“In an island, architecture is no longer the extrusion of property lines but a system of thresholds that defines spaces of use...... It entails a radical act of architectural imagination that questions the very premises that underpin and dominate our current forms of coexistence.”

Autonomy seems to be a natural opposition to capital. Due to the high pursuit of efficiency, against the background of capital balancing input and output, high-density residential buildings like replicas occupy a huge residential space in today's China. It seems that in order to erase the diversity of spaces and individuals, the government tacit connived to the obliteration of spatial individual diversity by capital under the goal of high management.
Based on the current situation of contemporary high-density housing in China, this project proposes a new way of transformation, attempting to break the limitations of high assimilation and single specific site, which is a reflection and exploration of coexistence.
