the design team of bluestar pays much attention to the urban renewal of lianyungang, especially the design and transformation of negative space in urban areas. the main creator of the team was attracted by the vicissitudes of the railway bridges and the sense of dislocation when he passed these bridges. through field inspections and data searching, he tried to divide the deck space of the bridges into exhibition space, passage space and living space by using intervention design methods according to the shape of the bridges. the exhibition space provides the residents in surrounding cities with a place for memories, while the living space provides them with a place for communication and entertainment. the original appearance of the railway bridges is left as they were and the space of the railway bridges is activated. this design concept was finally approbated by expert judges.
