Fishing Village Under Aircraft - Gaoqi Village is located at the northernmost point of Xiamen Island. Historically, it served as the nearest ferry terminal for travelers arriving in Xiamen from the mainland by boat. In the 1980s, the urban airport was constructed near the village. Restricted by the height limitations imposed by flight paths, this fishing village under the aircraft managed to avoid demolition and disappearance among the rapid urbanization. It has preserved its original morph and continued to develop traditional fisheries today. With population of over 20,000, the village suffers from the shortage of public facilities. To address this issue, the local government plans to restore and renovate the abandoned Lins-Courtyard, transforming it into a community service center that will benefit residents in the surrounding area.

New Growth of Red Village - Outside Yishala Village are layers of terraced fields piled up with cobblestones, and inside the village are courtyard dwellings built according to the envelope of the mountains. The intense sunlight in the Panxi Valley passes through the gaps between the roofs, casting distinct geometric light and shadows in the narrow, winding, and undulating village alleys. This is the first visual impression upon entering Yishala, and it serves as the design prototype for the observatory space. Firstly, the design compresses and "backfills" the auxiliary spaces, and restores the height differences of the mountainous terrain in the environment by steps. Then, the functions are disassembled into four small-scale units distributed in a staggered pattern. These units are connected in series through stairs, corridors, and bridges, translating the vivid charm of tradition with modern architectural language.

Half Architecture
Half Architecture is one kind of design method we take, trying to balance modern lifestyle and traditional craft in construction project. Architects only do part of a design to optimize critical problems, leaving the rest to local builders. Meanwhile, traditional craft can be developed and evolved during modern construction.
