The courtyard is the Chinese tradition spatial shape, once was occupying the pivotal status in China's housing culture. But in the modern city life, as a result of various reasons, the courtyard space gradually vanished from ours life. Wants to realize the courtyard type housing in the city, by enjoys the air freshness and the tranquility, perhaps has become one luxurious way, because the courtyard while gave the people the joys of life also to occupy the city space and the resources.

In my mind, only then plays regarding the child time memory with the same age partners in one courtyard are such happiness. After but has a look the present the children are on vacation from school every day only then the parents, any friend together has not been playing. The child which all is in growth time regarding the psychology and the physiology said is extremely disadvantageous. Therefore this had my design concept "the city box". In fact, the children room is limited, inside mine design BOX COURTYARD, I uses BOX to replace the Chinese tradition the central courtyard, belongs to the children own world for city in children.

BOX COURTYARD has not placed the design focal point inside child's room, but is the more attention children public activity place. As for the child that, own room most are many is uses in studying and sleeping, cannot in the true significance let the children actually relax. Therefore extends with the building constructs the space to build for the children to belong to the children own world specially. When let also contain the possibility which the security and the guardians participation. In the housing room inside the space, I designed many have been possible to save spatial the installment. Like water cock using in common sprinkles with the flower uses in common and so on.

The courtyard life significance not solely the many kinds of possibilities which provides in garden itself, but also will lie in him between the peripheral various functions space which will organize

through the courtyard to be able to have the subtle relation with around, it will form flowing.

The central courtyard is Chinese traditional culture representative one, makes any change to him all to be supposed to be the establishment in the respect history and the cultural base, therefore

I hoped "box" the form could express the central courtyard element the spirit.

We may regard as a box are a courtyard; I want to use this equipment to express me about the city box concept. A child plays has not forever been interesting, even if in the family has the sufficient

space and the full game toy, the children only then in can together the true happiness. Anybody does not have the authority to take the space which this extends, in fact very many families are do not have the ability to bear this spatial expense, the human multi- situations are dissimilar!
