Disappearing House This is a hypothetical project, and the inspiration originates from planned obsolescence within the industrial design profession. Will buildings be demolished at a quicker rate if planned obsolescence is extended to buildings as well?

URBAN LANDMARK Once the buildings of the "Disappearing House" project are constructed and put into use, they gradually begin to deteriorate. As the entire community becomes damaged, it slowly transforms into a new urban landmark.

THE GREAT WALL OF SAND

Desertification has long been a subject of concern across numerous fields. This project is studying how to use low-cost and fast methods to promote the symbiosis of humans, vegetation, and deserts. Based on the existing conditions of the desert, it is designed to use desert sand to make sandbags, and sandbags are piled up into walls to form an ecological community.

Exploring a way for humans and vegetation to coexist in the desert.

How to Prevent the Merging

Dune Research

Can we use the sand from the dunes and use local materials to make sand barriers? Ways to control sand: Make sand barriers.

At the same time, data on sand particles is investigated, and it is found that most of the sand is in the size range of 0.3-0.8mm. There is experimental evidence that the windward slope of the sand barrier can block the air at 60 degrees and begin to guide the air back

Material Study

For the study of the southward movement of sand dunes in the Badain Jaran Desert, the concept of using existing sand in the desert to transform and organize the southward movement of the desert is proposed. There is experimental evidence that the windward slope of the sand barrier can block the air at 60 degrees and begin to guide the air back.

Ocean Survivor The ocean was completely polluted when Tokyo Electric Power Company(TEPCO) in Fukushima, Japan drained all the polluted water from the storage tanks, leaving a large number of empty tanks. The design called for the reutilization of empty tanks and disposing of contaminated ocean water in a filtration system based on circulation operating the tank.

BACKGROUND NUCLEAR ACCIDENTS: FUKUSHIMA

The Japanese government has decided to initiate the discharge of nuclear contaminated water from Fukushima on August 24th.

Approx. 1 km

2023.8.22

2023.7.4

2011.4.12

The Japanese government has officially declared 2015.8 the severity of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident at the highest level of 7.

Tokyo Electric Power Company and the Japanese government guarantee in writing that they will not discharge nuclear contaminated water into the ocean until they are understood by local fishermen and other rele ant parties.

Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Grossie, presented a comprehensive assessment report on water contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear power plant to Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo.

The outlet of the discharge tunnel is installed in an area where no fishing is conducted on a daily basis*, and the amount of water in the area is estimated to be about 60 billion liters.

2011.3.11

A 9.0 magnitude earthquake occurred in the waters near Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The earthquake triggered a huge tsunami that hit the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing the core of Units 1 to 3 of the plant to melt down.

Japan’s largest power company, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc (Tepco), is set to dump into the ocean some 1.37 million cubic metres of treated water stored in more than 1,000 tanks after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident.

2022.7.22

The Japanese nuclear regulatory agency, the Atomic Energy egulatory ommission has officially recogni ed the nuclear contaminated water discharge plan of Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

WHAT CAN THEY BE USED FOR?

1.37 million tonnes of contaminated water are currently stored in these storage tanks.

Tokyo Electric Power Company and the Japanese government guarantee in writing that they will not discharge nuclear contaminated water into the ocean until they are understood by local fishermen and other rele ant parties.

What will be left after all the contaminated water is released?

Arc Series This is my graduation design project, which consists of three individual items: candlestick, magazine rack, and hand trolley, forming a series of furniture. It is mainly aimed at young people who want to pursue a quality life. Each item has a handle with the same curvature, and the surface is made of cowhide. The project drawings are then sent to the factory for production.
