SEASONAL PLANTING

Students' mental conditions are affected by weather/temperature/schedule and other factors. Seasonal planting, which provides various color/smell and sense of touch throughout the whole year, can specifically help with different disorders.

For the main six disorders, different combination of plants are designed. For example, blue and purple flowers can help people calm down which suits people suffering from irritability, while orange and yellow can light up people's mood and drive away depression.

BRICK CORRIDOR -------HERITAGE PROTECTION AND FUTURISTIC RENEWAL OF THE GREAT WALL

The Great Wall is one of the most magnificent landscape heritages in China, with a history of more than 3000 years. It stretches across China from east to west, with a total length of more than 1800 kilometers. It spans a variety of climatic zones, landforms, natural landscapes and ethnic regions. It can be said to be a double collection of Chinese culture and geography.

The protection of the Great Wall has always been a serious problem. Due to the different landforms and climates of each section of the Great Wall, the erosion such as wind and sand erosion, sun erosion and related natural problems such as water and soil loss are complicated and difficult to manage as a whole. At the same time, the traditional passive protection means have limited effect and lack of breakthrough. The Great Wall under passive protection also has a single function in terms of sightseeing, which is difficult to radiate new vitality.

It should be interesting to try a new way of protection and utilization. While maintaining the basic structure of the Great Wall, I tried to create new functions tailored to the Great Wall, so that it has new practical value and is thus retained for a longer time.

The basic components of the Great Wall are bricks. According to the characteristics of bricks and future new technologies, I replaced the original red bricks with newly transformed bricks, bringing the Great Wall fresh values, including clean energy collection, rainwater collection, cemetery commemoration, etc.

Multifunctional Bricks Replacing Original Ones

Bricks which form every part of the original great wall, will be replaced by new technical bricks that can take advantage of different natural resources where the great walls are located, and will serve brand new functions in engineering, ecology, clean power and tourism areas.

Multifunctional Beacon Towers And Brick Roads

People built those beacon towers and long walls with bricks mainly, and after replacing the original bricks, the new technical bricks form new beacon towers. Different from the original bricks, technical bricks need to be placed in special patterns to make the biggest use of nature resources and suit special usages.

CO2 collection bricks use light to draw chlorela which can collect CO2, so to make sure every brick has sufficient contact with water is most important. Special interval arrangement is introduced to make sure of that.

Wind power bricks collect static electricity when wind blows through the holes and slim films inside vibrates. The point is to receive wind as strong as possible, so the tower is unusally tall and needs metal support.

Solar power bricks receive sunlight and turn it into electricity, and the receive surface collects sunlight best when it's 45° to the sunlight. And the more bricks are exposed in sunlight, the more energy it can produce.

Rainwater collection beacon tower needs to make as many of the upper surfaces of the bricks contact with rainwater as possible, so it is designed in the shape of a huge funnel, to collect the precious water.

VR experience beacon tower is build on the base of Damaged Remains of the Great Wall. It looks usual on the outside, but once get inside it , tourists will be offered wonderful VR experience about the Great Wall.

Energy storage roads are made of energy storage bricks, and as the need of energy is continuously changing, the bricks also keep come and go, forming different shapes, serving as seats or sculptures.

Memorial grave roads are made of memorial bricks that carries the ash and name of the dead, and provide a place for the living to sit down and memory their family and friends, maybe even put some offerings.

The huge pyramid is made of memorial bricks. When relatives come to visit, they can pull down the corresponding bricks with cables. The sky light blocked by the pyramid pours down from the empty passage.

Wireless power transmission towers are tall and in a shape similar with an antenna. Those towers are located mainly on mountain tops and forms a wireless power transmission net to support power need.

Power transmission road serve as a huge wire across thousands of miles and transmit electricity from place to place. Metal bracket supports the brick-wire and keeps it from too much heat or strike.

Rainwater collection road needs as many bricks exposed to the rain as possible, and be stable as possible because after filled with water the bricks can be heavy, so its cross section looks like a triangle.

The upper part of the aircraft is the part where passengers can enjoy the trip. Passengers can rest in the rest tank and interact with the aircraft's AI. They can walk to the outer circle to view the scenery through the transparent shell on the footpath and stop where they need.

General Design Of The Small Aircraft

The aircraft is light, stable and flexible, and its main function is to transport passengers and bricks. The brick transport cabin exists in the form of a detachable magnetic suspension ring. The bricks are stored in categories for the best experience of tourists. The aircraft shell is made of transparent materials and a circular footpath is designed for the passengers to view the beautiful scene. The lower half of the housing can be rotated to open, so that the telescopic manipulator can access the bricks from the open cabin.

The aircraft stops at one side of the beacon tower. Passengers can access the beacon tower through the retractable footpath.

Passengers can visit the nearby Great Wall with the beacon tower as the base, and the lower part of the aircraft takes or supplements the bricks of the beacon tower and the long wall.

A larger part of the vehicle is occupied by the power structure which is made of a number of small jet engines, and the brick transport structure which is designed as two rings and divided into 12 identical section. The aircraft is designed to be light weighted and as flexible as possible.

BRICK TRANSPORTATION STRUCTURE

Two round brick cabins are suspended in the middle of the aircraft using a magnetic levitation structure.

BRICK TRANSPORTATION CABIN

Six kinds of bricks are carried from place to place in twelve transportation tanks.

Main Driving Shaft

The most important structure of the aircraft, connects the engine and the rest tank.

TANK / GAS TRANSMISSION PIPE

Fourteen transmission pipes carries gas from the fuel tank to the jet engine.

CORE POWER STRUCTURE

The core part of the aircraft, including the main driving shaft, fuel tank and the jet engine. Small but sophisticated, allows the small aircraft to shuttle flexibly through the air.

Jet engine circle around the shell allows it to move in every direction.
