Are there any new architectural space prototypes that can be discussed? This is the starting point of our experimental project. This space experiment is located near the river in the tourist area of Jiangxin Island in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province. In this project, we give up the consideration of functional elements and start to look for keywords that can define spatial elements in the environment. After analyzing the site, the design focuses on three key words: ergonomic, Proxemics and Behaviorology.
人的行为尺度是我们项目关注的对象之一。对不同的人的行为研究,是我们非常好的设计资源,通过对人的行为观察和理解,让我们发现了空间的各种可能。
The scale of human behavior is one of the concerns of our project. Research on the behavior of different people is a very good design resource for us. By observing and understanding the behavior of people, we can discover all kinds of possibilities of space.

Proxemics is a concept developed by Columbia University anthropologist Edward T Hall in His book Hidden Scales. In this project, we deepen and extend this concept, applying it to the category of physical space, discussing how intimate space, private space, social space and public space are defined and designed at different scales.

Speaking of behavior, from the perspective of architects Yoshiharu Tsukamoto and Momoyo Kaijima, human, nature and architecture are discussed as a whole, because the study of this case does not involve the category of urban daily life pattern. Therefore, the Behaviorology of various elements in the natural environment was studied and explored. Breeze, sunshine, sound of waves, drizzle, sweet osmanthus fragrance, affecting the feeling, perception, touch, hearing, visual elements, are the materials of our design.
