By the other hand, the project shows the integration and interaction. Firstly, the time integration and interaction, it’s a link between past, present and future. Secondly, the spatial integration and interaction, the relation between solids and voids. Thirdly, the functional integration and interaction, how the archaeological, recreational, cultural and commercial needs gathering.
