Abstract：In the 2022 graduation design of Tongji University, the teaching group chooses Century Square in Pudong New District of Shanghai as the object. Through the densification and reconstitution, the team carried out a teaching experiment aiming at the transformation of the space from rituality to daily life for contemporary China’s new cities. Using the morpho-typological operation tool and aiming at the spatial problems of the Century Square, such as formal emptiness, scale imbalance and lack of vitality, the team attempts to experiment a re-urbanizing process for Century Square and its surrounding areas from three different scales: spatial structure, urban blocks and architectural design, in order to create a variety of spaces with clear structure, friendly scale and mixed functions. Century Square could be transformed from an urban graph controlled by ritual elite buildings into a real urban core of high density, high diversity and daily life.
