如果天光减弱，结构剪力墙的形状就会投射到玻璃正面，这与工地的石墙形成了关系。

If day light diminishes, the shape of the structural shear wall, that creates a relationship to the site’s stone wall, is projected onto the glass facade.

类似于保留石墙，这座墙为孩子们创造了一个很好的游乐区域，他们可以在那里爬，可以从洞下面通过，或者坐下来看远处的风景。

Similar to retaining stone walls, this wall creates a great play area for kids where they can climb, pass under the hole, or sit and see the distant scenery. 

这种结构剪力墙由船形的木块组成.

This structural shear wall consists of ship-shaped wooden blocks.
