"FW JI" conveys a concept of space and time. Fengwu refers to a specific place and memory, grounded in local practices and sustained cultivation. Ji represents the flowing seasons and time, connecting villages and the land, embodying the ever-changing nature and the continuous expansion of new possibilities in rural areas. Starting from the specific place of Fengwu Village, the design aims to activate numerous possibilities in the countryside.
The second season of Fengwu season extends from the construction inside to the construction outside, from the improvement of architectural space to the construction of rural memory and village culture. Through the rural memory exhibition, Fengwu season documentary, village visual guide upgrade, infrastructure design improvement, memory map, etc., Fengwu is tailored to create an overall image with high cultural recognition, further strengthening the villagers' sense of belonging, and then calling more people to pay attention to Fengwu and the current Chinese countryside.
The project adopted a "co-creation x implementation" model. Co-creation, supported by the foundation, involved collaborative efforts to achieve urban-rural integration and community participation. Domain experts and professionals were invited as mentors to guide young practitioners in the practical implementation of projects to enhance village life. The implementation phase, supported by the government, focused on improving the quality of life in villages through acupuncture-like interventions in public spaces, visual branding, artistic infrastructure development, cultural empowerment through surrounding creative products, thematic exhibitions, and visual displays in the village.
