Hello everyone, I’m Li Xiang, but you can also call me Lucius.

I come from China and earned my undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture from Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology. Afterwards, I gained several years of professional experience at an architectural design firm in Shanghai. Fueled by my passion for architecture, I pursued a Master's degree in Architecture and Adaptive Reuse, focusing on how historic buildings can be revitalized and given new life.

I am excited to collaborate with The Grange. @TheGrange in Blackpool is a large community hub located on the Grange Park estate. Our project will involve transforming the existing indoor spaces while ensuring a thoughtful connection with the outdoor garden. I believe my diverse academic and professional background will contribute unique perspectives to this project.

@TheGrange in Blackpool is a large community hub on the Grange Park estate. It has been highlighted as a centre of best practice for engaging local residents in wellbeing activity through the support provided by
the team at Groundwork.
The site includes a library, café, theatre, community farm, free to use laundrette and various meeting rooms.
Space is now at capacity and in order to deliver more activities for community benefit we want to look at reimaging underused spaces. This would include:

1) Redesigning the complex toilets and storage spaces to improve the quality of toilet facilities and create more functional community space.

2)Redesigning the open public spaces within the building providing a better flow and bringing the outdoors in. This would include design options to create a mixed library and café space and reimaging the outdoor patio space.
