01 F(H)ARMONIUS NEIGHBOURHOOD Due to the urbanism process in Nanjing, a large number of original farmland and villages around the site have been transformed into science and technology parks and high-quality residential area. Many scientific researchers came to live in this area, and some indigenous farmers were placed in this area.

PROPOSED SPATIAL ANALYSIS

The central activity area has a central planting area, a c e n t r a l t r a d e s q u a re and a seed cultivation greenhouse, which provides a place for indigenous farmers and white-collar workers to communicate and experience farming activities together.In this way,the two groups can live more harmoniously. According to the strategy obtained from the previous analysis, the whole community plane is laid out. In consideration of suitable living space,robust activity and convenient accessability.


OPEN SPACE

Public rental area has open activity space, including planting experience area, recreation area and message wall. Let the scholar population have the space of rest and communication. Meanwhile, they can learn from the indigenous farmers and experience the joy of planting.
