Qingdao Textile Valley is an urban expansion and renewal project. The design for the expansion is developed with a deep understanding of the root of heritage, so as the new generation from the same root will carry on the legacy. Each building cluster is identified with a certain façade aesthetic that is inspired by the textile techniques such as pleating, draping, weaving and paper patterning. They are stitched together as a whole design integration. The new Textile Valley will enhance the branding value “The Usual Place, with a New Twist” and offer a destination to the city.
