Based on the rising unemployment rate of college students in China, we researched the employment pain points between students and enterprises, and set up a Creator Center at Zhuhai College of Jilin University in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, China, aiming to alleviate the problem of the difficulty of connecting university graduates with industry, academia, and research, and create the possibility of personalized careers for students.

Unemployment rate of Chinese college graduates is increasing year by year, and it is difficult to match employment, for this reason I researched the status quo pain points of the three parties: studentsenterprises - campuses.

Interviews at the School

I'm going to graduate school.

I've never worked in business before and I'm afraid I won't fit in.

We don't have time to teach new employees how to do anything! Don't they teach that in college?

I'm sorry, but there's just no way we can screen for exact matches.

I want to go to a position that is more personal to me.

I'd like to try another industry, but I don't know much about any of them.

NO INTEREST NO JOB!

Without competitive qualifications and experience, companies don't want me.

CONCEPT SPATIAL FORM

Redbird Makerspace is the core vehicle for the cross-fertilisation of different engineering disciplines and the emphasis on the concept of shared creativity education.

Maker Space

Reducing fixed partitions creates more flexible open planes; designing richer spatial partitions and creating conditions for activities with different levels of openness.

STEAMLINE

The long, narrow, continuous corridors are fragmented to achieve a visual link between different areas.

In recent years, China has been vigorously developing the construc tion of the Greater Bay Area, with diversified industries and a strong atmosphere of innovation; Zhuhai, which is located in the centre of the node, is connected to Hong Kong and Macao and has a high degree of openness to the outside world.

The project started from my own love for paper media, which expresses the interplay of human emotions better than electronic media. Therefore, I designed an pop up exhibition about "writing" at Zini Sugar Factory in Guangzhou.

Site Analysis

ZiNiTang is located in ZiNi Village (former ZiNi Sugar Factory), Shawan, Panyu, with the Shawan waterway encircling the whole island, covering an area of about 260,000 square metres, with innovative technology, traditional handicrafts, cultural creativity, art education, living and leisure businesses.

Perspective

The whole bazaar has different levels of openness, from the exhibition area, to the experience area and then to the sharing area, providing visitors with a variety of experiences in writing

The seating area is centred on the elevated floor, allowing one to find a piece of tranquillity in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city.

This is a thanksgiving education themed manor game design that satirises human cruelty through virtual reality games. Visitors experi ence a pig's perspective through a remote-controlled mechanical pig, interacting with real humans and re-enacting the domestication of pigs. Despite the player's efforts, the mechanical pig will eventually be slaughtered. At the end of the game, players can use their points to savour different levels of pork dishes at the Manor Restaurant, focusing on the unequal relationship between humans and pigs and provoking reflection on species equality and animal welfare.

Starting Point:Man's Treatment of Animals

In the Anthropocene, there are some cold and selfish human beings who regard themselves as the masters of the world, putting their own selfish desires above the lives of other species and committing a series of atrocities against them.

Creatures are equal. Theory

<Animal Liberation>

We must consider the interests of all living beings capable of suffering.
