如何为高层住宅、精品商店和大跨度高架商业桥提供具有同等大小和时尚质量的临时结构？如何将公众阅读和交流气氛纳入这样一个以利润为导向的环境中？如何在设计中保持区分与整合的平衡，再加上快速执行和有限预算的任务，都是一个巨大的挑战。

How to provide a temporary structure with comparable size and fashionable quality as its surroundings with high-rise residences, boutique shops and large span elevated commercial bridge? How to bring public reading and communicating atomosphere into such a profit-oriented context? How to keep the balance of distinguishing and integrating in design?  Together with the task of quick execution and limited budget, all these are big challenges.

在人行道中央，建筑师建造了一个轻钢结构，长28.6米，宽5米，高8.5米，上面覆盖着透明的丙烯酸板。这一巨大的规模保证了更多的人能够参加各种活动，并能自由通过。节奏和透明度具有视觉吸引力和欢迎性，鼓励公众分享。

In the middle of the sidewalk, the architect erected a light steel structure, 28.6-meter-long, 5-meter-wide and 8.5-meter-high, covered with transparent acrylic plates. The significant size guaranteed the accommodation of more people’s participating in various events as well as passing through freely. The rhythm and transparency are visually attractive and welcoming, encouraging public sharing.

光和声音的设计模仿海边的闪烁和浪潮，使展馆更像一个白日梦。除了在拥挤的大都市里创造一个浪漫和放松的阅读空间外，它们还具有功能导向，例如排除附近的交通噪音。

The design of light and sound imitating the seaside shinning and tide-waving make the pavilion even more like a daydream. In addition to create a romantic and relaxing reading space in the congested metropolis, they are also functionally oriented, such as excluding the nearby traffic noise.
