ONE//REPUBLIC COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, GSAPP A6853 ADVANCED ARCH STUDIO, SUMMER 2015 IN SERVICE OF: CULTURE OF SERVICE AT WORK AND PLAY STUDIO PROFESSOR: PHU HOANG DESIGNER: MUSO ZHE FAN SELECTED IN GSAPP’S [ABSTRACT] PUBLICATION
ONE // REPUBLIC - COWORKING & SCHOOL DESIGN In this project, the designer tries to discuss the essential question: What is the sharing economy’s boundary between the “work” performed by building services and the workers in the architectural program? If the technologically driven sharing economy is questioning the basis of an “ownership society,” how will building services—as well architecture—adapt and transform with it? The studio will advance arguments and designs for a “culture of service” that transforms and innovates with building services. The roles and boundaries of these radicalized building services will be manifested in new architectural organizations and forms.

RESEARCH // SHARING ECONOMY CHRONOLOGY
All the apps in the principles of sharing economy such as Airbnb, Wework and Uber, have changed our life greatly. By temporarily lending out their ownership of the properties, everyone becomes a “capitalist“.However, the benefits are enormous, it reorganizes the resources in the whole society, saves the energy and time, it’s the best example of win-win model. The temporariness and dynamic equilibrium of ownership are two important features of sharing economy. It re-defines people’s understanding of services, and in return, when designing the coworking spaces, how to achieve these two features are the key to a successful working environment in contemporary context. On the other hand, when we look through the history of the internet, we can find that actually it has already gone through 3 stages, the 1st stage is the release of information, the 2nd stage is the release of relationship, and now we are undergoing the 3rd stage of ownership, so we can’t help wondering what’s the next stage?

History shows us a clear clue of how capital flow lead to the social change and people’s perception of service. There are 3 different stages during the development of capitalism, at the beginning it is accumulated and centralised, and then this trend goes extreme into monopoly, nowadays, it is gradually becoming decentralized and dispersed. Efficiency is the key word for the capital driven period. So we invent Fordism, workers have only one direction, they all work towards the capital. When the capital is more dispersed and decentralized, workers will have more possibilities of directions, they are more likely to collaborate with the others to create a network.

RESEARCH // HOW DOES WORK CHANGE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF INTERNET The internet draws the world flat, the globalization makes the world more unified, correspondingly, the content of our daily work and even the form of our work have changed as well. Robots and machines liberate human being, so now our work are more about immaterial production, such as designing, analysing and making decision, instead of material production. In the meantime, the project is being parcellized, we could divide a job into small parcels and hand them over to different people to finish it. Even 4 people in different places could finish one project, then why do we need a big company to force these people sit together on the typical floor of an office building? The studio conducted an onsite experiment in “wework“ New York, as a research of the coworking space. We spent 4 weeks working in wework space, aiming to finish one building design with 3 other partners in China. Building design was divided into 4 parts in consideration of each one’s speciality, for example, Doris is the master of building cores. Everyone does their job individually, and each week record the project progress and everyone’s feeling in coworking space.

OPEN COWORKING ENVIRONMENT
NOLINAR EXPERIENCE OF USING SPACE Under the principles of fordism production, workers will have a specific working desk in a certain floor of a building. Everyday the worker go to that specific location and finish the specific job, and he never get the chance to use all the other parts of the building. Nowadays since the organization of the work/company has changed, our working environment should be non-linar and not so rigid as well. We encourage the workers form a task-based group/ company as they like and as they move. They could use different parts/function of this building as they need. This will challenge the people’s traditional way of understanding space and using space, which will maximise the potential of communication and creativity.

LIGHT SHAFT
SITE ANALYSIS // NEW YORK MIDTOWN FLARITON URBAN CONTEXT//MAKING USE OF LIGHT SHAFT Light Shaft is a very typical existence in New York blocks, which acts as the empty space introducing more light to the back side of the building. There are two empty spaces border the site limit, so we try to connect these two spaces which results in the cut in the volume. To strengthen this logic, we even buy the air rights from the bordering sites and add extra volume on top.

URBAN LOBBY // GROUNDFLOOR PLAN A building is never isolated from the urban life especially under nowaday sharing economy. The urban services such as Uber, Yelp, and all the delivery service such as Amazon or Instacart have already taken some part of the building services. Therefore the concept of URBAN LOBBY is very important for the new generation of coworking space, which works as a buffer zone connecting building service with the urban service.

DAY 1. CONCEPT Idea start from discussion with other members in coworking.
+27.00 m Mix Floor
The fluid circulation is not only reflected in section, but also plan. The shift in section enables the possibility of juxtaposing the coworking space with the dedicated offices in the same floor. Therefore there could have 4 basic typologies as listed above, whole floor of coworking space, whole floor of dedicated offices and mixed floor of corworking space and dedicated office with one in the front, the other just reversed. We encourage people in this building move to anywhere in the workplace as they like. In most cases, they follow the team’s needs, which is normally time-based, for example, using the meeting room on 2nd floor from 10am-11am, and then using the open office on 6th floor from 1pm-3pm. But sometimes, it may also move as a result of the team expansion.

SECTION INNOVATION // SERVICE Traditional floor slab normally work as the structural components, all the services such as pipes and wires are attached to this surface. By enlarging the floor slab, we could have an extra void space, which is enclosed by all the services. These spaces could have no windows, since they are more private and dedicated space supported by pure service, and these spaces are actually the service space for the open area coworking space. They are like hanging spaces providing service for the open coworking space. Furthermore, by shifting the two parts cut by the light shaft, we could have more types of connection. In addition, the spiral staircases and slopes across the service and coworking space will make the whole space more interesting and fluid.

INTERLOCKING [PROJECT INFORMATION] Scale: Urban Design Status: SC2013 Future Links-Urban Regeneration International Design Competition Site Location: Vigo, Galicia, Spain Site Area: 10,963 m2 In total Period: Oct 20 - Nov 22, 2013 Task: Old Town Regeneration The Bread Factory Complex, linked to the consolidated front of Street Alfonso XII, is a key part of the city, due to both its size and its location on top part of the old town. This extended area is a barrier that prevents the functional connection and permeability between the center and start point of the expansion of city from the City Hall. The opportunity to re-order the site and propose facilities for the citizens, makes possible to imagine that what currently is a spoiled island in the central area of the city, can turn into a rich leisure and services space which can serve as a link between historical elements and of new expansion; a meeting place for central city areas.
China has the similar area with Europe, but double of the population and half of the GDP number. However the social problems are dramatically different from each other. It's not just simply falling behind in terms of developing time. Understanding this difference is the key to this design task.

[HEAVY INDUSTRY TRANSFORMATION]
The 2008–2013 Spanish financial crisis began as part of the world Late-2000s financial crisis and continued as part of the European sovereign debt crisis, which has affected primarily the southern European states and Ireland. In Spain, the crisis was generated by long-term loans (commonly issued for 40 years), the building market crash, which included the bankruptcy of major companies, and a particularly severe increase in unemployment, which rose to 29.16% by April 2013

The current data for Spain show the share of the population aged 65+ to currently stand at 17%, equal to over 7 million people, of whom approximately 25% are aged over eighty. Furthermore, the projections suggest the over-65s will make up more than 30% of the population by 2050 (almost 13 million people), thus representing more than 30% of the total adult population. International foresight studies have produced even more pessimistic estimates and the United Nations projects that Spain will be the world’s oldest country in 2050, with 40% of its population aged over 60.

URBAN CONTEXT
The North Plot 3,633 sqm The Bread Factory Complex 7,330 sqm
When we analyse the surrounding urban context, we found our plot has great view and accessibility, therefore has a big potential to develop to a multifunction center. But contious urban frontage formed by original low-rise buildings are the things we need to keep.
The Bread Factory Complex, linked to the consolidated front of Street Alfonso XII, is a key part of the city, due to both its size and its location on top part of the old town. This extended area is a barrier that prevents the functional connection and permteability between the center and start point of the expansion of city from the City Hall. The opportunity to reorder the site and propose facilities for the citizens, makes possible to imagine that what currently is a spoiled island in the central area of the city, can turn into a rich leisure and services space which can serve as a link between historical elements and of new expansion; a meeting place for central city areas. The Bread Factory Complex has a plot area of 7,330 sqm with an irregular shape in which 4,300 sqm are occupied by a complex set of old industrial, commercial and housing buildings. The Upper Plot, is limited by the streets Santiago, Cachamuiña and Estreito alley, with a plot area of 3,633 sqm and a building area of 1,986 sqm.
We can also read from the context that our site has already had enough housing, but there's a lack of community service, especially medical care for the elder people. Moreover, there's not enough open space for gathering, events or even car parking, which is an irony for a city famous for car manufacture.

Existing condition shows that most of the Bread Factory buildings are seriously damaged, the structure components were broken and exposed to outside, so we suggest this part demolished, but the iconic tower is kept well and has it's unique architectural value, so we suggest reserve it as the memory of the site.

Our program arrangement was under a synthetical evaluation of the potential social influence, site conflicts, and practical consideration such as circulation and phasing, aiming to provide a core region in the city with greatest inclusiveness and accessibility. Based on the Urban Regeneration Strategy, we introduced different programs into our site, keeping the independence but giving them possiblity to connect to each other.

Floor dimension and layout study for the best of the program's flexibility and economy sustainability. The ideal offices must be easily reconfigured-and the boundaries between office groups easily shifted-using only a single construction trade.The ideal floor plate must be dimensioned to provide for different and evolving work styles, multiple security scenarios and ample natural daylight. Its faรงade should be dimensioned on a 1.5meter grid, facilitating standard private office configurations of 3.0 and 4.5 meters.

The floor plans are stretching bars, because we want to keep the site urban context continous frontage, which forms a sense of streets. The other benefit of stretching bars is that it covers more area, so the buildings won't be so high, which also shows the respect for the surrounding low rise buildings. However the site is vertically separated, so we make many floors connecting to each other, so people could catch a short cut avoid complicated circulation.

[Space Sequence]
There're mainly 4 big programs, from bottom to top: city history museum, tourist info center, leisure space, community library, which also contains other small programs in each one, such as storage space, lobby, and temporary exhibition.
The 4 main space is big, so we use box in box logic to organise different programs, then drag and move each one to make it more lively. When people gradually going up, they will have a spiral feeling of the space.
[Circulation]
[Territory]
The main circulation is to solve the 17m height difference between the two sites, from lower site to the elder people apartment or just across it to the city plaza on top. Above circulation is mainly for apartment users, to go to the community library.
The space was separated by the different program, at the same time, divide into open & private space. The community library is mainly for the residents so put on top to avoid large circulation noise.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RESERVED BUILDING AND NEW BUILDING As the program required, we kept the original old building functioning as the landmark of this region, and transformed it into an art museum, which could serve for the whole residential area, holding events and bringing culture to the community. This old silo was also connected to the new building to the community library throught the bridge. Therefore the two cultural buildings was closed tied to each other.

SENSATION
Research shows that the view-angle coverage of six years old children is only about 60 percent of adults in horizontal and vertical direction. That means the actual visual area is only 36% of an adult’s if we multiply these two numbers.Furthermore, low objects, what we adults do not conceive as obstacles, will block children’s views. Therefore, knowing space which is based on children's perspective is completely different from adults' senses. Children know this world by using views which are totally different from adults.

Babyrinth is the combination of the word Labyrinth and Baby. It means the labyrinth for babies. The period in kindergarten is a fundamental period in the formation of sensation for children. It also opens door to the development of perception. In this specially designed labyrinth, children could explore the space, and better touch the world.

Task: Design a 6-class Kindergarten This is a 6-class kindergarten for children. The site is located on a slope and surrounded by regular residential buildings. Our main inspiration comes from forrest to organize the cubes in order to get the children into a sense of being embraced by the nature. Eventually, we try to build a fantastic world of various exploration of space and a great paradise of playing for the lovely children.
Surrounding buildings are mainly residential blocks. So this site gives us a strong sense of facing south. Therefore, we followed the site logic to put different programs in bars and all facing south. The most important playground should be in the front. As a result we put the main entrance to the side road of the site. For one thing it does not block the main street, for another thing it will leave the main playground not disturbed by the people and cars.
The site is on a slope, so how to solve this site height difference is also a problem. In this case we divide it into three level with different programs. When designing the kindergarten, we also make the main volumn facing south, because sunlight is the most important natural factor we should consider for children’s growth, which is also in accordance with the surrounding buildings in the site. In plan, I divide the funtion into 3 parts: office, classroom and playground, then that we got 3 bars. Then I put all the 3 bars on a ladder along with the slope, therefore the 3 parts will not block the sunlight from each other. In this case, the kindergarten take the best advantage of sunlight and has minimum earthwork.

The courtyard for children is very important space in kindergarten, and its function is not just ‘play’ that simple as well. Normally we treat the courtyard space as empty space, as architects we only design the real space. However in this case, I materialized the void space as a real massing, put it into the massing study and we finally got our final concept. The layout is based on a normal 9m x 9m grid system. Between every two classroom, there is a open space for play and sunlight. All the open spaces between classrooms link all the teaching area together.

[0.0m Level Floor Plan] In the Babyrinth, all the classrooms are lifted off the ground and on different levels. We don’t have the concept of a common 1st floor. Therefore, we just cut sections from 0.0m 3.0m 6.0m level, from which we can see that the functions are actually clearly distributed in different height. The upper space is sleeping room, the middle space is classroom, and on the ground it’s free space to play. This is also a transition from quiet space to noisy

Going to kindergarten is a group living experience to children, which prepares them for the future development in school and society. In this period, children should form the concept of order and know the rules that they should follow. In the meanwhile, the educator should also be careful not to be too strict in rules. Children still need space to develop the invididual personalities in this period. The best way to educate children is through games. In the Babyrinth, I designed two games for children to experience the concept of random and order.
Game1: Pass through all the classrooms at one time. All the 6 classrooms are linked together through bridges, doors or even ground.Children should find the right way by themselvs. And it must be started from Class 1 or 6. After passing through a sequence of spaces, they understand the concept of order. Game2:Forest Exploration All the 6 classrooms are lifted more than 1.5m above ground, leaving all the ground area for the children to run.The pillars are like the trunks, the pits are the holes, the classrooms are the shelters.Children could run randomly and freely in this area and play many classical games like hide-andseek there.

Since the eye level for the adults and children is quite different, the world they see is also different from the other. Therefore, we did a research on the children’s eye level height and set the boxes just above that height. By this way, we delibrately seperate the world by views for adults and children, even in the same place. The under space is only accessable for children, but it still could be inspected by the adults. As shown in the Look Down view.

URBAN WATER HYACINTH CRISIS
[PROJECT INFORMATION] Scale: Urban Planning & Infrastructure Status: Real Situation Research Site Location: Shanghai, China Period: Started in Oct 2014 Collaborator: Selena Du, GreenPeace Asia (Collaborator in future: Guangbin Sun, Biology PhD Candidate from Xiamen University) Task: Investigate and try to provide a solution for water hyacinth crisis on Huangpu River
Background: It’s an irony that there is a strong relevance of GDP and Pollution in terms of Google Trends keyword searching, the two keywords are even getting closer and closer nowadays, which makes us wondering if the boom of GDP is always at the cost of sacrificing the environment. The recent outbreak of water hyacinth in Huangpu River draws back the public attention to this issue. The annual floral outbreak usually runs from October to December, but in these years, there is a tendency of longer duration and bigger scale, which makes the situation worse than before. Intrigued by this, I started the personal research on Huangpu river water hyacinth crisis issue, and tried to use cross-disciplinary knwoledge to solve the problem.

Why is this issue important? Water hyacinth has been identified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as one of the 100 most aggressive invasive species and recognized as one of the top 10 worst weeds in the world . It is characterised by rapid growth rates, extensive dispersal capabilities, large and rapid reproductive output and broad environmental tolerance. It is considered one of the key pressures on world’s biodiversity: altering ecosystem services and processes, reducing native species abundance and richness, and decreasing genetic diversity of ecosystems. They cause substantial economic losses estimated by one study to total US$120 billion annually in the USA. In South Africa, estimated economic costs due to invasive alien species are currently above US$ 700 million per annum or 0.3% of South Africa’s GDP, and could rise to over 5% of GDP if invasive plants are allowed to reach their full potential.
What are the possible approaches? Awareness needs to be raised amongst local communities and all stakeholders on the inherent dangers of water hyacinth infestation.Given the complexity of control options, it is critical to develop comprehensive management strategies and action plans. A multidisciplinary approach should be designed. In response to this task, we are trying to adopt the [Swarm Intelligence] methodology, create crowds of self-functioning units, which is the so-called [Hexagon Islands] to form a monitoring and functioning network, each one has it’s own function, and on a larger scale, they collarborate with each other, to help control the water hyacinth population. We must understand that eliminating this specie is impossible and not necessary, the goal we are trying to achieve is to keep the population down to a harmless level, or even figure out a way to reuse it, in which case we could reach a dynamic balance benefiting all sides. Knowledge Support: Most data cited and methodology used in this research were based on long term research from Uninted Nations Environment Programs and Greenpeace.

In Asia, water hyacinth is idespread on freshwater wetlands of the Mekong Delta, especially in standing water.
Water Hyacinth was introduced to China in 1930s, between 1960s-1970s, it was promoted as a feed. However, since 1990s, China’s serious environment pollution caused the increase of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients in waterbody, which triggered the massive propagation of water hyacinth. This situation reachs peak in 1990s till early 2000s, and becomes an annual event in Huangpu River.
It has been detected in the Sundarbans mangrove forest of Bangladesh and has caused heavy siltation in the wetlands of India.
estimated economic costs are currently above US$ 700 million per annum or 0.3% of South Africa’s GDP

The spread of invasive alien species is neither easy to manage nor easy to reverse, threatening not only biodiversity but also economic development and human wellbeing (UNEP, 2012). Native to the Amazon Basin in South America water hyacinth has emerged as a major weed in more than 50 countries in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world with profuse and permanent impacts. Intensified monitoring, mitigation and management measures are needed to keep water hyacinth at unproblematic levels.
HONGQIAO AIRPORT
The city's environmental protection workers are currently engaged in a race against time, fishing out 2,000 tons of the rapidly growing plant from the city's waterways every day. Outbreaks of water hyacinth do not normally occur in Shanghai until the end of October, but, this year, it started to appear at the end of July.
THREATS POSED BY WATER HYACINTH & CONTROL MEASURES
2009.10 Water hyacinth has been labelled as the world’s worst water weed and has garnered increasing international attention as an invasive species. Efficient in utilizing aquatic nutrients and solar energy for profuse biomass production, water hyacinth can cause extensive environmental, social and economic problems. It is found in lakes, estuaries, wetlands, marshes, ponds, dambos, slow flowing rivers, streams, and waterways in the lower latitudes where growth is stimulated by the inflow of nutrient rich water from urban and agricultural runoff, deforestation, products of industrial waste and insufficient wastewater treatment .The success of this invasive alien species is largely due to its reproductive output. Water hyacinth can flower throughout the year and releases more than 3 000 seeds per year.
[THREATS]
According to the water management department of the Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Administrative Bureau, more than 28,000 tons of water hyacinth has so far been taken out of the water. Last year, the city cleaned out 166,600 tons of water hyacinth.

As the city get denser and higher, we now have fewer parks in downtown area. So we could also transform it into a park, or even bigger one if linked more islands together.
If we just leave the motion units, remove the energy generating units (septic tank + termentation device), and then replace them with 4 desalination units, we got a tiny fresh water plant.

The outbreak of water hyacinth normally happens in the second half of the year, and it’s dispersed geographically, which indicates that program requirement for this structure might change as the time and space changes. Modularized design enables each single island could be easily modified partially or entirely in response to various program requirements. On ground deck, there are 3 slots for different program, and on under-sea mechanical level, there are 6, the combination of these could provide the maximum possibility of flexibility and customization.

If we want to have an inclosed space in the middle, then we need at least 6 units to form one, such as the above one, 6 wind power generator form one energy hub.
Ships carrying away the water hyacinth
In Residential area, there should be more urban farming units to provide food convenient and accessible to civilian, and there should also be more leisure space. In city center, there should be more floating parks or bridges to alleviate traffic jams. In the Industrial Plants area, we could have more energy producing units and use the salvaged water hyacinth to clean the heavy metal in the industrial sewage.

The Fire Fighting Truck for Emergency
BLOCK TREATMENT In case there is a very serious situation, we could use the floating hexagon islands queue up in a line, and block the whole huangpu river, preventing the water hyacinth from invading into the city center. Then all the salvager could move to one side, it’s like a dam cleaning all the things come to it. And then ships could carry all the waste to other places.

UNINFESTED AREA INFESTED AREA
Pudong New District
FARM FIELD RESIDENTIAL AREA
Along the whole Huangpu River, the regional function should be different. In the water source area, there should be more monitoring units. Farm Field area, there should be the integrated farming units, which will be a supplement to the original eco system, decrease the use of chemical fertilizer.
East Sea
This could would also help when emergency or disaster happens. For example, Airplanes crash into the sea, then this long line could take the responsibility of rescue platform. The police cars, fire fighting trucks and ambulance could run on this platform which will help a lot if real disaster happens.
i. Temporary Bridge Enclosed space could be used for fish farming or concentrated treatment
ii. Emergency Rescue Platform
EXIT
GROUP TREATMENT Above cases only happens when the situation is really urgent. Because there are also a lot of other ships on the Huangpu river, which means we cannot block the whole river all the time. Therefore, in most cases, the hexagon islands act in groups, normally 3 clusters a group, to move all the water hyacinth into one closed area, concentrating on cleaning them.
EXIT CONCENTRATED SALVAGING AREA
In other times, when water hyacinth was not a threat to Huangpu River, these platforms could serve as the free land for temporary exhibition, big events, and recreation. ENTRANCE

SCALE COMPARISON The width of Huangpu River ranges from 300m - 400m, the radius of the hexagon is 16m, so normally around 20 islands could connect from one side of the river to the other side.
Lujiazui The Oriental Pearl Tower
GROUP ACTION The hexagon islands don’t need to cover the whole river area, they could accumulate in clusters and link nets to each other to make the water hyacinth inside the circle.

Flow of People - Terminal Building
This site lies just in between two mountains, Tang Paj Shan and Pak Fu Shan , and runs across the ShenZhen river, with nice natural environment. Actually,the flow of the passengers is also like the flow of the river. Therefore, I borrow the elements from the environment to build our form, which perfectly combines the function and the form. The design concept comes from the study of traditional Chinese characters “water” and transformed it into the masterplan.

COOPERATION This Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point is controled by two governments of ShenZhen and HongKong.It is a bridge to enhance the communication and the cooperation of both sides. In order to achieve this political metaphor, I didn’t set the two Passenger Terminal Buildings apart. Instead, I connected the two buildings together through a bridge, so that it looks like just one building, which implies the high efficiency and good cooperation between the two government of ShenZhen and HongKong. I borrowed the elements from the nature to merge them into each other, just like two hands closely held with each other.

RAINNY MODE
The Facade system and the Roof system are also a part of the environmental systems, which is the composition of the circulation system of the building. On sunny days, the roof blinds can adjust it’s angle to let the sunshine come in according to the sunlight demands, which could save much energy for lightenning.What’s more, the membrane structure would prevent the ultraviolet radiation.
On rainny days, the roof blinds could also adjust it’s angle to direct the rain into the specific rain collector, recollect and reuse them, which also saves a lot of water resources.

"Bright City"theory advocated by the new city planning thought reform,I imagined building high-rise buildings in the city, the modern transportation network and a large green space and creating a sun-drenched modern living environment. Wow, sounds great! Cobb! What does it look like?

I have another theory called “Broad Acre”. Each single-family home is surrounded by an acre of land, producing food for own consumption beween the super-highway,public facilities along the road layout, gas stations located in the commercial services for the entire region center.
This is also great! What about combine these two, to make a “Bright Acre”? Therefore, it has the advantages from both sides?
All the road for the car is under the ground, there is no specific gate for the pedestrian, we could walk into this big park as we like.
It could be better in this way, I think.

宅 Community Express The fastest way to connect the whole community. Every building has one station to carry passengers to different areas.

Nowadays more and more people prefer staying at home logging on the internet instead of going out, which leads to the arise of a new group called “Zhai”group. Owing to this, in our design we intend to provide much more convinience to the public communication.
In our design the people are closely connected together, so it prevents the arise of the “Zhai” group to some extend, and let the social activities more convinient and interesting.

The platform in the middle is a low speed park for the public. People could walk or ride bicycles, and enjoy the happy time there.

THE GROUND
In the past, we can not get rid of the limits of the ground. If Family A wants to meet Family B or go to some public facilities, we should get downstairs and upstairs again and again, which will reduce the interest of the people to join into public activies.
Now we connect all the single buildings to form a large one, which enables the horizontal movement to get rid of the limits of the ground. It’s closer and much more convinient, which will benefit the residents and enhance the communication.

Cars are not allowed above ground.There are huge parking spaces underground. Only if people go out of community they use car. ONE LONG THIN BUILDING FROM SIX SINGLE ONE

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘Happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. -John Lennon
