Based on Tschumi's perception of space, the Space have three different relationships. Reciprocity, Indifference, and Conflict. These three relationships constantly influence and interact with each other. In this project of Hong En temple, the new interventions should express these relationships, the programs will be reciprocity with each other, indifferent with each other and conflict each other. The function no longer defines the space or architecture, according to Tschumi's theory, this project of Hong En temple, try to illustrate and explore the possibilities of the space within a historical site in Beijing. As well as searching the and exploring the impact of these disjunctions, try to look for an answer to the contemporary Chinese urban built environment through space, events, and movements. Among these uncertainties of relationships of space, is Tschumi's method is a way to solve the problems? During the design process, to utilize Tschumi's methodology to design project, I need a Concept to materialize the method, because all of Tschumi's methods of design is just a method, without an actual concept to concretize the method, we couldn't design anything from that methodology. It will just float in the air, no matter what we do is just copying Tschumi's design. But only if we find a concept, we could materialize that concept, by using Tschumi's methodology to do so. In that case, this project " When I was here" is a materialization of the concept of " Desire," in contemporary society, no other than the unaware of desire caused this massive urbanization in China, which is destroying our city, our villages and our society. How to reintroduce the concept of desire through this Hong En temple project is the objective of it. ¬¬

The site map present the current site masterplan and the surronding urban environment, Figure grounds around the site tell us this is a typical Beijing Hu-tong area within old town of Beijing. The Beijing Central axis cross through the Hong En temple site, also is the end point of Beijing Central axis during the Ming Dynasty. The high density within this urban environment caused many problems currently. Also, this situation indirectly causing the Beijing government launched urban environment governing movement recently. The grid is difiend by central axis of Beijing, fomr the axis, offsite 10m both towards east and west, the grid system is generated and applied on the site map. By apply the 10m by 10m grid, it will help to navigate ourself around this chaotic area. and by place a notation each 20m. a series of interesting points could be identified from the grid system.

The reason of only have four senses in this project is the fifth sense the Touch_Body is direct relate to architecture, so in this case, the architecture always embraces other senses. The whole project becomes the sense of touch which is the organ of the body. Another critical issue of this planning is, the expression of senses and its relationships in Buddhism also have multiple layers. From the explanation of Buddhism, these senses are always related to possession, comparison, and competition. From the diagram above, we could see they all interact with each other, each program will interact with other two programs which next to it. This planning of the plan is showing this expression of senses as well. The architectural designed should always have this relationship, it creates the interacting zones, we shall call it transition/buffer zones, that in these buffer zones, people will engage both senses from two programs they interacted. These buffer zones architecturally should represent both program's characteristics.

Site
Contemporary Chinese built environment is burrently facing multiple issues, due to the madeness urbanization process in last 30 years, urban and rural both revealed a fragmental morphology. This morphology is embodied a concentrated reflection in some megacities, such as Beijing and Shanghai which modern skyscrapers and traditional/native architecture are sharing the same cultural and social environments. Recently, the Beijing local government launched an urban environment governance movement, targeted most of Beijing Hu-tong courtyards within the old town (within the second Ring road areas). After the cleaning and remediation, the old city of Beijing became neat and clean as other recently built housing communities. But the discussion in here is, are the people live in the old city require that remediation? Or the remediation process is wiping out Beijing old town's urban life? Just like all the last decades, urbanizations occurred in other cities in China? The question in this brief is how contemporary Chinese architect should response to the homogenization of our urban built environment. What is the role of architecture should play in this process?
If the site includes Bell Tower Plaza is approximately 6200 m2. Temple is approximately 3300 m2.

Hong En Temple. The site loated near one of the most historical site at Beijing old town, Bell Tower and Drum Tower. Both towers were few traditional towers that Beijing kept. The function of these towers gives a correct time to citizens. Both towers were built around 1420, and now they are heritage listed. The Hong En Temple, on the north of Bell and Drum towers was an aged care place for eunuch during Qing dynasty. The temple has been through a dramatic transformation during the last 100 years. A factory was installed into the temple during the 1960s, due to social and political environment changes. A market and some commercial projects were built within this site from the 1980s until 2010s. The most exciting thing on this site is every installation or addition on this site were selforganized and were informally constructed. Before the environment governance occurred in 2016. The Hong En temple is a free, open, unorthodox, diverse and inclusive commercial complex, it represents an actual experience/feeling of old Beijing urban culture. Each class in society will find their location on this site. The site illustrates a Chinese regional social and cultural phenomenon.
