COMMUNITY In the heart of the city, there is an oasis that goes by the name of Vibrant Community. Here, every brick and stone, every window, exudes a vibrant atmosphere, as if by the magic of nature, so that the people living here feel endless vitality.

Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight gently awakens the sleeping dreams through the gaps in the curtains, the vitality of the community begins to quietly awaken. Birds sing happily on the branches, and their songs are the most wonderful prelude of the day. The children's laughter, like dewdrops in the morning, is fresh and pure. They chase and play in the playground, releasing the infinite vitality of childhood.

In the afternoon, the sunshine sprinkled every corner of the community, the old people in the shade of the tree leisurely playing chess, or on the bench quietly reading, enjoying the afternoon peace. From time to time, there are cordial greetings and friendly conversations between neighbours, and these simple but sincere exchanges constitute the warmest scenery of the community.

Climate analysis wind rose

In the evening, the vitality of the community reaches a climax. People from work hurried home, children finished their day's study, the community park, basketball court, everywhere is the figure of sports. Sweat and laughter intertwine to create a vibrant picture.

As night falls, the lights in the neighbourhood gradually come on, like dots of stars, illuminating the way home. The warm light coming out of the windows of families is the warmth of home, the warmest place to return to after a busy day. Here, every family has its own story, and every story is full of love and hope.

This is the Vibrant Community, a place full of vigour, love and hope. Here, everyone can find his or her own place, every dream can be nourished, and every heart can be soothed. It is a home to aspire to, a poetic paradise to live in.

Energy consumption analysis to find the type

By analysing the wind and thermal environment of the site, the opening direction and form transformation strategy were determined. The project is positioned as a large-scale residential collection with high requirements for temperature and humidity, and at the same time, the energy consumption of the large-scale building is increased, so reasonable use of the wind resources of the site is achieved to achieve passive control, and at the same time, a variety of classical forms are adopted, and various ways are utilised, including the chimney effect, to reduce the energy consumption of the building.

In the limited space, priority is given to the area for the two bedrooms, while due to the limited size of the bathroom, a long walkway is used as the boundary between the dynamic and static divisions.

More comfortable bathing environment is becoming the direction of the pursuit of comfortable living, providing two options of shower and bathtub, which strengthens the scenario of living life compared with the rest of the house types.

The bed is elevated to 2 metres, leaving a light pathway and the ability to hide a dressing table and cloakroom within it, demanding space from the height.

Adding a flexible space to meet the special needs of a twoperson e-commerce room and study room, which, unlike bedrooms and living rooms, are more symbolic.

The layout of the living and dining room is one through, leaving the largest space for the public part, in a family of many people, harmonious coexistence can make everyone feel warm and happy.

Early in the morning, the sunlight, like fine gold dust, sprinkles every corner of the street. The aroma of coffee intertwined with the smell of freshly baked bread awakens the sleeping streets. The sound of hurried footsteps, the bells of bicycles, and the roar of buses in the distance weave together to form a morning song for the city.

In the afternoon, the sunlight becomes softer, and the trees on the corners cast dappled shadows. People gather here, either to enjoy a latte at an open-air café or to watch street performers. Children play by the fountain, splashing and laughing like silver bells.

In the evening, the street corner turns into a colourful stage. Neon lights begin to

A building that breathes never relies solely on the passive circulation of wind and heat; it is the feelings of the people who are the real users that we should think about.

In a world where the pace is getting faster and faster, the social clusters are getting smaller and smaller, and the young people who have been bundled up and pressurised by capitalism and consumerism are longing for an environment that can accept and embrace them to create more vitality. Reinventing the concept of breath, from deconstruction, we no longer give it an outward force, but rather from the interaction between individuals, making the "proximity", which is the opposite of diffusion, less suffocating.

The per capita disposable income of urban residents is 40247 yuan, and the per capita disposable income of rural residents is 16947 yuan.

A large number of scattered residential areas and pre developed commercial communities on the outskirts of the city will generate a large number of local people, reduce the area of arable land, and create a huge area of pre developed areas.

As a transportation hub, Shijiazhuang has a developed railway and road network, as well as multiple expressways crossing through, providing convenience for regional economic exchanges.

Economic advantages

Shijiazhuang is the political, economic, and cultural center of Hebei Province, with strong economic strength and development potential.

Population advantage

Shijiazhuang has a large population, providing abundant labor resources and consumer markets for urban development.

Low altitude economy is an emerging comprehensive economic form, with manned and unmanned aerial vehicle flight activities in low altitude airspace as the core.

Empowered by information technology and digital management technology, it integrates multiple industrial chains such as aviation manufacturing, flight services, security support, and comprehensive services. It has characteristics of three-dimensional, regional, integrated, and extensive, and is of great significance for promoting national economic development, enhancing social public services, promoting coordinated regional economic development, and enhancing national defense strength.

Station city integration Station city integration is an urban planning and transportation development strategy aimed at closely integrating transportation hubs (such as train stations, subway stations, etc.) with the functions, spaces, and transportation systems of surrounding urban areas, forming an efficient, convenient, and harmonious urban living environment. Through this integrated design, the accessibility and convenience of urban transportation can be improved, promoting regional economic development, and providing citizens with a more comfortable and convenient travel experience.

To enhance the experience of using public buildings, biodegradation is utilized to reasonably use the natural environment surrounding the building. Artificial mulch is added to facilitate rapid transitions between artificial and natural environments. Additionally, different kinds of plants are configured for the various components of different parts of the building to improve the efficiency of absorption and degradation of these substances.

In t he 1985 satel l ite photo of Wuqing Station, the outline of the city had not yet appeared, and you can vaguely see the pattern of urbanisation expanding outwards from a point to a point, and there is no sign of a structured road plan.

The urban form of Wuqing District appears to be divided into standard field squares based on farmland from the topological map, which lacks the form of catering for nature, and at the same time, the large-scale construction has a greater impact on the surrounding environment.
