The project is situated in an old urban neighborhood that boasts an excellent cultural, educational, and ecological environment. The team intends to construct a humanistic open space for the local community using deconstructivist architectural and spatial patterns. This will help attract more people and promote local economic development. By combining traditional scaffolding and trusses with novel deconstructive techniques, the space will not only be self-explanatory but will also express the fusion of the old and new, reflecting the owner's determination to change the cityscape and jeopardize the old urban renewal project. The open space will provide services such as rest, meetings, and consultations. Additionally, it will introduce a popular humanistic café that aims to change the way of local life and boost energy and creative power in the community.

Deconstructivism is a design style that employs fragmentation and deconstruction, using non-linear and geometric elements to create visual effects of deformation and displacement. This building is constructed using the deconstructive method, which breaks away from the standardized architecture and space.
