Prototyping from the cloud, the space synchronizing with the change of surrounding environment, create an immersive experience and a ‘conversation’ to the sky, in the heart of Beijing.
Three modes of lighting dynamic was designed for different occations. LED was programmed with assitant of Andrew Wang, to imitate motion and atmospheres. A colour study was done before every testing and has been documented to demostrate to the light engineer later on site.

Technology is not an entity, it is a process that always decaying to process the new.
The thesis proposes a cosmo-architecture, using data infrastructure as a prototype to manifest a cultural typology that records our past and informs the future. New Prometheus is a cultural institute, an archive of knowledge in the age of digital obsolescence. The space iterates with speculative technology to translate timeless knowledge and information to the future.
Questioning the paradoxical discourse of our condition with technology, the project re-proposes the cultural role that architecture engages with technological infrastructure; Neither engaging in the demonisation nor surrendering to the technological sublime, it is a memo for the accelerating future that leads to singularity.
The design evolves in continuous growing phases, each phase follows alternate technological speculation, obsolete servers are used to support the rise of the new data landscape. It records the infrastructure with alternative data storage along with every technological turn, as the archive of archives, and finally arrives at the future data archipelago, manifesting an alternative data landscape through its own disappearance.
Through the lifecycle and longevity, the irreversible process of decaying the old and processing the new, writes an alternative fiction of technology.
New Prometheus I - Prelude
Scan to view the film
Modern Prometheus is a cultural institute, an archive of the immersive internet, of the age of digital obsolescence.
The program is an Archive of each generation of the Internet, translating where information can be loaded and uploaded again.
The program aims to reprogram the displacement between information and its storage, to derive a direct, transparent relationship between information and people who is accessing it.
Data from each generation will be translated into the techniques of its new generation, thus half of the space is intentionally left blank (around the sea, to be built and extended), adjusting to the new needs
The program challenges the hierarchy of information and data on the internet (where currently is valued by the security level of information)
Translate incomprehensible information of the data (and the relationship between data) into tangible architectural space
Chosing Scapa Flow in Orkney Island as a site, which metaphorically as the cemetry of technology, the sunken technological monster after the preliminary fail of the war, became the legacy of the site.
The sunken wreck exposes the process of decaying of technology.
The wreck grows with submarine ecology. The site became a sediment of technology, symbiotically grows with the submarine ecology, strives a new possible narrative of technology.
The design proposal follows the same idea of sinking and rising, focusing on the process of 'becoming', the monster grow and dissolve with time. rewrite the mythology of technology.
cemetry of technology, the sunken the site. technology, symbiotically grows with the process of 'becoming', the monster grow
This is the process to translate and encode information into DNA plant. It is a one-directional process that cannot be reveresed or overwritten. Given the current limitation and process of DNA encoding, a hierarchy of data need to be redefined throught this process - what to remain timelessly and what to diminish for oblivion

In the 'archive of the archives', obsoleted servers will be deconstructed as anchorages for submerge structure, carrying sunken data vessles, the metal body will become artificial reef for submarine biology.
The former phase supports the later.
Thansition from offshore to submarine as a time-based monument for the data landscape.
As water decaying obsoletes servers, the server vessels are being reused towards the sea, to rises new archipelago for future data plantation, grow into the water.
Sinking and rising...
New technology emerges and the old raise the new. The mega infrastructural monster became less visible, dissolved and rises new structure
At the same time, as DNA plants being developed into new landscape, marking a transition from mechanical to biological, and finally becoming symbiosis with the environment.

In the process of decaying and processing to progress the new at the same time, each phase of the design is the becoming of the new “monster”, which aims to rewrite the mythology of technology.
To conclude, the project sets a frame that is both technological and fictional, historical and speculative. The translation process marks a technological turn from digital mechanic to algorithm big data, then finally to the biological technology which is our ultimate and oldest dream to technology, becoming the ideal medium for our legacy, to rewrite the future mythology.
As the project would continue, in order to not fall into the loop, or not repeat the previous loop of either demonization or romanticization. I would like this process to be the new cosmology or mythological model for technology to be narrated. I want it to represent a kind of an emerging cultural model for technology. This will by my focus in the next stage.

Urban regeneration always comes along with destruction, demolition and physical changes to the local context. Elephant and Castle is currently on the second verge of regeneration. Consisted of people from different cultural backgrounds, the area is known for its super-diversity community and its multi-cultural shops. The regeneration plan by the Southwark council was aiming to stimulate cultural and economic growth. Controversially, The wide range of demolishment and generic reconstruction is gradually becoming a social homogeneous process. Along with the change of built environment, intangible social identities and memories attached to those physical fragments were also diminished.
As James Corner stated, “making mapping, not a tracing” in The Agency of Mapping, contextual research often focuses on the physical and material context of the site and then finally presented in physical form by the architects. Intangible contexts are always hard to be captured, measured and expressed apart from the material side. These often lead to a generic and stiff institutional limitation in cultural architecture.
The primer part of this project aimed at how material reflects social diversities and vise versa. In the individual project, theatre blur, I tried to preserve and archive the social character of Elephant and Castle embedded with material experiments, translate spatial information on physical material by immersive technology.
This project explores the potential of archiving intangible social information with an architectural approach and form sharing and diverse identities. Instead of seeing the regeneration of a demolishing process, I see it as a utopian potential to diminish the boundary in the segregated community and continue social interaction.
When the show on in the theatre, visitors can get a glimpse of filtered view into the theatre. The projection and light inside the theatre emphasis the audiences figure and was seen as an obscured scenery. The view through curved translucent (different range)theatre skin changes according to visitors motion, as they walk up along the spiral staircase. The view gets clearer when they go to the upper level, which resembles the “gallery” in traditional theatre.
The projection on building facade will start at the night play time (19:30) at night. The view was reversed when the inside was illuminated and shared by pedestrians.
Polycarbonate LED lit up the under bridge arches and connected the Walworth community to the main street to stimulate more activities and event in the public walkways around the theatre.
