During the epidemic, I saw amusement social hub as a kind of space to connect with the world, in neighborhoods that were sometimes quiet and scary away from the city center. The lively atmosphere here always reawakens my own carefree childhood memories. The alternately noisy and quiet atmosphere is more dreamy than the social centers in other neighborhoods, which are filled with children's frolics almost all day long. I hope that the feeling of happiness and innocence that this space has brought or has brought to people will never be forgotten. I also hope that the audience can feel emotional resonance in this project and experience the warm and healing feeling of talking to themselves in a slow pace. -


In the morning, old people come here with their pets for a walk and chat.

At noon, plant around the land is bathed in the bright sunshine, and the residents hide in the pavilion to talk about current affairs or domestic affairs.

In the afternoon, when the kindergarten next door is over, the place suddenly becomes the most vivid time of the day. Children raced around the equipment on bicycles, while parents sat on their phones and chatted about the frustrations and joys of the day.

At night, the land is calm again, and the warm lights gradually illuminate the darkness. Adults and teenagers who have finished their meals do not forget to come and sit in an empty corner while walking, enjoying the space with only themselves and nature.

At the midnight, it turns into a living space. Wild cats in heat sit on slides making sounds known only to their kind like baby cries. Insects crawl over every inch of land and sit on rooftops enjoying the moonlight...
