating low-density urban blocks with traditional streets and lanes scale.

The commercial clusters within the urban block are composed of three fundamental unit blocks that interconnect, overlap, and enclose each other, forming courtyards of varying scales. These courtyards accommodate a variety of activities, including commercial operations, production workshops, and urban gathering spaces, innovatively preserving the compound characteristics of historic commercial streets and lanes.
