Distant Street view

People are getting everything from the virtual world and spending a lot more time in that society. However, in order to have a more balance life, physical interaction between people still require and this is the vital activities that will be still needed in year 3000 and in the future. People still crave real

encounters with other real people in real environments. The company of others seems to be fundamental to our sense of existence and belonging. The site locates not only at the centre of Padding, but also is a place that is easily accessible and it is the route to the transit centre. The site also surrounds by offices, dwellings and shops, which means it is not monocultures but mixed uses by different occupants. It is the best location for social contact with others and access to greenery in order to maintain psychological balance. The Paddington central provides social learning opportunities, which offer people with different norms, behaviours and cultures. It is a place to learn

about other people's attitudes, background values which cannot be learned in the virtual world. We promote the existing Paddington culture, which is the relaxed, round-the clock culture. We encourages a variety of people to be using the space at all times. Paddington Central is a human scale, 7metres tall design. It consists of a cafe, restaurant, fish farm, plaza and a greenery space. The design concept comes from the water drop and water bubble. It attempts to learn from the nature about how plants & natural environments grow evolve & adapt to local circumstances . The unique form of the design aims to provide distinctive character and identity  become positively memorable and attracts repeat visits of local as well as the people from other suburbs.

The design also provide a variety of sitting opportunities. The plaza provide a place for Sunday market to attract more visitors. For maintenance of the design, we encourage local residents to volunteer, while they get involved in the area, it will provide the sense of belongings for them.
