Tai Wai to Sha Tin Human Paath
When we travel to the Sha Tin from Tai Wai, there will be a special experience in there. Although Sha tin is a developed satellite city, it still keeps a lot of natural environment. This location is the junction area between Tai Wai and Sha Tin. There a human path and cycling path are along the Shing Mun River to the Sha Tin New Town Plaza. When we enter to this area, we could find some little egrets and birds are fishing in this area and there are a lot of landscape. After entering this area, the citizens seem to have entered the suburbs in th city. The people can relax easily. After this path, the people will enter to the Sha Tin New Town Plaza area. There are strong modern city feeling. It is a big difference with the before path.
SITE MODEL Shing Mun River
Bridge
Buildings
Bridge
Shing Mun River likes a mirror in the Sha Tin. It reflects two side buildings in the same place. And it also provides activity diversity to the people and animals.
Bridge is one of the features in Shing Mun River. It can connect two side activities and it also make differet patterns on the river.
Human buuildings like a wall to on the river two sides. It seems to protect the Shing Mun River.
The birds will use the human useless place to build their home. This seems to draw closer to the distance between human architecture and nature.

Thin Structure (Egret leg) To the egret, when they are fishing, they will use one leg stand on the water to hurt their target. From far away to see, it looks like a thin structure to support a big thing.
Group (Egret Family Group) Egrets glways group in one tree together. If find dangerous, they will notice the group.Therefore, they can have a good security.
DESIGN CONCEPT
EATING Egret is good at hurt the fish. When they are catching the fishes. They will focus on the one point and stand for a while to wait the fishes to come. Their eyes' structure help them to focus on the same point more like the above image. Unlike human, their view will expend their prey and make them catch them more easily.
DANCING Egret is a group living animal. Therefore, their nest will establish near with other egrets. In the breeding seasons, male egret will show their beautiful feathers and dance to female egret. Hope to attrect them. It likes human wear some beautiful clothes and dance to share with other people.
FEELING Not metter the egg or egret, they are also protected by the nest. Therefore, nest is very important to the egret. Therefore, the design hopes to provide a feeling that human likes enter to a big egret nest to feel.
