And re-assemble them into new public territory for the city.The plan explained how elements are placed in different density and scale, in order to construct the isotropic field of machines.When the pollution level is getting harmful for the citizens and people are aware about their living conditions.The active social workers put on their mask and fully release the steam from the building to conduct isolated environment for discussions.The field is switched on during winter season through the production of steam. 800 steam nozzle on the field of pipes are released, forming a massive steam field that is hot, humid and blurred. people express themselves freely through the protection of steam.Discussions are announce to the city by emitting colour reacting to seasonal pollution.With this 12-month colour combination that can be seen the different clouds along the year depending on the prevailing winds and NO2+SO2 value of the city. The building providing a new way of reading the city.The colour travels far in the city to deliver the message from the building to the rest of the city.To conclude, the project uses the material left over by the Communists, to construct a public territory for the people in Beijing to work and gather in the cold winter.
