The Daxing fire that occurred at the end of 2017 exposed the current situation that the survivors of the urban fringe had no fixed place and the living environment was overcrowded. The essence of this was that the spatial information could not be effectively transmitted, which eventually led to the lag of local information flow and potential hidden dangers. From the perspective of urban information flow transmission, four kinds of sports patterns already existed in the city are selected, and the rules of thermal change are extracted, and a new spatial information network with self-organization ability is reconstructed at the fire occurrence site. This kind of network is based on TOD theory. It combines five kinds of functional information carried by four main groups to explore the spatial unit of local static and regional dynamics, and makes scene prediction for the systematic evolution of information particles in urban fringe.

The second stage starts with the study of
visual language, translates it into architectural symbols, formulates a language system, and defines the use functions and attributes corresponding to two-dimensional to three-dimensional spatial symbols. We combine bending to assist form finding, to design symbol vocabulary, to further define grammar, and to build an information-rich environment.
