In China’s countryside, agricultural production is a critical part of a villager’s cultural identity, defining the activities of everyday life. However, this custom is often ignored in the redevelopment of the countryside, and even sometimes transformed to increase productivity. Rather than taking this totalitarian stance, the project proposes a framework that practices everyday life as a catalyst to revitalise the rural society. Taishan’s cultural identity could be understood by two dominant, yet very different, agricultural landscapes (traditional rice farming and eel farms). Utilising these two landscapes as main drivers, the project seeks to calibrate the primary agricultural industries and redistribute its growth towards secondary industries and tertiary tourism within the next 20 years. The project has been developed within the context of Harvard GSD.
