In the book “ The Origin of Species,” Darwin believes that natural selection is the driving force of biological evolution. Individuals who adapt to the environment will survive, and those who do not adapt will be eliminated, which extinctions happens five times already.

The purpose in this design proposal is to imagine a scenario what could still remain what if the human race becomes extinct under some unpredictable reasons and how can we tell the achievement that we had reached or should we give some suggestion for the after life-form?

What is more, after we did some researches of human achievement, we found that species all share similar genetic sequence, which is DNA. In order to survive more than 3 billion years, it changed/ transformed/ evolved to express the various sequence on the Earth. Every DNA sequence has its meaning and represent “cooperation and symbiosis”, which are the key to this competition.

Human and salmon share the same habitat

Competition: The 2020 COTE Top Ten For Students

Team: Shanle Lin, Luming Xiao, Feiran Zou

Tutor: Omar Al-Hassawi

Project Type: Carbon-neutral Mixed-use Development

Salmon and huan live together in the same environment

Description: imagine a inovative habitat merges human living with the natural environment and creats a harmonious relationship between the two. It provides a one-of-a-kind experience that bridges the gap between huamns and nature.

This project develops the space that below and above water. It proposes a habitat underwater to addresses the declining salmon population. It offers a mixed-use development above water that addresses the need for localized food production. To further understand how the sensitivity of these connections, the project produces mainly two solutions to minimize the adverse impacts, that is, waterland restoration and self-supplied food system.

The project encourages the integration of ecological, economic, social, and cultural environments within Vancouver waterfront, which is relevant and applicable to surrounding waterside cities in the nation as well as globally.

User is observing and interacting with the structure

Description: Imagine a structure that can sense a user's mood and alter its internal color scheme to affect their emotions. It even has the ability to stretch and manipulate its form to alter the enclosed space within, creating rooms.

What if our surroundings could impart information regarding unarticulated sentiments and serve as an expansion of mind and physique? How might we establish a mutual relationship between the human psyche, anatomy, and constructed surroundings, enabling them to mold one another?

Wisteria constitutes a projection of its visitors' psyche and anatomy. It is an emotive, intelligent installation that responds in real-time to individuals' emotions through the analysis of biological and neural data. This project empowers visitors to modify the hue and configuration of the installation through their brainwaves and emotions. Utilizing artificial intelligence, wearable technology, affective environments, and flexible architecture, we have crafted an emotional connection between a space and its inhabitants, fostering positive emotional interactions between the two.

Residents are using the environment

Description: Imagine a structure that can sense a user's mood and alter its internal color scheme to affect their emotions. It even has the ability to stretch and manipulate its form to alter the enclosed space within, creating rooms.

The site plays the role of an extension for the colleges district around. However, all the High-level education institution in the north are separate with the south region of the University district, where the site located. The geographic position of the site serves a corridor of the Spokane to connect the students and community in between.

The program tries to provide a medical practicing room for students to gain experience; at the same time, make contribution community better health care. Besides, they can learn the knowledge of editable vegetation, what is guided by communities, knowing how to live with healthy food.

Architecture is not a cold living machine but a nest to grown happiness.

1. Divide the site into three main areas for functional needs.

3. Adapt circulation as the datum connecting the three courtyards.

5. Place programs around with the circulation.

2. Introduce courtyards to optimized the spaces.

4. Vertical design around the three main cores.

6.A community center that brings the friendship to the users.

Affordable housing is a significant issue in modern society, The space can transform to be use for community and Energy...

Competition: Hackahouse 2019

Project Type: Affordable Housing

Award: Third Place

Software Used: SketchUp, AutoCAD, Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, Lumion

My Role: Design, Research, Modeling, Diagramming

The house transforms back into a habitation during the night

Description: Imagine a dwelling that, during the day in rural areas, transforms its upper level into a solar panel to generate energy, reverting to a living space in the evening. In urban areas, the upper level transforms into a gathering platform for people, returning to its function as a dwelling at night.

Affordable housing is a significant issue in modern society. Our team tried to reduce the economic pressure of users in the future living process through the simple spatial transformation and functional redefinition. In this environment, the development of the small and midsized Cities are going to the bottleneck, that is, not every citizen can own an amenity space to live, and privileged rights. To access to the essential services, like utility fees, education and social platform.

In short, this project is a practical solution solving the settlement catastrophe, which is around three keywords: affordable, adaptive, and involved.

How to define the space?
