CONCEPT & PROGRAM

Memory Storage & Memory Implantation

Memory manipulation is a next-generation medical technology offers people a place to implant designed memory or preserve any period of memory during their entire life. This technique starts to be widely accepted by people all over the world due to global economic regression with growing international tensions and conflicts caused by COVID-19, an infectious disease. The decline of international capacity and rises of unemployment rate exacerbated public dissatisfaction with reality.

It is in this time, Retrieval established. We offer people an alternative reality which they might never experienced in thier life, a singer, movie star, or a spy, killer etc. In addition, our customers are able to store any period of memory in our database, so that they can access them anytime or as a will after they passed away.

All customers’ memory are securely transferred into a “pearl” which is a encrypted storage device for people re accessing their preserved memory in future days.

If you are a just visitor, once you enter into the building, the micro memory scanner would collect part of your memory, then you can choose to have your own machine-craft souvenir. It might be the first birthday present, a mug, a watch or a necklace.

Abstract Drawing

Memories occur when specific groups of neurons are reactivated. In the brain, any stimulus results in a particular pattern of neuronal activity—certain neurons become active in more or less a particular sequence.

Memories are stored by changing the connections between neurons.

Existing Structure Developed Structure

The hippocampus is part of the limbic system, and plays important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory, and in spatial memory that enables navigation.

Damage to the hippocampus or its nerve connections can cause amnesia (inability to learn and then recall new information). People with amnesia are unable to form new long-term memories, and they forget information soon after they hear or see it.

Advanced Construction

Free form building with facade prototype and constructive strategy

The course is to develop suitable construction and detailing solutions to contemporary architecture. Demonstrating skills in the detailing of complex building structures and envelopes. During the design process, advanced CAD/ BIM software were introduced into work flow, such as Revit, Grasshopper, Dynamo and so on in oder to prepare construction drawings and documentation to professional conventions.

The design outcome achieved by multiple different software into linear work flow.
