Based on the existing summer parent-child night tour in Shanghai’s Century Park, the design aims to deepen the theme of the scientific popularization of fluorescent insects, and enhance the influence of night tours, so that tourists of all ages can participate. Through the loop system inside the science park, the design creates two sightseeing modes of “bright line” and “dark line.” While protecting the fireflies, it also increases landscape construction and museum buildings, and appeals to more people to protect the natural habitat of fireflies in cities.

Shanghai, as a mega-city is a hot spot for express deliveries. There it is worth exploring how to use the express delivery industry to achieve the dual tasks of becoming “carbon peak and carbon neutral.” The express station is an important public service facility in the sphere of community life, and there problems like waste packaging and the resistance of people to changing their approach need to be solved. Analyzing and thinking from the perspective of people and nature, we proposed the solution of “small things transform the big environment.” Taking the express station in Cao Yang Xincun and the first workers' Xincun in China, as an example, the interior and outdoor space of the express station and the express locker were transformed into a new model, that of the “Bamboo Dragonfly Express Station.”
