"BREATHLESS" UNDERWATER WORLD MARINE CARBON CYCLE
The marine world has developed into a huge undersea community, however, human activities have threatened the oceans with excessive greenhouse gas emissions, overfishing, and large amounts of plastic waste pollution, which has led to an increase in the temperature of the sea water year after year, and a serious phenomenon of coral bleaching, especially in Indonesia, which is home to one of the largest coral colonies.
The flow diagram illustrates the carbon cycle and its Impacts on coraland periphyton-centered organisms

PERSPECTVIE RENDERING
BREATHING SHELL After the previous hand-built experiments, we put the prototype into a specific use scenario, using Jimbaran Beach in the Philippines as the site, to extend the practical use of the prototype:
ORIGAMI SURFACE
The “Breathing Shell” is a device that use the origami surface tested earlier as its skin and designed to mimic the shape of sea urchins or shells.

ADJUSTING LIGHT
When the ambient light intensity changes, the origami surface is retracted to adjust the luminosity through the skin.
LED COLOR CHANGING
Distance sensor senses when a person is approaching and changes LED color
Based on different environmental situations, the sensors will sense this information and feed it back into changes in the shape of the epidermis, reflecting differently in the use and visual presentation of the device
CAN OYSTER FARMING CONTINUE TO SURVIVE IN LAU FAU SHAN? Oyster farming in Lau Fau Shan has a history of hundred years and now come to a standstill due to water pollution in Deep Bay and the unique mudflat topography of Lau Fau Shan has been filled in by human activities. However, the wishes of local producers and residents run counter to the government's development plans. Oyster farmers seek continuation of oyster farmibg industry admist harship.

DESIGN STRATEGY
As one of the most productive and sustainable production systems, chinampa plays an important role in the lives of the people of xochimilco. The design strategy is based on the restoration of chinampa production in the xochimilco wetlands,in collaboration with farmers, NGOs and government agencies.
The following strategies may be helpful.
