Intervention
Hangzhou Tides Kindergarten is located in Wangjiang Unit, Shangcheng District, downtown of Hangzhou with 16 classes as planned. The land is in an irregular shape, with a high-density residential area in the northwest and an urban road in the southeast. Architects hope to create a healthy and happy space in an environment surrounded by high-rise buildings and urban roads through design strategies for children to grow up.

Lingzidi Bridge / Rural Urban Framework

The design of the bridge involves a singular loop linking two levels of the riverbank and an additional arm connecting across the river. This produces a wide, direct path for small trucks and motorcycles and a pedestrian path that cuts under the bridge to allow direct access to the river for washing, cleaning or fishing. Steps and shaded areas provide spaces for seating and relaxation. The river has long been an obstacle between the village settlement and the agricultural production farm. Nowadays the villagers are able to commute freely across the river and meet at the bridge for trade and commerce. The bridge has become a social hub for the village.
