About the topic: In big cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai Shenzhen, the excessive tension of work and
the stress that the workplace brings is especially portrayed through the Chinese working society, as excessive
workloads and working overtime under immense and compressing pressures have gradually become a
detrimental social
norm. In Shenzhen, the city is developed extremely fast in the past 30 years. Lots of skyscrapers were built in
these period, but most of them were built like boxes because of efficient and conomic reason. They don’t have
place to relax themselves in office towers.The only activites for working class is go to the restroom and smoke
the ciagrattes, or go to the only balcony in each building. They need a third space in the office tower to relase
their stress. This third space should bridge working class and working space, esay for people to go, and great
for their physical and mental.
