Model Production Based on the current shortcomings of the site, add an open-air cafĂŠ to attract students and staffs to make them more active and positive.

However, the academic building is far away from the canteen, only vending machines nearby.

The introduction of the cafĂŠ can make up for the shortage of open space, but also to meet the students a taste of the desire of food, it is two birds with one stone.

In addition, Rainbow Waterfront Promenade is a waterfront promenade, is also a moisture-proof embankment, which the design of the solitary line and the side of the buffer for the waves have a good role. The layout of the promenade solves the problem of runoff of rainwater, supports rainwater collection system and other infrastructure networks, eliminates the isolation between buildings, and the promenade becomes a comprehensive transitional zone between cities and beaches.

As the origin of the history of Xiamen, in the organic renewal design of the area, we explore whether the Yingping community as a "city infrastructure", in the premise of preserving the original business, emphasising its residential functions.
