The site is located in Wuhan, China. Wuhan is a city famous for its water culture, and its superior geographical conditions have made Wuhan one of the most important port cities in China since ancient times. At the same time, the developed economy made a large number of migrant workers poured into Wuhan. A large part of them come to Wuhan wharf to earn a living. This makes the population composition of Wuhan complex.

In this project, I want to create an open space which can be used equally by different people in Wuhan. I select two groups of people with different needs for water along the Yangtze River and analysis the daily activity of them.

I set two types of buildings in the site-- the bathing place and the wharf, serving different groups along the river. There are also some buildings which can be used by all people, such as restaurants, exhibition halls. Different kinds of peopl in the city can just coexist in this place without disturbing each other.
