Flowing Tower
Since the Great Wall has been built by 15 dynasties in China, it lasted 2000 years. The period in my project have a cycle of 2 years, 12 stops, one stop every two months, a speed of 0.2 miles per hour, a total length of 20,000km, spanning the entire Mongolia, which lasted 30 years, and sent these soldiers who died in foreign countries.In the tower, hold solider's plate wichi represents the soliders' souls who fought with ancient China.
Embassy
Embassies move 12 times in Mongalia land. The purpose is send the souls of soldiers who died on the Great Wall of China back to their homeland so that they are not buried under the ground of the Great Wall. Easily assemble and carry. In the whole process it serve as the heaven gate to sent the souls back to their homeland

Embassy-Night time Ceremony-night At the beginning of the ceremony, the spirits of the ancestors will come out of the tower and come to the courtyard where the ceremony is held. In the courtyard, there are three steps, the dance for the sacrifice, the burning of paper money and the offering of the altar. After these three steps, the worshiping ancestors will come to the gate of the embassy under the guidance of lanterns. The gate will have a special arch-like shadow that coincides with the real one, giving visitors who want to visit the opportunity to "meet" their ancestors. When souls pass through this gate, their souls are also able to return home, to their own land.

Courtyard-daytime At the end of the day-long ceremony, the burning tower will hold a ceremony at the next stop to send the next batch of ances-tors home. In embassies where no ceremony is held, the courtyard is replanted with grasses and plants that native animals eat to attract native animals to the courtyard. At the same time, the embassy will also operate as a normal embassy, receiving local guests and tourists. Handle the business of various embassies. But 30 years later, when all the ceremonies are completed and all the ancestors are sent back to their hometown, the embassy and burning tower will also meet their own death, and all materials and engines will be reused and used in industries such as iron The material and the material of the engine.

key Ideas
The proposed pavilion aims to extend the Campus Farm's mission by serving as a living-learning lab dedicated to sustainable food growth and community building. In alignment with the farm's goals, the pavilion is designed to be educational, providing users with a deeper understanding of the intricate processes involved in food production, while fostering a sense of community through a celebration of food—from growth and preparation to consumption. The pavilion is firmly rooted in its local context, utilizing readily available local resources and promoting engagement with native plant and insect species. It is strategically positioned to frame defined landscape zones around existing elements such as the walnut tree, pedestrian path, and strawbale house. Emphasizing the importance of minimizing impact on the existing site, the design incorporates strategies such as local material sourcing, avoiding digging into the soil for foundations, refraining from disrupting the black walnut's roots, and minimizing cutting of tree branches. Furthermore, the pavilion is carefully crafted to integrate with existing insect and animal ecosystems, providing habitat through the definition of plant and insect zones and incorporating a roof/gutter design that supports these ecosystems.
