Site
Finally, I decided my project will be located in Nottingham, on Mt hooton rd.This place is at the edge of city centre. So, it is not bustling and it is tranquil. And green areas are next to this site. Besides, market and New Art Exchange also are near this place.

How to Make Free Knowledge?
When I talked with Grant about my "Combinative Bookshop + Farming = New Bookshop" idea, he said I stared my research with a deep meaning, why did it not reflect in my idea?
.......Actually, I do not know how to use my space to reflect something about the social activities, like Ai Weiwei's behaviour. I read a article called "HOW ARCHITECTURE REGULATES", and this article made me think about Knights of the Round Table. You know, it is a typical example to show the relationship between people and space. That round table gives everyone opportunity to say and to speak. And this table stands for equality and unify. But for me, how to do it? Perhaps, I need to change my idea of bookshop firstly.
Grant said if I designed a bookshop like waterstones, the there would be a another boring shop in the world. Then, we talked about the free knowledge.
You know, knowledge is free. But now, people make it expensive.We want to know something clearly or study something, we need books, physical books or e-books. In our education system, we also need to pay. To some extent, education is a business. The teachers sell their knowledge to students. When these students grow up, they will sale their knowledge to next generation.
Obviously, about this question, even for governments, it is hard to resolve. However, Grant said, we can do small things and when more and more people do this thing, it will become bigger. I cannot agree with him anymore! This is an exciting idea. I believe this sentence 200%, although some people think it is ideal. I believe that the existing of design is used to help people and promote their life, making the world better!
Grant's words stimulated my passion and belief again. I really thank him!
This is my developing idea:
research about human library, huangdao library and currency.
