We wanted to incorporate elements of interaction, playfulness and softness into our luminaire. The end product is a play on these three key characteristics.
It is positioned as a playful fixture in the day time for a child to meddle with, and a functinoal light fixture in the night for the child to settle into dreamland.
Design Beyond Zero
M.Arch Thesis Paper
Duration : 28 Weeks
Site : Ben Tre, Vietnam
The thesis speculates a mitigative and adaptive transition of a modern delta into a reimagined delta system. The productive ecosystems will be largely dependant on salt in seawater as a resource and through a time-based approach see through the incorporation of brackish - saline based systems. It acknowledges that existing delta deterioration (sinkage and shrinkage) is largely influenced by a multitude of factors, both climatic and anthropogenic.
Hence, the thesis will pivot from a trigger point when upstream communities decide to cut damming and remove existing dams from the delta system. Next, it proceeds to develop the scenario of when the river and sediment flows are replenished to pre dam levels through sedimentenhancing river diversions and begin the testing of using saline in the fully saline city through a naturalized desalination process. In the near future, there will come a time when the two process are incorporated and this leads to the formation of the City of Salinity - SALINICITY
The study is situated upon the Mekong Delta (MKD), with interventions conducted in the district of Ba Tri, Ben Tre, South MKD. The site is selected for its vulnerability in geography and productive importance in a larger context.
