The crossing and corners of Forbidden City and SOHO area


When I tried to find the relationship between the design system of Forbidden City and SOHO area, some interesting things attracted me. From the same scale, the size of Forbidden City is nearly the same to the SOHO area, which contains SOHO Square and Air Street. Of course, these two sites have totally different architectural textile and   geographic features, if the self-similar, mysterious structure from Beijing is applied to the site in London, or put these two together to find more unusual space, at least, I could see some potential sparks and space of further development.
So I made a 3D model, which piles the imperial palace and English houses together.
