City from a Grain Sherly Zhang Neural Interiors Yueheng Lu

This project looks specifically into the rearrangement of building trash and geological resources at an urban scale. It proposes active flows of resource exchange that enable the city to feed on itself and develop in a sustainable way. Zooming in to a small scale, this project looks at the interior of different types of apartments in Shenzhen. It uses neural networks, advanced materials, and new hardware technology to generate a different living style.
