Ancient architecture is the soul of urban memory and a carrier of historical culture, It records the development of a city.
With the rapid development of urban modernization, The city is constantly expanding, Historic sites are gradually surrounded by urban areas of reinforced concrete, one by one Isolated old buildings prove that the expansion of a city is cold and blind.
Nowadays, we face such a problem: When the continuous expansion of the city and the carrier of historical traditionare in fierce contradiction, What kind of methods do we use to generate interaction and dialogue between Historical tradition and modernization? How to change the situation of ancient buildings with modern construction methods? we build up a concept, To disengage ancient buildings from the ground. On one hand, ancient architecture is associated with contemporary cities, while continuing to Keep urban’s memories alive, Guard the land.
The rise of ancient buildings provides an infinite possibility of viewing. first and second floor’s people look up the ancient buildings through the glass, observe the material and structure of each buildings, and observe the layout between the buildings. The reflection of glass reflectsthe illusion of illusion and creates an ethereal atmosphere.

1. preliminary question
A. general yashu is located in the center of Hohhot and in the northwest position of the area called“The drum tower overpasses”which is close to city’s main roads and both has larger human traffic and traffic flow;with the increase of population and expandsion of city, the ancient buildings were gradually surrounded by dense buildings, there is no parking lot and related services facilities,no public space for people to rest and exercise.
