PROJECT 1 I Martian Legacy

PROJECT 1 I Martian Legacy

‘MARS’ DOME SYSTEM

The connection between Mars, a planet 34 million miles away, and us, the ordinary majority can be inevitably ambiguous, or critically fictional.

In the context of an upcoming new space race, the project suggests a multifaceted spirit for NASA’s journey to boost public interest: The enthusiasm for the unknown, as well as the mundanity, reality and challenges of space exploration.

PROJECT 3 I Filtering To Grow

GROWING FILTERING CITY The future city will grow over time by accumulation, through a collect and distribute system. A frame of filtering filaments are proposed to gather existing discarded environmental waste to re-manufacture into architectural materials for distribution.
