A boundary could be a group of some boundaries.
Boundarys are unsteady, they will influence each other and change as time lapse.
Boundaries can be a part of others and independence at the same time.

Something about Chinatown
About street: Dissimilation
When we extract all the chinese symble from the London China Town, it will not be a china town anymore. The symbol is the carrier of chinese style life that dissimilate these street in London.
About items: Diffuse
Every object in the environment will effect its neighborhood.
About people: Floating
Chinese bring their symbols to effect the surrounding which form a special space. More Chinese accumulate, the feature will be more clear in this sapce. As people move, the boundary moves, As people leave, the street disappears.

Ecosystem Representation by Ink- Part II
Seed Unit
Environment Adaption
Situation 1 - Above Water
Situation 2 - Under Water
This part is about designing an enviroment relatated to the ink experiment.
These are origenal seeds which will chase the light to grow up. When we drop the seed into one medium, it starts to grow, explore the enviroment and seek for the light. As it reaches the Salt River, it will change itself to break out the boundary. After that, the seed keep growing. Because it is in another medium, so it will grow in another way.

Process Analysis
We can explain ecosystem in two ways. First, it’s a process of circulation, which reflected in the energy flow and material flow. Also, it is an evolutionary process. Basis on the viewpoints of Charles Robert Darwin and Alan Mathison Turing, The result of evolution equals formula add random parameters add environment selection.
I want to use a special method to perform the ecosystem. Suppose I am the nature. Paper, water and salt are the natural element of environment. Ink represents the bio action. The flow of ink follows a certain law of diffusion. I can lead it approximately, but I cannot control his movement pattern. As a part of nature, what I have to do is to choose the best picture of each generation.
In each generation, I have prepared three piece of paper and set the same “environment”(made the paper wet and an angle of 15 degree to ground floor, set a salt river in the middle of the paper), and drop ink in the same way(50cm height from the paper, on the same side of the paper). After I finish all of them, I chose the best one as the “gene” of next generation. So the random pattern in this paper can be delivered to their offspring. And then, I melted all of the paper, re-made them into new paper (or other object) and start the next generation. Recycling of paper represents the energy flow and material flow.
In the second generation, I use the “gene” pattern as the background of the three pieces of new paper. And then set the same scene as last time and drop ink to let them “grow”. After these, I chose the new “genes” again, and use the same method to deliver the information to next generation. After repeat for three generation, we can see the trend of genetic changes. My choice in the experiment is the “natural choice”, although the process is not controllable, through multiple times of choice, the last generation of information is the closest from my ideal, which have some pattern on it (the top, the bottom and the salt-river become more and more different). However, I can only lead a large scale of trend, but not control the details.
Nature controls the earth by ecosystem, man belongs to nature, so the behavior of mankind is a random parameter of ecosystem, and the creation or design by man is also a part of ecosystem. Some of the random actions are ignored and some others are amplified and extended to alter the environment. As long as people add some interference of the existing environment, nature will use his own way to develop and evolve until form a new system. Just like the butterfly effect. For example, if we left a pool of water in the backyard, then there will be mosquitoes, bacteria, green moss and so on to construct a small ecosystem. If we take a glass of water from the ocean and pour them into a river, it may take some marine micro-organisms into the river which could adapt to the new environment and develop into new species.
We can wake an ecosystem, but we cannot change the basic rules of the ecosystem. Our behavior is the random parameters, not the formula itself. We can adjust the micro nature, but the general trend of nature cannot be so.

Fluctuant Box
This project is located in one of the most flourishing commercial street in Beijing, near the Da Yue Cheng Shopping Mall, which is the largest one in this area. So there are a lot of people walking by every moment. But this old shop is so small that no people will regard it. It needs a new fashion façade to attract attention and let people remember. The main view of this shop is from the bridge. My plan is to make the new façade looks changing while people walking by the bridge. I use two materials (semi-transparent glass and white painted wood) overlay layer by layer. Each of them has a certain curve pattern. When they mix together, they will generate a very interesting effect. The sunshine and shadow will strengthen its dramatics. The façade is different according to different time and position. In the evening, lights will illuminate the semi-transparent glass, which make the façade more attractive.

Valley House
The shape of the clubhouse is base on the contour line of the hill. Its geometrical shapes fit the landscape around. The roof is directly contact with the earth, so people can easily walk on it, just like walking in a mountain. The “head” of the building is the highest part, towards the sea. So it’s the best place for people to enjoy the sea. The basement under the building generates some semi-interior spaces, which join the building and the landscape together.
