SHERPAS: EVEREST'S MOST FREQUENT VICTIMS To most outsiders the death of any one Sherpa serving in this system is a kind of meaningless abstraction.

They have sallow skin, simple but sturdy clothes, carrying backpacks 1.5 times higher than their own bodies, some leaning on trekking sticks, some pulling ropes, with the snow-capped mountains as the background, showing a natural smile towards the camera. . They are Sherpas and guides for climbers who come to climb Mount Everest. They call Mount Everest the mother, the people who serve the sacred mountain. To make ends meet and lead climbers to the highest point in the world. I often wonder whether they are lucky or unlucky. They have inherently high blood oxygen saturation and are well-deserved mountain climbers. However, they have to do so because of the pure temptation of this piece of business and many conquerors. Ambition, to help complete the climbs that go against the faith of the heart. They are the people I have observed closest to nature, but those who have to drive away from nature.

The stones from site are transformed to material of walls representing 119 souls of Sherpa victems, and line up on both sides of passageway leading to the distance. It make invisibilities visible.

The end of the passageway is a crystal clear lake. It attract people to pass and feel the different pattern of the walls. When you step on the last wall, you‘ll see the soul of your own in the reflection.

The identities of them are engraved on the walls surface, and each wall represent one soul of dead Sherpa. It won’t show their name, only identity like: Father of three children, Son of a lovly mother.

It provide a place for Sherpa people to take a mourning ceremony and memorise them. The dead will never been forgotten, and their ghosts transform to the walls to protect this pure place forever.

THE SHADOW OF CORAL REEF: CRISIS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF RIVER Humans’ moral expectations for natural ecology must be connected with their moral responsibilities for natural ecology, and an equivalent exchange mechanism must be established between humans and natural ecology.

I have seen this scene: the transparent sea water softly sends the sunlight to the bottom of the sea, and the endless colorful coral reefs are covered with the seabed, they are rhythmic leisurely, as if the world is enveloped by peace, without any trouble intervention. Schools of fish move slowly among the coral reefs, some floating in the gaps, and some disappearing at the visible end of the sea. But such a scene no longer exists in the Gulf of Puerto Rico, and a large number of corals have died uncontrollably. Where did the crisis come from?

Where is the source of the problem? This drove me to find the answer.

The cause of coral death Sediment and pollutants can affect the quality of life of corals. When sediment and other pollutants enter the water, they suffocate coral reefs, accelerate the growth of harmful algae, and reduce water quality. Pollution can also make corals more susceptible to disease, hinder their groth and reproduction, and cause changes in the structure of food on the reef.

LOST IN TRANSLATION The city. You just couldn’t see an end to it. It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me.

It was what I didn’t see.

Under the appearance of rapid economic development, a busy city contains the fragile hearts of many commuters.

When the types of transportation are becoming more and more complex and there are more and more travel options, people have fallen into a situation where they are no longer convenient. The traffic situation in Shanghai is also a typical occurrence of traffic congestion. As a member of urban traffic, change may need to happen right now.

RESILIENT HABITATS IN THE INDUSTRIAL AREA OF CHONGQING Why are my eyes always brimming with tears?

Because I love this land so deeply...

The Chongqing Iron and Steel Plant was once the backbone of Chongqing’s economy, but it was gradually forgotten in the development of the times. Nowadays, walking through the path covered with fallen leaves, among the layers of branches, the blast furnaces, gas tanks, and high chimneys like “old antiques” are still standing. The kingdom of steel and the mechanical battlefield vaguely maintain the majesty and splendor of the past, but this Still can’t change the fate of the passage of time.

HISTORICAL TIMELINE AND CURRENT CONDITION

Bone ash

Seeds

Put together

This is a container of memory. The ashes of loved ones, friends, and pets will be kept here. A seed is stored in the container, and the ashes will nourish the seed wrapped in it, extending the value of life after it is gone.

Microbiological degradation Buried in heavily contaminated areas

When the ashes are put into the container, they can be buried underground. The container will expose a top in the ground, like a monument, carrying the memories of the dead before life. At the same time, the container is like a seed, about to break the ground.

Sprout

Release

Honor the deceased

The biofilm on the outer surface of the device is a sensitive indicator of the soil.

When the pollution of the soil decreases and the microbial activity intensifies, the biofilm will be decomposed by the microorganisms, and the seeds and ashes will be put into the soil.

The ashes nourish the wrapped seeds, allowing the seeds to take root and germinate. The trees emerging from the ground at this time also represent the rebirth of the dead, and in another way, continue life on this land.

According to the previous proposal of using different plants to solve different pollution types in different zones, the vegetation design was carried out. The site was would be into five sections according to the three habitat types in each of the five pollution areas, and 15 areas were divided.

The Density of habitats would change in the low-lying polluted areas.. At the same time, “The SEED” device would be placed in the location with serious pollution.In the end, the pollution in the site will be quickly absorbed and processed by plants, and the plants symbolizing hope in “the seed” will also pierce the degradable membrane and grow outside the device. As time goes by, after the degradable membrane is decomposed by the soil microorganisms, a piece of The lush forest was reborn. The departed would also go back to the nature.

A MOMENT LIKE THIS “Je n’ai jamais pour qui reste, et le coeur qui bat toujours.”

The device, A Moment Like This, is intended to simulate the rhythm of human heartbeat and breathing with the flickering of lights. When it is in calm, the breathe is also smooth and profound. When visitors approach, interactive devices will capture the moments of emotions such as holding hands and hugs in the crowd, and then it will present the inner activities that surge up rapidly between friends and lovers as lighting effects, colors and rhythms changing with the intimacy between people. People often say that love needs to be expressed. It is hoped that through this interactive installation, the introverted and reserved emotions of human can be presented with colorful effects in artistic installations, so that people can take pictures and record this passionate moment of life. It will become a new landmark of the New World at night for photography.

CONCEPT

SITE ANALYSIS

Inadequate Lighting

Lack of guidance

The lack of interaction

Narrow space

As an important entrance to a commercial street, the street enclosed by the tortuous buildings is too tortuous and narrow, and lacks guidance. At the same time, there is no light source with sufficient illuminance at night. And the whole passage has no interactive signs, and lacks the attraction of making people walk inward.

There is a black box

Light flowing inside

No one has ever seen the flowing light

To see the shape of light

When people saw this flowing light, they also entered a magical state.You can clearly hear your heart beating, you can hear your slow breathing, and the light is beating in your mind. The gesture you make, the light responds, and your emotions become part of the light for this moment.

Design Purpose: In order to attract the attention of passers-by and enable them to be attracted, enter the alley and increase the flow of people in the commercial area.

KINECT DIAGRAM

SKELETON SYSTEM IMAGE ANALYSIS

In order to make the interactive device run smoothly, we conducted motion input and lighting effects testing for about two months in the early stage.

The Kinect camera converts the detected 3D depth image to the skeleton tracking system, and uses the position change of the skeleton to determine the set action. We use the Kinect system to capture the envisioned motion. To ensure the accuracy of the lighting changes of the interactive device. The experimenter must repeat each action multiple times to synthesize a superimposed action video to form a skeleton change.

ACHIEVEMENT EXHIBITION

The installation presents a special lighting effect at night, so that passing tourists are unconsciously attracted by the lights, and participate in the interaction with the installation. In the different actions of the tourists, the light strips at the bottom of the acrylic board emit different colors under the control of the programming program.

The side elevation of the device presents a transparent effect, the parallel acrylic sheets are regular and orderly, and the LED lights are scattered and transparent on the sheets.
