On January 23, 2016, the “CHINA HOUSE VISION Ideal Home” seminar was held in Beijing. MAD partner Hayano Yosuke reported on MAD’s research project “Micro Garden” on future hutong toilets.

"CHINA HOUSE VISION" was initiated and planned by Japanese graphic designer Kenya Hara. It is a cross-industry R&D and innovation project with the theme of "Future Housing and Community". It strives to start from the local area, take "home" as the foundation of cultural life and the focus of the development of various industries, and think about the problems facing China in terms of cities, population, resources and environment.

MAD’s research proposal “Micro Garden” is inspired by traditional gardens. It explores how future hutong toilets can function as functional facilities and operate themselves through an organic circulation system. By adding three-dimensional green spaces, green spaces can be connected and distributed throughout the community, bringing a rich and diverse community experience with a more positive image.
