01 Arctic Anti-melting Station Glacier Anti-Melting Station / Extreme Environment Engineering
Endangered Western Greenland
Increasing moving rate of Greenland Glacier Surface Melting is speeding flow of Greenland Glaciers. Each summer, the meltwater seeps through crevasss and moulins to the bottom of the ice sheets. At the bottom, the water can lubricate the base of the ice, while it also releases heat when ir re-freezes, softening the surrounding ice and allowing it to flow faster. “Warmer, softer ice within the ascal unit together with llubriation at the ice sheet base contributes to the onset of fast flow. ”In the onset regioin, the ice moves 10-100% faster than the adjacent ice.” (from the study published in the journal Nature Geoscience)

Create Ice-Stablizing Network Moulin drainage events influence Greenland Ice Sheet dynamics on hourly to interannual timescales. However, direct observations are rare, and, to date, no in situ studies exist from fast-flowing sectors of the ice sheet.
Step 1 Block the Meltwater
Moulin drainage events influence Greenland Ice. To stop the water from seeking, install a water block to stop it is the first step

The heat tank and the heat transferring fin are installed under the glacier surface from -10m -80m, in order to extract the longlasting coldness in the mid glacier. Also, it would be the best place to storage the coldness.

Summer Fog
Soil / Gravel
Fog is most frequent during the dry summer months from June to September. On the coast, wind drives an upwelling of cold water on the ocean surface, creating a temperature gradient that cools the moist air above. Water vapor then condenses into droplets in the air, producing the fog, which provides moisture to the area.
Fog Harvesting Process
Reservoir Water Pipe Steel Beam Alum Glass Structure
Responsive Sliding Nets The mechanic sliding net can be operated to response to the changing climate. When the Fog Detector detects the fog approaching, the sliding anchor would move to fully open meshes to harvest fog, and when the fog leaves, anchors would move again to close the mesh. Nets fully suspended
1. The wind naturally directs fog into the nets, which are suspended vertically on the western facade 2. Atmosperic water vapor would condense into droplets, and then fall downwards along the suspended nets. 3. The net traps water droplets within its mesh, and these then fall into a trough below, leading to a reservoir where the drinking water is collected. 4. The water collected would be utilize to irrigate plants and be sprayed on the western facade to cool down the heated side. These water could help reduce the usage of AC to save electricity.

Dry Summer (May - Sept.)
Monterey Bay, CA, USA The climate is a cool Mediterranean type, strongly influenced by the prevailing winds from the west, which blow over the Pacific Coast's cool ocean currents from Alaska. The average rainfall is 50 centimeters (20 inches) per year, with 90.3% falling during November through April. Fog is most frequent during the dry summer months from June to September. On the coast, wind drives an upwelling of cold water on the ocean surface, creating a temperature gradient that cools the moist air above. Water vapor then condenses into droplets in the air, producing the fog, which provides moisture to the area. The Salinas Valley, a productive agricultural area many miles inland, is the recipient of more than five hours of fog and low clouds every 24 hours.
CSUMB Campus The campus seeks to meet its carbon neutrality goal by 2030 and strives for 105 percent net positive energy production, in alignment with the Living Community Challenge.

HoloScape A Digital Cityscape that integrates hologram with city model “Holographic Cityscape” incorporates holograms into cityscape model, offering a brand new experience of viewing the microscape with realtime data and events happened in a city. The 3D space information includes the transportation system, human activities, climate data and all GIS data collects from the city. Allowing kids and students to clearly observe the city in a interesting and easy way. In addition, the mobility of the building units allows children to freely arrange the layout. Undoubtedly, the data would react immediately after the change of the arrangement in order to provides highly interactivity. This product is design to boost the experience of studying city and architecture in early age, also for academic use in higher education of architecture and urban design.

Track 3.0 - for Immersive Experience In the future, we hope to integrate tracks with virtual reality and hologram. We would like to design series of track “toys” which could be placed in the virtual environment. By doing so, players can put the tracks designed on their own in diverse virtual scenes such as cities, natural environments, and gain immersive experiences from the products.
