Chengdu just dropped a cultural mic! The Longxing Temple Urban Renewal Project in Pengzhou snagged the Popular Choice Award at the 2025 Architizer A+Awards – aka the ‘Oscars of Architecture’. 🎉 This isn’t your grandma’s temple renovation: think AI-powered construction meets 1,000-year-old Sichuan charm.
Once a crumbling neighborhood, the site now fuses ancient wooden carvings with prefab steel and real-time BIM tech. Shoutout to the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design and China State Construction Third Engineering Bureau for turning history into a sustainable blueprint. 💡 From AI monitoring systems to heritage-inspired courtyards, it’s like ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ met a Qing dynasty scroll painting.
Dubbed a national pilot project, Longxing Temple proves cities can level up without erasing their roots. As one judge noted: ‘This is how you build futures that remember their past.’ 🌆✨
