After undergoing extensive urbanization in the past 30 years or so in China, the availability of land for new developments has progressively diminished, prompting a shift in urban development focus from urban expansion to adaptive urban rejuvenation. Situated in Guangdong Jiangmen's largest Industrial Park, Heshan Vocational College, formerly a furniture manufacturing plant, underwent a transformation project encompassing nearly 100,000 square meters of existing industrial structures into a forward-looking vocational and technical institution. Emphasizing open, artful spaces and humanistic considerations, the revitalization project aimed to creatively overcome constraints and enhance function, structure, ventilation, lighting, and public space quality.
