The northern suburb of the ancient Jiading city was once a flat and wide country field. With the rapid development of urbanization, it is planned to be an industrial park now. The original pastoral scene has been cut into blocks of different uses by planned road network. Not only the landscape, but also people’s lives, has been sliced into different parts by the busy road network and blocks.

he building site is located at a square plot in the ancient Jiading city. We don’t want to cut people’s lives into functional parts such as research and development offices, canteen, accommodation, and entertainment area. Instead we hope to intertwine high-speed working experience and relaxing environment together. By layering landscape elements, boundaries of functions will become blurry. An exuberant and syncretic space will then be built up to give a picturesque view of the industrial park.
