Preface The main idea of the portfolio revolves around the growing global environmental problems that have led to an uptight relationship between people people, space and society society. So it’s important that how an innovative approach to solving the problem with architectural thinking and perspective. Using design thinking and digital skills, exploring approaches to the design of interactive media, I designed some projects for people and realized that as an Architecture student, I had to be able to put my knowledge towards improving the living conditions of those less privileged and living under the line of poverty.

In my portfolio, using deconstruction and re-invention re-invention, I have worked towards trying to solve social problems from an architectural perspective for those people.

01 A monster guards the last rice field Characters: Monster and Tramps | Nov.2018-Jan.2019 | Site：Wuhan, China | Group work On the banks of the Chu River in Wuhan, a monster has been cultivating rice fields since ancient times, but with urbanisation the rice fields and farming civilisation have gradually disappeared.

The internal profile of the monster's body combines the monster's own purified water source, transports, collects, and evaporates water through its own "organs" to meet the needs of rice in various periods for water. At the same time, the monster also provides a habitat for humans without a permanent home. Land, the tramp can live on the monster's body by helping the monster to take care of the rice field

Ripe rice harvested by small harvesters and vagrants

Recycled wheat sheaves

Ⅰ Water absorption zone The monster's head water passages are used to collect large quantities of water from the Chu River

Ⅱ Water purification zone The belly part of the monster is the purification of the water, the waste water is treated and turned into irrigation water and domestic water

Ⅲ Water Interaction Zone The tail section is a resting and playing area for vagrants and residents, and allows water to be drawn from the rice fields for irrigation

On a windy day, everyone passed under the monster, marvelling at the monster in the city centre, while the tramp worked inside the monster's body, allowing the monster to water the rice fields.

02 The Shell of Collecting and Praying for rain characters: India local people | Nov.2019-Jan.2020 |

| Individual work

To solve the problem of extreme water scarcity in India and the lack of space for rain rituals, I designed a rainwater collection shell that would allow people in India to worship and prostrate.
