Dalang is an industrial area in Shenzhen where migrant workers from different provinces are found . Other than daily routine work in factories, migrant workers merely lead a healthy life at all since there is not a single venue for them to spend time at during leisure time or even do some shopping. Lacking of career opporturnities and prosperity, young migrant workers are destined to be trapped in such a situation.

The design school aims not only to provide education to migrant workers so as to upgrade their knowledge, but also to provide retail areas for students to sell their prototype designs. This policy on one hand allows students to earn money directly from their regular school days, and initiates the local commercial activities on the other.

It is also hope that the school, located along the Dalang river and near urban villages, can at the same time act as a park for the community. By merging the soft landscape into the school, different spots of the site are linked up and the building itself becomes a venue where all migrant workers can gather and wander in their leisure time.

Adjacent to the Yau Ma Tei carpark building, the intervention is an open market situated at the junction of Temple Street and Kansu Street. It targets to provide an alternative, a more permanent, solution to accomodate ad nourish the vibrant night market culture of the district. Derived from the pavilion design, the riboon stall is interpreted as the structure of the building.

To keep the hawkers shielded from the weather but not bounded into an indoor environment, the building is designed with a minimal layer of skin as a multi-storey pavilion or shelter. Placed orderly by the vertical structures, the pavilion module is further simplified and transformed into a furniture. Different furniture is tailor-made for different users including jade sellers, souvenir hawkers, groceries hawkers, Chinese fortune-tellers and more.
