These days, some public kindergartens in China face problems such as outdated facilities, small activities and lack of greenery. Many children spent their childhood in small concrete buildings, with very little contact with nature, even if some kindergartens set up plantations or spring and autumn outing, but these are not enough.
In the old Old Town of Beijing, it was difficult to achieve this model, so I proposed the concept of Eco-cylinder, that is, by means of several ecological cylinders with different functions, to some extent, achieve a natural, forest-like environment for

Urbanization & Rural Space
This project aims at solving the problem caused by the urban expansion, the rural space has been occupied by the urban space due to the urbanization. Using a lifting flat to hold all different parts of a village in order to preserve the feature of the rural space, but also to improve the land utilization.

Farming life Noisy market
As of 2006, Jiangxinzhou, as a whole, is mainly agricultural, and its special soil is particularly suitable for growing grapes. Every year, the grape festival attracts tens of thousands of visitors, and the whole island maintains a village texture.
Socialize with close neighbors
Messy construction site High density residential buildings
In 2020, due to the advancement of urbanization, most of the villages and farmlands will be turned into construction sites, new residential areas will be built, the original grape festival will no longer exist, and villagers will move from the village space to high-density residential buildings.
Indifferent urban neighborhood socializing
Using a lifting flat, and concentrating all the different functions of a village on it, like the residence, warehouses, market, school, and so on, it has a tendency to extend in all directions. To create a continuous farmland, I lift all the buildings to increase the land utilization, but in order to still have some of the village feel, Therefore, I chose to arrange the rural buildings with different functions on a long slab in the form of Mat building.

Human & Robot
When we thinking about the future office or the future studio, I think it might should be a kind of co-existence of humans and robots, and there are some companies that already have done that now. Robots can help people do simple and repetitive tasks, can provide information for communication or can even do some sophisticated job. People and robots live and work harmoniously in the same space. The existence of robots greatly improves the efficiency and quality of people’s life. Therefore, in the design, I consider that there should be separate traffic flow of robots and their rest space, so as to achieve a harmonious coexistence of human and robot state.
