Abstract:Chinese society and city were structured relying on frameworks. From traditional courtyard house to Soviet work unit, frameworks shaped the idea of group and defined every individual within groups. However in today’s context, framework itself has lost the power to manipulate citizens’ life. In the meantime, countless residential or working containers connected by huge scale infrastructures have dominated the city. To deal with the issues of urbanization, I propose a middle scale society in between of the concept of family and city, which could again define the population into groups. This strategy would not rely on frameworks anymore, but on the third Chinese unit — a serving urban point.
