每座城市都有大量住宅楼， 这些建筑本身总是均质、乏味、千篇一律， 然而在其中生活的人们用来打破乏味的手段却是多种多样的， 这些差异不仅反映在城市之间， 也在不同的微观区域环境中。 行走在成都寻常的街道上， 我们发现居住建筑原本缺乏表情的立面已被鲜活的生活场景占据， 为了实现这些场景的设置， 居民们巧妙地利用已有的建筑构件与空间， 并自行建造许多有趣的装置， 体现出在极具限制的场地条件下， 实现绿色而舒适的居住环境的生活智慧。

在街头调研中, 我们总共收集到308个立面局部的样本， 本卷收录的实例从这些样本中挑选而出， 但是隐去了每个案例中的故事， 不做分类， 也不加文字和分析图， 以照片和编号的方式呈现， 不去限制参观者在读图时属于自己的发现。

Located on a ordinary site of the city, I was inspired by an wierd condition of space occupation, there’s green area within the site but it ownership was from outside. So we’re

designing something the user of the complex cannot used.

This stimulated us to invent brand new layout and new relationship among the appartment, the market and the residential buildings.

Just like the reflection of the grass on the stainless glass celing of the market, the living in both appartment and the residential area were projected into each other.
