BeiQing Experimental School Boundary Renovation / ELSE

October 11, 2023 July Shao 0

The campus is in a typical Chinese urban setting, surrounded by residential blocks mostly built in the early 2000s.

Due to changes in land use and road reconfiguration, the original main entrance will no longer be usable.
