2. “Ghost Street” Beijing, China Located in an urban area defined by a large concentration of international government embassies and adjacent to the Beijing Workers' Stadium, this district of the city is home to approximately 250,000 foreign residents. It has become a favorite spot for both western and local style nightlife in Beijing. The narrow streets and alleys of this neighborhood host an array of indigenous small, street front bars, cafes and retail stores creating a pedestrian friendly environment. The colloquial endearment for late-night entertainment seekers is translated as “ghosts”. The development plan is organized around six three-level retail buildings with a variety of outdoor garden courts between. Shops, restaurants and bars front the street and court spaces directly, encouraging activity to spill out of the storefronts and into the public realm. Circulation to upper levels is via a series of broad outdoor stairs that lead to intimate terraces overlooking the street below. Above the restaurants and retail are three single-loaded, twelve-story office buildings. Folded glass curtain walls with office circulation behind add further animation to the (east) entertainment street-alley side of the site.
