In recent years, research on renovation methods has emerged one after another. This paper discusses the methods and contents of the renovation and renewal of historical blocks from the five senses of human beings and applies the five-sense design method to the renovation and renewal of Shichahai District, Beijing, thus exploring the renovation and renewal methods of historical blocks.展开更多
