According to Climate Central, low-lying parts of London will be permanently submerged in water by 2100. 80% of London’s wastewater treatment plants will be permanently inundated, which means great risks for the urban system.

Decomposing
Final Geo-engineering Model by CycleGAN Inspired by the attribute of mycelium to transfer wastewater into useful materials, here comes the proposal of Decomposing Temporalities, which is conceived to ecologically treat and transform wastes and formulate a thriving urban-ecosystems, integrating both urban infrastructures and morphologies. A series of 8 radical geoengineering models calculated by CycleGAN algorithm display increasingly permeated urban patterns and progressive capacities to treat wastewater. TemporalitiesUrban

Mycofiltrations are employed to filter wastewater within the ponds. Beyond this, with well designed prototypes, it’s believed that myceliums are potential to be oriented into architectural materials and form structures that are sustainable, flexible and easy to modify.

The experience of myceliums growth illustrates its eminent capacity of adaption, flexibility and extension, which is brilliantly inspiring. Thereby, urban morphogy derives from a couple of defined thresholds, blooming for several stages, forming more complex urban layouts, and assembling into architectures and even furnitures eventually.

Aquamarket Rendering Specifically, aquamarkets are distinctly devised to include human and nonhuman. With myceliums being incorporated to urban fabric, architectural design and daily life, we rethink the urban-ecology aesthetically, and reach a new degree of freedom of introducing living organisms into our built environment.

25Background and Location Design
In ancient China, artists tended to depict their spirits and perceptions, technically employing contrasts of void and solid in the painting works to creat the atmosphere; similarly, architects were committed to achieve varying spatial experience by fluctuating spaces. Here, ice crack pattern from Chinese classical garden are adopted to generate architectural patterns, with which changable and intriguing spaces are arranged to form a spacial narrative.

Architectural Typology Architecture and landscape typologies vary with shapes, materials and permeabilites, stimulating the solid and voil relations achieved by Early Spring by Xi Guo, 1072, a terrific Chinese traditional painting work. Thereafter, these basic typologies assemble into complex architectures or courtyards, to fill in ice crack layout.

Kids' Garden Kid's Garden Kindergarten
At the level of overall shape, the kindergarten adopts centripetal layout, with all units arranged around the circular atrium. For each unit, the wall and roof has a continuous folded form, bringing pleasant gray spaces. Also, the colors are distinctly devised. The shape of blooming colorful petals speaks to the garden concept.Hua Kid's GardenKindergarten
