"Cedar Hill Ring Corridor" is located in New York's Central Park. It is a flexible and versatile summer ring corridor conceptual design that meets multiple functions. This design is based on an underground ring structure, which conforms to the landform and is hidden under the natural hills of the park. The elevator and a circular track allow the "ring corridor" to freely change the height and rotation angle, so it can meet a variety of space needs, including: independent theater performances, small concerts, various exhibitions, etc. When not needed, the "Cedar Hill Ring" can rotate down to completely disappear, leaving only a trace, faintly shining at night, becoming a bench and meeting space. The whole design breaks through the traditional concept that buildings are often built on the terrain, and takes another way to "inlay" buildings under the natural landform, thus making the natural landform play a more important role in architectural design. On the premise of not breaking the natural open space, it enriches the spatial diversity and usability of the park.
