Addressing underutilized school facilities from declining birth rates, Jin-Xue Elementary School is transformed into an intergenerational co-living habitat. Through spatial subtraction to break boundaries and an additive strategy of "4+1 cluster housing," the design manifests a framework for diverse generational roles. Intentional circulation paths foster spontaneous everyday encounters, evolving the century-old campus into a sustainable settlement that connects people with nature while reconstructing warm urban neighborhood ties.
