From “Renovate the old as new” to “make the new as old”
In today’s urban renewal, we are confronted with more and more non-new projects. We found that a lot of renovation projects in the city are not buildings of historical value being shown in the media, but more often are abandoned buildings being built during new China decades mass city urban construction. The buildings are abandoned not because they are old, but they are too new. That is to say, they are in lack of consideration about the history of the site in design, but completely went to the imaginary novel. Therefore, they could not adapt to the local development and space aesthetic requirements and eventually became abandoned. To confront with these normal and recent renovation projects, the traditional “renovate the old as new” design method no longer work.
As a brand leading contemporary tea drinking trend in China, Heytea has been improving itself through continuous transformation and upgrade. Shenzhen Super Normal Design was entrusted by the brand to create a new Heytea store in Chongqing City. As working on this project, the designers broke with the convention of store design, which is usually too dependent on commercial logic. In contrast, they spent plenty of time visiting and investigating the local culture, history and customs, and then incorporated their thoughts gained in this process into the design. By adopting such a design approach, Super Normal intends to work with Heytea to create a series of stores under a “Normal City” Program. With the implementation of the Program, Super Normal has created diverse Heytea stores throughout many Chinese cities, the design of which all responds to local context. Each time after the designers looked into the urban fabric and locals’ life in those cities, they could figure out interesting and locality-responsive design languages to interpret every store. This Heytea store set in Chongqing is a good example.
