Typical actions in the city curate what people see in the building, as a point of attraction.

Take a sit at roof cafe, and you may hear Chinese opera in the building opposite you. That is how modern life could take part with traditional cultural environments.

When existing conditions meet with new actions, time is telling a story of mixing what has happened and what will happen, activities of everyday life become part of the oral history in the site, as an urban diary.

When children meet across the riverside, the game box gives them a new clue for their game.

Follow the way of children's exploration.

Objects give more open space for the public, and for common use. The playground uses the reflecting wall to inform things that are happening opposite them.
