This project aims at establishing a connection between residential buildings , thus bridging relationship between people.This idea is inspired by the morphology of the cell and thetransportation of chloroplast. It is an attempt to make buildings affect people’s lifestyle actively. 9

The site is located in a community with lots of detached villas. Through an investigation, I find a problem of few communication among the community. To solve the problem,the project aims at creating attractive outdoor open space for people’s activities.

Community Quiet but there is not enough public space
INVESTIGATION
Age of Residents
In the investigation, I found that the majority of residents are children and the old because of a great primary school there. Children who study in the school always live with their grandparents here in weakdays. In addition, according to a survey finished by the residents, attrctive and cozy out-door public space is in need. The place need to be suitable for activities of children and the old.

PROBLEM
In the region, there are only linear space -- roads and streets. Lack of open public space result in the problem
COMMUNICATION
Lock of among the ncommunicate
yard building
In the region, residents always do outdoor activities in their yards. Since they do not need to go to public places, they have less chances to get along with their neighbors.
SOLUTION 21
Focus on out-door public space. Set a green gentle slope and a central sunken square which can separately serve as auditurium and stage. 22
