Rather than imposing large-scale urban frameworks, Xu\u2019s work emphasizes subtle, site-specific gestures that reinforce existing identities and economies.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"floatbox\" href=\"https:\/\/archinect.gumlet.io\/uploads\/4a\/4a2ouiwwvkhjw9tb.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat\" title=\"Tofu Factory by DnA_Design and Architecture.
