This project is a scientific practice focusing on environmental adaptation, identity construction, cultural inheritance, and future envisioning. We have extracted four sets of palettes imbued with Kashgar's color genes: "Populus Euphratica Gold, Terracotta Red, Glacier Green, and Clear Sky Blue," and established an urban spatial color imagery featuring "Golden Warm Sands and Turquoise Starlight." In the renewal of five key streets, we designed climate-adapted street color schemes, shaping urban spaces with colors and narrating Kashgar's story of sunshine, sandstorms, history, and future.
