　　K/R 北京前门鲜鱼口项目提案是一个线性的城中城，目的在于两个层次，其一，强化并刺激城市历史的南北轴线;其二，通过聚集整合相邻社区的当前功能和需求来重新界定胡同边界，并提倡通过以最小化的侵介，最大化恢复胡同肌理与文化本身。

　　空间和体验的多元化通过水域、绿地、公园、道路、政府用地及公共空间贯穿着老北京的南北轴。长度约为1.5公里的鲜鱼口基地将贯穿于周线中并串联成一条紧凑连贯且适宜步行的城市长廊。这条城市长廊以构筑景观的形式穿过基地，界于前门东侧路与鲜鱼口胡同街区，拟营造出承北启南的城市公共空间。将现代城市功能和社会服务设施融入景观，是把胡同生活过渡为当代城市生活的一种解读。此外，恢复历史水路和步道则为了强化胡同和线型城市长廊的有机关系。

　　城市住宅、公共空间与服务设施的引入是以最小化改变现有建筑形态为宗旨，保留鲜鱼口地区生活文化现状。通过文化项目和相关联、可延展的景观将胡同与现代都市化北京合为一体。本提案接受并呼吁保存胡同完整性，鼓励未来更新，从而使胡同本身继续功能于邻里。

　　K/R’s Beijing Qianmen Xian Yu Kou project is a linear city-within-a-city that functions on two levels: first, the proposal strengthens and invigorates the city's historic north-south axis; second, by aggregating the adjacent neighborhood's contemporary functional and social requirements the edge of the existing historic Xian Yu Kou hutong, the proposal allows for minimal intrusion and maximal restoration of the hutong itself.

　　The diversity of spaces and experiences that run approximately 1.5 kilometers through historic Beijing - lakes, green spaces, public spaces, parks, roadways, and governmental terrain – suggest a continuous, walkable urban promenade along the major north-south axis that also threads through Xian Yu Kou. This urban promenade takes the form of a tectonic landscape that passes through and along the site, bordering the western edge of the hutong along Qianmen Dong Road, thereby connecting the neighborhood to a larger urban chain of public space. Incorporated into this landscape is a series of contemporary functional and social services and amenities that transform the adjacent hutong into a model of contemporary urban life. In addition, restoration of historic waterways and walkways strengthens the urban relationship between the hutong and the linear urban promenade.

　　The introduction of additional housing, public park space, and social services are seen as a way to preserve the life and existence of Xian Yu Kou with minimal architectural intervention to the neighborhood itself. As part of a larger urban vector, it literally unites the hutong to Greater Beijing through a host of cultural programming and a linked and expandable landscape. This strategy accepts the hutong as is and calls for keeping the it intact, encouraging future renovation and restoration, thus allowing it to continue to function as a neighborhood, much the same way that the Xian Yu Kou neighborhood thrives to the east of Cao Chang San Tiao Road.
