Spittlebugs have evolved a remarkable survival strategy: they feed on fluid from deep within roots, which is nutrient-poor yet abundant in water. To cope, they excrete excess water, forming bubble nests that serve as shelters. These nests are not only distasteful to predators but also ingeniously regulate temperature, moisture, and oxygen levels, creating a suitable microenvironment for these small creatures amidst harsh natural conditions This phenomenon offers valuable insights into the concept of enclosed spaces, especially in light of human challenges.
Reflecting on 20th-century innovations, we see parallels in human ingenuity. Consider the diving suit, an extension of the human body that allows exploration of underwater realms, or Buckminster Fuller’s Geodesic Domes, which encapsulate human activities and environmental impact within a semispherical structure amidst nature.
Today, as we face the escalating challenges of climate change, the external environment is increasingly inhospitable. This demands novel concepts and methodologies for creating enclosed spaces that can adapt to rapidly changing conditions.

Nuclear power as a sustainable energy source has brought many benefits to mankind, but the nuclear weapons is a hidden danger to human development in the future. When a nuclear weapon is detonated, it will produce a blast of enormous heat and lethal ionizing radiation. During World War II, the first nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 which resulted in the deaths of approximately 130,000 Japanese civilians and military personnel. Therefore, we want to create designs for "The Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial" to support the call for a ban on nuclear weapons.
