spaces.
Also should be sensitive to the environment around and be able to define itself as a new
landmark in Qingdao.

The project tries to clean the actual concept of parking from peoples¡¯ minds and make
them understand how can it development to something different.

the project elsewhere.
The final project should be able to convert parking into cultural space, when not used, and
allow to recycle the building for new future functions- office, housing.
This way the parking could be idealize as a very architectonic building, recyclable and
public.
From the analysis of the problems and the opportunities, the project intends to include in
the proposal all the parameters that could be an advantage to the project- empty plots,
new developments, future parks, etc.
One important strategy was to use a future park plot for the project so we could have the
public space and add other uses to interact between them without damage each other.

Even if the main strategy was to create a prototype, adaptable to anywhere, it was also
intended to apply and adapt the project to a site and real situation.
In this case is important that our project interacts with the activities surrounding- university,
new residential, restaurants etc- to provide the parking but also the public space that East
Village requires.
