Summary

The RDM School is in its rapid development. Meanwhile, currently the region nearby could not provide enough supplement programme for this amount of activities. Not only the daily programmes such as shops, restaurants and museums, but also night active places are necessary, thus bringing attraction with endurance. That is to say, the programmes needed here is actually fluctuating.

Our proposal is for this ever changing programme. The upper and lower flowing and flexible surfaces together cover the current pier for loading goods. The inner space could act as an interactive container for different programmes during daytime, and squeeze active space at night as well. At the same time, the roof, which is relatively deserted at day, will become landscape at night as open public space.

This fluctuation of surfaces and programmes could be made with the movement of the two surfaces, as well as the variant size and mode of openings. In fact, the control of openings could have ecological benefits. The inner programme variation could be achieved by the movement and grouping of functional units.
