Rethinking the Ecological Balance

Site: Shenzhen, Guangdong,

There are enormous ecological disasters in today's invasion, and climate warming. In the final analysis, required by human beings and the ecological environment beings can expand their own field. lt can accommodate protect the diversity of species. At the same time, human the integration of the ecological This project alleviates the urban energy crisis through Noctiluca, and also solves the red tide crisis caused by the The algae and human ecology are mutually inclusive

world - the rapid proliferation of pests, biological analysis, it is the conflict between the ecological environment environment of other creatures in nature, so l hope that human accommodate the ecological environment of other creatures and human beings can also obtain the energy they need through ecological environment . through the unique bioenergy and biological lighting of the eutrophication of water bodies through this system. and complementary to create a self-sufficient biocity.

Finance

Energy Change

After the subprime mortgage crisis, Shenzhen has been developing rapidly and urbanization is progressing rapidly. The increase in productivity has led to an increase in energy consumption in Shenzhen, and even though the city has several thermal and nuclear power plants, there is still a shortage of energy.

China has proposed the concept of carbon neutrality in 2020, indicating that the Chinese government is aware of the energy crisis and pollution problems caused by China's development, and that the carbon emissions of cities need to be taken into account in the future.

Since the beginning of China's reform and opening up, Shenzhen's real estate industry has developed rapidly, immediately consuming the few pieces of land in Shenzhen, resulting in a very high density of buildings and rising property prices, making it too expensive for people to buy and rent property, thus leading to a very serious housing crisis.

The algae are used as food for nightshade algae and need to be photosynthesized, so I put them in a separate open-air pool for cultivation. This culture pool can be used as a landscape pool to absorb carbon dioxide from the environment, and can also become feed for some fish.

Platymonas culture tank

The cadaverine and hydrogen sulfide produced during the decomposition of dead algae can be used as raw materials for bioenergy generation, providing electricity for carbon dioxide collection and injection, and even having excess electricity to supply people's daily lives

Biomass Power Generation

CO2 injection system

We collect the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans and inject it into the liquid to keep the macroalgae active so that the luminescent algae have enough food to glow

We placed the algae in a constant light environment at (20 ± 3) ℃ with 12 h of darkness and 12 h of light, and mixed them with macroalgae to slow down the speed of the mixing fins to ensure that all organisms were not disturbed before entering the luminescent pipeline.

Sedimentation Tank

In the luminous device, we separate the public area from the private area, and the luminous device collects and transmits the light from inside to the public area through fiber optics

The liquid is then transported to the private space after the light has been emitted once, absorbed the carbon dioxide and returned to the light-emitting device.

The separation tank separates the dead algae from the surviving algae, the dead algae will settle by gravity, the separated algae will be transported to the bioenergy generator and the living algae will be transported to the culture tank for further feeding

THE PARAMETRIC SIMULATION

By simulating the movement of algae in the ocean vortex, we were able to design pipes that allow the algae to flow in one direction within the building, allowing the luminous algae to remain active while providing light and bioenergy to the people inside the building.

Fixing Anchor Points Determining Influence

Place multiple building blocks in the bay, and with these blocks as the center, create anchor points in grasshopper and the surrounding models will be pulled by the anchor points and start rotating.

Increase Vertical Impact Determine the Location of the Tower Optimize the Curves of Building Forms

After determining the location of the tower, I applied a stronger force to it than I would have otherwise, simulating water falling from a height, and the greater water pressure would also result in a stronger bioluminescence.

Sweeping Architectural Forms Optimizing the Building Shell

Integrating the discrete lines, then sweeping the lines and then patching the shell in some way, makes the interior space more usable.

I extracted the aesthetic Samothrace, assembled the lines into a prototype and translated it into architecture. architecture and the possibility of further aesthetics with architecture.

I have used the most regular lines of the chest of The Winged Victory of Samothrace as the main reference for this design. The distinguishing lines of the geometric surfaces are listed as the thickest first group, the lines of the pleated sections as the moderate second group, and the light and shadow dividing lines as the thinnest third group. I recorded the control points of the lines and the angles between them. The three groups of lines were also reassembled into a three-view, distinguishing between tangent lines and look lines according to the thickness of the lines, and the aesthetic prototype was created according to this three-view.

As the structure of the aesthetic prototype many more aesthetic lines to the interior of each other and enrich the structure of the interspersed and can be felt

The rise of nuclear power began with an ideal starting point. In recent years, the global energy industry are trying to mitigate climate change by deciding on carbon emissions plan. All world countries are looking for developments of clean energy, and nuclear power is a way to solve the problem of growing electricity usage.

In 2021, Japan Scheduled a plan to deal with Fukushima nuclear wastewater - release them to the ocean with certain dilution. In April, Japanese authorities decide to execute this project in Spring 2023. Obviously, polluting nuclear wastewater into the ocean is such an immeasurable disaster for the ecosystem for the whole planet. To settle it, we are looking for a new solution from an Architecture perspective.

STATUS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY SCARE

To promote strengths and avoid weaknesses of nuclear power, a new cycle system is proposed. Based on the original nuclear power system, we bring further improvementslooking for an opportunity to let the nuclear power plant can conter nature disasters and solve nuclear waste.

A new prototype has been chose. We choose electric towers as prototypes for the transformation of nuclear power plants.

When the eight laser beams focused on the target simultaneously, the impacted area of the target was rapidly compressed and heated to form a surrounding plasma. Subsequently, two ion beams were produced by the lasers interacting with the target, one moving from top to bottom and the other from bottom to top in the plasma. The two beams could collide and create a fusion reaction at thecenter of the plasma if the kinetic energy of the colliding deuterium ions was sufficient.After a series of comprehensive treatments, this purification unit converts nuclear waste into inactive inert substances.

The ruins of the Taimiao Temple in Lin'an City of the Southern Song Dynasty are located in the residential area of the West Lake Scenic Area, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. With a history of more than 1000 years, it is the earliest sacrificial architecture that has been excavated in China. Due to the limited technology at that time, the temple site could not be displayed to the public. Instead, the Southern Song Dynasty temple site park was built on the original site. However, this park has separated the cultural fusion of ancient and modern times, the order of the entire residential area, and the connection between the Tai Temple and the Wu Mountain Scenic Area. The style and features of the Imperial Ancestral Temple were not shown to the people.

ELEMENT EXTRACTION

I have extracted elements from the Zhenghe tripod of the Southern Song Dynasty excavated here and hope to make a more contemporary approach to architectural design and site design with an ancient flavour, so that this under-utilised site can be reintegrated into the period.

AERIAL VIEW OF THE SITE

We found radar soundings of the site of the Southern Song Imperial Temple and found that there were a number of temple sites beneath the site that needed to be protected and we marked them up, which would become an important element of the design.

I protected all the sites by cladding them and connecting them with previously refined curves, creating a sunken square that protects the sites from the sun and allows people to see them inside through small side windows.

HANDMADE MODEL PHOTOS

A 1:1000 hand-made model was created to optimise the placement of the columns to optimise the dominance and connectivity of the whole building within the site, replacing the original central axis of the temple with a visual guide that also attracts people from the surrounding area into the site for various activities and stimulates the vitality of the site.

FLOOR PLAN OF EACH FLOOR

I also added the previously extracted line elements in the building plan to make the internal space of the building more flexible and versatile, and the reasonable flow line also allows people to visit the building in a single line while also allowing people to experience different spatial feelings.
