“The most important thing is their realisation that they can actively play a part in shaping their surroundings, that what they say about where and how they live will be listened to and that the key to their future lies in their own awareness” – “The Child in The City”, Colin Ward, 1978: 185.
Dashilar is a part of a larger investigation by Maj Horn, about urban childhood and how children experience public environments in very different cityscapes.The project is made together with artist Maj Horn and Micro Yuan’er, a non profit Children’s Library and Art Space powered by ZAO/standardarchitecture for local children of Dashilar, a Hutong neighborhood south of the Forbidden City.

“最重要的是孩子们意识到自己可以主动参与到对自身周边环境的塑造，他们关于在哪儿生活以及如何生活的意见会得到倾听，通往未来的钥匙就在他们的感知与观点中。” —《城市中的孩子》 Colin Ward 1978:185
