The 2024 Adaptive Reuse Design Competition is asking all participants to adaptively reuse the existing Nippon building to enable residential or mixed-use usage in Fresno’s Chinatown. All designs will need to highlight sustainability through heat island mitigation, decarbonization, and social infrastructure strategies. The historic background of the building and neighborhood shall be considered in the design. The design needs to include the needs of the aging population and be adapted for accessibility.
