And most importantly, unnatural changing took placed in 1986.  Design Process would be based on city texture of that time.

2. Secondly, maintaining existing blocks in 1986 as revised space for office and transforming the space between blocks as new space for performing. 

Taking  the central group of buldings as the new media center, Building  scale development  would be focused on space and construction based designing. Outdoor space was designed to be transformed into avant-grade performing space where more and more modern content would be shown on. The contrast between old city context and new application of space should be emphasized  dramaticly. 

Based on the original city context, principle of distribution of buildings clusters would keep while relationship between would transformed into a brand renewal showplace.The new media center   is distributed into several zones serving as different roles in the  process  of  producing and displaying multiple content.
