Farmland Section drawing

Farmland is one of the parts of the idea of self-sustaining. The self-sustaining aim to fulfi ll part human needs for a resource such as foods, energy, and water. By building up PV-panels shading devices to collect water and solar energy. Also, the parking lot is a way to collect water and solar energy. Farmland is built for both food and scientifi c research.

Social Hub Section Drawing

In this project, the woody island is the social center, a circulation area that connects the other program. This area is the hub for various human social activities and social living spaces, including a dining building, research and study center, welcoming center, and dormitory. The design of Woody island was inspired by the land feature: woody and wet soil. So it elevates from the ground to minimize the damage to the natural environment.
