Social Layer
Social activities are composed by office work activities, commercial activities and entertainment activities, and they also could be seen as large amounts of personal activities and small amount of collective activities. According to the latter, social layer is correspondingly composed by two parts, daily social modules which provide services for large amounts of personal activities, and four centers in terms of ecological centre, entertainment center, financial center and traffic center, which are set for different collective activities.
Daily social module
A daily social module is a large atrium with front side open to the external environment, and back side open to the traffic layer. The other two lateral sides are crowded with small offices, retail stores, cafes, restaurants, and clubs etc. which are connected by multi-level sidewalks. Walking bridges, plazas and small parks are set between them. This spatial pattern is inspired from the atrium space of gargantuan multilevel shopping complexes in Asian cities, which “bring public to ‘higher grounds’” and may be a new form of 3D city, as MVRDV group indicated in KM3. (MVRDV, 2005)
Four centers
Four centers are set on four corners of hyper tower. Ecological center is located at the south-facing corner, biological technology plants there use sunlight to break down parts of the human waste and compost for recycling back into the soil. Entertainment center is consisted of theatres, cinemas and a stadium. Financial center provides large office space for collective office work. And traffic center contains a multistory parking structure for personal aircrafts and a public port for both water traffic and air traffic
