The building 5 X 7 is situated on the edge of a riverfront plot.

“Demolishing is a decision of easiness and short term,”said Anne Lacaton. “It is a waste of many things – a waste of energy, a waste of material, and a waste of history.” The sense of life in architecture lies in the duration of time, which is closely related to the usage scenario. However, buildings also have their own life cycle, whether it is the decline of the building's own functions, changes in social demands, or new requirements by local policies, all of which become opportunities for old buildings to be rejuvenated.
