This week I’m mainly focused on the Project Laboratories on Thursday. Our group theme is climate change. The story background is in 2250. Due to climate change, the sea level has risen. There has no land on the earth anymore. Therefore, the whole human society moves to the sea. They build floating cities. And for us, we have a fashion company, which is multifunctional. It included a design studio, gallery, art cafe, runway, administration department, international logistics department and self-sufficiency garden. We call the scene “LOOP.”
One of my inspirations is the “AntiRoom Pavilion”- a self-built structure in MALTA by Ahmad El Mad, Elena Chiavi, and Matteo Goldoni. They did it in 2015. The light structure free floating on the sea. It’s an ideal future architectural image in my mind.
Meanwhile, I also add Apple Park in my reference. The headquarter building of Apple sets in a beautiful landscape in California. It is a multifunctional building with office areas, an internal garden, design studios, social spaces etc. The building is a perfect self-defence system for the unpredictable future.

Based on my research, I decided to use my architectural skills to make a virtual model first. It helps our group to describe the whole story well to audiences.
The final vision of the building has a self-sufficient garden, office area, and runway. It has its own ecological cycle system on the sea.
In addition, the rest of my group also contributed to the construction of the LOOP world: Queenie worked on the political background of the future, Keer on the human psychology of the world, Ning on the fashion trends of the future, Roxy on transport and Sara on imagining her career in LOOP. We couldn’t have brought LOOP to life without everyone’s contribution!
