I greatly appreciate the 'Learning City' project, which is a wonderful chance for me to design and associate with students from different discipline backgrounds. I would like to express my deep gratitude to all teachers who organized this project. City is complex, so building a better living environment needs participator from all fields. Professors from both China and Germany gave many lessons to us from different perspectives. In this studio, what's deeply impressed me is the process of analyzing stakeholders, market and business before designing, which Germany students focus more on. It is a very precious chance for students to change our present thinking model.

In this summer, we got a chance to visit Germany for about 2 weeks. We have gone to Düsseldorf, Berlin, K?ln and so on. The most surprising thing about German cities is that there are a lot of old buildings and heritage which were reserved and reused. Especially, in Düsseldorf, in order to get comfortable waterfront space and to protect people here, the road is put underground to cross the place. Compared with cities in China, 2 riverside roads are always built along the river So I think we need to learn to cities in German to give a chance to people to get close to water.

非常感谢此次“学习型城市”设计项目，对于我来说，是一次难得的机会可以与德国不同专业背景的学生一起设计与交流。也在中德各位教授和政府专家从各个角度对旧城改造的认识中收获良多。在工作坊期间，最让我印象深刻的是德国学生在利益相关方和商业模式上的关注。

今夏，在德国考察和学习期间，我们一行参观了杜塞尔多夫、克隆、柏林等城市，一座座写满了历史故事的城市，每一栋建筑都似一位长者，讲述他们与这座城市的过往。一场建筑新与旧、传统与现代的对话由此开始。杜塞尔多夫KIT艺术馆利用地下快速车道剩余的狭长空间，构成了年轻艺术家展示自我的舞台；Fortuna电厂烟囱外的建筑盒子，成就了滨江天际线的和谐，这就是德国人的智慧和艺术。莱茵河畔，品味古老城市处处散发出历史书般的芳香，也感受着杜塞尔多夫城市慢行交通设施的舒畅。对比中国城市画重金打造的城市滨江路，割断了人与水的亲密接触，德国城市的经验也值得我们深思和学习。
