The sex trade is one of the oldest transactions of human beings, and sex is a basic human right. But not ever yone has the ability to find a sexual par tner, so an industr y that provides sex has emerged.

In 2011, the sex trade zone was legalized, but it was said that "the sex zone is an untrue, hypocritical political design": the central government authorized the local government to require the planning and management of the sex industr y, but the local government was worried about public grievances and falling housing prices. As of today in 2018, Taiwan still does not have a regional planning trading zone.

However, the sex industr y has not disappeared, but turned underground. In order to evade the police's investigation and hook up with the underworld, the safety of customers and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases cannot be guaranteed, and sex workers have no protection. All these phenomena made me think , what would it look like if the sex industr y zone was successfully established?

Qingshuiyan Patriarch Temple is the first place for sailors to disembark and pray for safety af ter the

River ship enters the por t. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there have been prosperous commercial activities around the temple, including the sex trade.

I intend to explore the consciousness of sex as a human instinct that is suppressed and buried underground at the base of Zushimiao when the sex trade is on the edge of morality and law.

I care about the way people find a sexual par tner, so I studied ever y kind of behavior people would have when they have sex. I intend to explore the subordination relationship between "event" and "space" in the way of architecture and then study the changes in "traffic flow" to seek operational possibilities.

By studying the behavior of human beings before and af ter sexual behavior, I review nine classic behavior patterns in the way of traffic flow analysis, turn them into architectural patterns and then incorporate them into functions.

In the end, I put nine different functions for sexual behaviors underground so as to echo the representation of human beings' inner wildness.
