The Da Zha Lan Project

According to the Investigation of Urban Corners in Beijing published in July 2005 by Beijing Social Science Institute, the density of population in Da Zha Lan reaches 4,5000 heads per square kilometer. It' s extremely crowded and there are too many old houses in danger. The hidden alarm of fire is severe and there is inadequate supply of water and electricity. Conditions of hygiene are appalling and public security is chaotic. There is an overflow of faked products and a high number of immigrants. Their daily living expenses are less than RMB 8. Da Zha Lan area has become a typical slum.

The Da Zha Lan Project has appointed the area of Da Zha Lan as a case study, which focuses on the historical and cultural development, poverty level, social organization, street level architecture and humanist ecology in this region. We have adopted a collective working system as we recruit volunteers to participate in the research and filming, conducting workshops. We will conclude our work with a documentary, a publication and a website, which will be featured in the ZKM in Germany in May 2006.
