This design competition aims to create a Small Wild Goose Pagoda Historical and Cultural Area that integrates the inheritance of historical culture, the fusion of modern urban functions, and urban climate adaptability. The goal is to provide citizens and visitors with a public cultural and leisure area where they can immerse themselves in the charm of history, experience the new vitality of the city, and enjoy a comfortable spatial environment. The objectives are to “inherit historical culture, showcase the new look of the city, enhance regional vitality, promote integrated development, and create a livable environment.” This will ensure the continuation and promotion of the cultural values carried by the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, allowing this area to rejuvenate and thrive in the new era. It will become an important window for showcasing the charm of Xi’an and coordinate and promote development with surrounding buildings and regional functions, driving the sustainable development and renewal of the entire urban area.

Small Wild Goose Pagoda Historical and Cultural Area is comprehensively designed and carefully planned in multiple aspects. The area not only focuses on the protection and inheritance of historical and cultural relics such as the Small Wild Goose Pagoda but also, in specific planning, integrates the design of the area’s buildings and environment to harmonize with the surrounding land’s appearance. It constructs a complete transportation system and green space system to improve the urban ecological environment, rationally lays out functions to integrate the cultural and leisure needs of modern cities, and combines urban climate adaptability design concepts to create comfortable and pleasant public spaces and building environments. This will make it an important showcase for Xi’an’s urban image and an important carrier for cultural inheritance in the new era, forming a good interaction and coordinated development trend with the surrounding areas.
