In Chongqing, due to the rapid development of the city,Since old buildings cannot adapt to the new environment, they are subject to the fate of demolition and reconstruction, hence urban texture and cultural regionalism of architecture gradually disappearing. The uniqueness of a city is lost while changes take place. Especially in big cities, many unrecognizable places are often cut off from culture, history, and tradition. These isolated "urban decay" areas dot in urban fringes in Chongqing.

The site of this project is located in Chongqing Coral Dam, a natural gravel bank formed by the siltation of the Yangtze River.In 1933, the then Sichuan provincial government funded the construction of Coral Dam Airport.Coral Dam Airport is a seasonal airport, opened and closed with the ebb and flow of the Yangtze River tide.Because every year when the flood season comes, the coral dam airport will be out of use, the building on the dam will also be removed, so the airport office and airport, is composed of dozens of simple bamboo shed.
