There are many high-rise buildings in modern cities, which makes the city stuffy and airless. The lack of flowing sunlight can activate the life of residents. Not only are residents deprived of the right to enjoy sunlight, but the animals and plants in the city also lack sunshine. The conceptual design of the building is built in the form of combined modules, which undertake the urban cell urban function. As the basic unit to create a good lighting environment and a green space based on the sunlight environment. First of all, the urban cell is the smallest unit that defines the urban space. It has independence and integrity and is surrounded by the urban space; Secondly, the spatial structure within the cell does not have the attribute of city; Thirdly, urban cells are functionally independent and are functional units of cities; Fourth, urban cells have typological characteristics, can produce deformation, and have flexibility and adaptability. Fifth, each cell can carry out respiration and photosynthesis to realize the energy cycle and lighting shaping of the building. Urban space is composed of these urban space units, which are presented in the form of cells. Its internal structure and their mutual relations determine the quality of urban space. Through the gaps between building modules and overhead interleaving, soft light changes with time. The mottled light and shadow create a green space in the hollowed out atrium in the middle of the building. The building skin can breathe, and the time and amount of daily sunlight entering the room can be controlled through the intelligent turnover board. It can not only avoid the hot summer in southern China, but also ensure the sunshine demand in winter in hot winter and cold summer climate areas. We hope to create a sunny outdoor space to connect with the interior without too much sunlight. There are holes and hollows in all directions and at the top, creating a beautiful and dreamy space.
