HHD_FUN: Working on similar design principles as the Heavenly Water Service Center, the Earthly Pond Service Center made according design responses to the aforementioned three elements of architecture, environment and human:

1.合理利用自然坡度的差异——地球池塘服务中心的下沉庭院毗邻湖泊湿地。建筑和景观高度按照自然等级设置，在不同高度提供多种可达性和观赏体验。主要建筑空间低于周围街道的水平面，面向中央下沉式庭院，从而在容纳游客的同时，提供卓越的水景观。
1. Reasonable use of differences in natural gradient – The sunken courtyard of the Earthly Pond Service Center is adjoined to the lake wetland. The architecture and landscape heights are set following the natural grade levels, providing multiple accessibilities and viewing experiences at different elevations. The main architecture spaces are lower than the surrounding street levels, facing the central sunken courtyard, thereby accommodating the visitors while affording view of preeminent water landscape.

2.最大限度地保护现存的地貌、景观和植被——地球池塘服务中心区域内的数百棵树木全部得到了保护；屋顶平台和绿色空间也被创造出来，这提高了建筑效率，有助于将建筑与景观融为一体。
2. Preservation of the extant landform, landscape and vegetation to the greatest extent – All of the hundreds of trees in the Earthly Pond Service Center area were preserved in their entirety; a rooftop platform and green space were also created, which promoted building efficiency and helped integrated the architecture into the landscape.

3.多车道系统–地球池塘服务中心在设计中采用了三维菱形网格系统。网格根据地形和功能需求的变化进行自适应调整，在不断调整参数的前提下实现了整体建筑和景观的最终设计。在调整过程中，地形的适应和高程的纵向调整非常重要，从而在不同高度创建了一系列连续的空间系统，包括屋顶平台、天文台平台、广场空间等，这些空间系统是根据现存的地形形态形成的；继菱形网格系统之后形成的阶梯系统成为贯穿这些空间系列的转换元素。然后，建筑被视为某个级别的参数控制的变体，集成到几何系统中，提供建筑及其环境的内聚空间系统。
3. Multi-trail system – The Earthly Pond Service Center applied a 3-dimensional diamond shaped grid system in the design. The grid carried out self-adaptive adjustment according to the variations in landform and functional needs, and achieved the eventual design of the overall architecture and landscape under the pretext of constant adjustment parameters. During the adjustment process, the adaptation of the landform and longitudinal adjustment of elevations are very important, such that created a series of sequential spatial systems at various heights consisting of the rooftop platform, observatory deck, plaza spaces, etc., which are formed following the extant landform morphology; the step system formed following the diamond shaped grid system became the transformational element interring these series of spaces. The architecture is then seen as a variant of a parametric control of a certain level, integrated into the geometric system, delivering a cohesive spatial system of architecture and its environment.
