In the urbanization control area,rather than prohibiting the construction of buildings,we believe that building for local farmers can curb disorderly urbanization.This is a one-story house for farmers in rural areas. The aim was not to be a residence, aimed to become a frame for farmers in this area by building it on this site surrounded by agricultural land. In the future,only the structure will remain, and it will be a workspace for the surrounding farmers. We hope that over time it will take root in the region,and that this structure will suppress urbanization and protect valuable farmland.
