The installation attempts to use space and interaction patterns to reflect the mutual influence and dependence of living creatures. As residents of coral reefs, fish cruise through the installation in the form of lights. Children who participating in interaction are physical reflections of the fish: participants can freely explore the special playground creating by different forms of coral on the site. Also, tapping the coral will trigger changes of light and sound.

We hope that the physical experience of interacting with coral installations can trigger participants to pay attention to the living conditions of coral reefs, to feel the close connection between humans and the ocean as well as marine life, and reflect on the impact of human activities on the ecological environment.

The second half of the design is based on my own interests after the research I did about coral. It propose a possibility of symbiotic relationship between human, algae and corals.

The coral reef is like a vibrant natural city, it got texture, it got colour, it got movement. —— Dr. Ruth Gate (Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology)

Location: Shanghai China

Among humans’ five senses, smell is a special one. Believing that the common memory created by sense of smell will not fade as time goes by, we designed this pavilion.

Composed of several sets of inclined cylinders, the pavilion is light and dreamy. As aroma itself is invisible, the pavilion is supported by a carefully designed tensegrity structure system. It is detached, suspended, and almost hidden at the height of the human nose, completely becoming a surreal aroma-carrying space. Each set of aroma-carrying unit is made up of two steel cylinders that act as a tensegrity structure. From different directions may come two strangers. As they run into each other right here, they may activate the aroma reminiscent of nature by chance. From the intersection onwards, strangers will continue to walk in different directions. Smell connects them, in more than one dimension.

The installation is located at a bustling crossroad, people can easily enter from different direction.

Radical Art: The Weaving Theatre

UAL 3rd Year Project

Location: Coldharhour Lane, Brixton, London

Tutor: Ursula Dimitriou & Dejan Mrdja

The Weaving Theatre is an atypical theatre which includes local shops and a performance space. Taking gender issue as a starting point, the whole project was developed with the focuses of trauma, informal therapy, movement etc. The theatre is designed for the performers as well as those who need curing or relaxing, where they can feel safe and cherished. The building includes spaces for different people and can satisfy different user requirements, from public to private, from quiet and intimate to open and sharing spaces.

The weaving theatre was designed based on a process of healing programmatically and spatially. Weaving is a hair salon service in Brixton for men or women, which at the same time represents the process of “weaving” their lives and improving their quality of life.

Manifesto: Challenge dichotomy between male and female, audience and performers, on stage and off stage. becoming vocal about new experience in gender and being healed through performance therapy.

UAL 2nd Year Project

Location: Piccadilly, London

Tutor: Andrew Friend

Reveal | Expose | Test | Speculate | Craft

For the first part of the year, our studio started with getting acquainted with the location and the activities going on in this area, and then consolidating this information into a fragment. The arcades around Piccadilly drew my attention when I first visited the area. I was attracted by the perspective of the arcades and felt a sense of being swallow by the space. Why? What is governing this? Who’s controlling this? What is behind these well-decorated arcade. Space? Lure? Desire?...

The site is located in Jermyn Street, where is in the centre of London, near Piccadilly Circus. It is a church garden at the moment where I surprisingly find it extremely quiet and peaceful. Therefore, an idea of creating a meditation space took shape. The whole project consists of three parts, a public garden, a restaurant and a main underground meditation space. It keeps the original function as a garden where people can chat, eat or enjoy the nature elements. The meditation centre is a place where people can spend some time on their own for a while and acquiring the inner peace.
