In history, Shunde is famous for its water village culture with dense water networks and a beautiful fish-pond system. After the reform and opening-up policy in 1978, the manufacturing industry is rapidly developed in Shunde. Followed by that, the water village culture is gradually declining. Instead, a large number of factories are scattered in the whole district, which results in severe water problems. Now it is the phase of industrial transformation. This project proposes water resilience strategies and industrial transformation strategies to guide future development in Shunde. It starts from the analysis of existing water management, the relationship between the industrial area and water problem points and the existing condition of the industrial area. Then by doing design exploration, it explores possibilities for water resilient industrial transformation. This project not only provides the possibility of regenerating the industrial area, keeping industrial memory but also improves the water capacity and reshapes the relationship between people and nature.
