We live in a contradiction; all existence is presented to us as ideal, yet the problems created by the capitalist economy over the years have become impossible to ignore. Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit. Capitalism brought us prosperity, but also brought monopoly, the inevitable post-capitalism economic product, which led to non-negligible problems at both social and economic dimensions.

At present, in La Défense, oligopoly is the dominant economic system. Large enterprise severely squeezes the living space of small businesses and individuals. To change the status, it is time to realize a communism economy at the crossroad of history. We boldly predict a 2080 business scenario which emphasises small businesses and individuals, where collaborative economy, circular economy and gig economy (CCG) are economic pillars. The project has four phases, in which the CCG economy gradually replaces the monopoly economy. ‘Smart Communism’ is not only an attempt at architectural reformation, but also a critical innovation of future business mode, represented in architectural form.
