This open international competition is to take place among three groups who have been solicited to draw up refurbishment plans of 12 courtyards. Finalists whose plans comply with the design guidelines and have construction feasibility will be authorized by the organizers to implement the project and the plans will be made available for reference in the Baitasi district, the broader old-town districts of Beijing, and in old towns throughout China that need to be revitalized. Design Requirements Based on their knowledge of infrastructure requirements, real-life needs, and the communal context of the Baitasi neighborhood, one courtyard in three groups will be selected for project implementation. Competition proposals must abide by the design requirements; however, the competition encourages participants to conduct extensive research and propose creative, imaginative plans. Baitasi (the White Pagoda Temple) is a historical and cultural preservation zone covering about 37 hm2 located just across Beijing's Financial Street in Xicheng district. To its north is the Xizhimen business district and to its west is the Fuchengmen commercial area and the Sanlihe administrative district. The Xidan and Xisi shopping areas border the temple to its east. Baitasi remains a peaceful cultural oasis for the public in the heart of new Beijing. Baitasi is located in an old low-rise residential district of Beijing, one of the last remaining traditional residential areas in the capital. Currently, options are being explored to provide an alternative path for urban renovation and community revival. With societal advancements, people have realized that standard large-scale demolition and construction of Beijing's urban core is no longer viable. In its stead, small-scale, organic renovation models are attracting greater attention and use. The main objective of the Beijing Huarong Jinying Investment & Development Company's "Baitasi ReMade" project is to establish a new model for local residents with the aid of public participation and model enterprises and government leadership. It hopes to establish a sustainable population, revitalize the physical spaces, upgrade to basic energy sources, and re-engineer the public environment, thus fostering a cultural revitalization of the region as a whole. While maintaining the unique character of Hutong neighborhoods and the residential functions of traditional courtyards, "Baitasi ReMade" will inject new elements of design as well as cultural and creative models to create a new cultural district comprehensively integrating tradition, innovation, and style. Assessment Process Assessment takes place in two rounds: Round 1 Initial selection: According to the judges' score sheets, high-scoring finalists are selected. Eight finalists are selected from each group. Round 2 Final selection: Selection of prizewinners by judges for the first place in each group based on videos submitted by the groups and a live Q&A session. Prizes First place winners selected from each group will receive a cash prize of RMB 50,000 and an award certificate; their works will be published in World Architecture. Implementation of Works Finalists whose works comply with the design guidelines and demonstrate construction feasibility will be authorized by the organizers to implement the project.
