Team member: Rubaiyat Ur Rahman / Samuel Oluwaseyi Akogun

Shennong, a figure in Chinese mythology, is credited with teaching ancient Chinese agriculture and inventing various farming tools.

Today, we aim to redefine agriculture with eco-friendly practices and new technologies. In Pengdi, just like the Shennong taught our ancestor how to farm, we demonstrate the potential of this new industry while prioritizing environmental sustainability.

The Third Space Thirding as Other

Under the Taipei Huashan Central Culture Park (the first space), there is an underground tunnel (the second space) lying quietly.Compared with the silent underground tunnel, the upper park is lively and vibrant and both of them did not perceive each other.

How to integrate each other's spacital character without losing their subjectivity and creat a different space(the third space). on the premise, I choose Soja's Third Space Theory to manipulate my design.

The surge in digital food delivery services during the Covid-19 outbreak led to a surge in paper container waste. The recycling volume of paper containers in Taiwan almost tripled, prompting me to investigate waste management practices.

Using infographics, I demonstrated the coexistence of NIMBY facilities and the waste issue. To raise awareness, I used a satirical approach, imagining a pastoral dystopia. The project highlights the need for a more sustainable future.

Instructor : Lindsey Wikstrom

The construction industry contributes to carbon emissions and global warming. In class, we studied this issue from multiple perspectives. To educate players on the impact of their choices, I created a hand-drawn board game based on Monopoly.

The game aims to achieve zero emissions by making choices triggered by events within the game, encouraging players to consider the future of humankind.

From Fifity-one Billion to Zero Carbon Emission

“There are two numbers you need to know about climate change. The first is 51 billion. The other is zero. Fifty-one billion is how many tons of greenhouse gases the world typically adds to the atmosphere every year.”

Le Corbusier's Maison Dom-Ino, a prototype using beams, columns, walls, and panels, is the foundation of modern buildings. Similarly, clothing is composed of front and back patterns, split into left and right sections, known as the Basic Bodice Pattern.

Applying architectural principles to clothing design allows for innovation and functionality while remaining grounded in fundamental design principles, creating practical, aesthetically pleasing garments.

ANALYIZE CARBON COMPUND TO CONTROL THE FORMULA

During former process, I realize that without a limit the formula will end up in carzy operations. In order to prevent the situation, I analyize the sturcture of carbon compunds such as polymer, fuller ball, and daimond. Therefore, the formula can be rule and creat the garments which are based on something we can understand and review.
