This project is located further outside of the city of Milan, amd appears as an abandoned building with either active outside area or the accessible interior space. The buildings on the surrounding blocks have the same height and the similar size which indicates that the renovation should respect the current condition in this area. The original building consists a factory with slope roof in the west and a five-story office building in the east. The renovation project is aimed at reforming the abandoned area in Milan by increasing the vitality of the whole block through reconstruction and redesign.The proposal of a multi-function community center can fulfill the need of the citizens living around and attract people who live far away. In the process, I used old-new contrast method and combined with the complexity of demanding.
