Awarded：Concept Design Award
Project Name：Snow Defender
Project Link：http://www.goldenpin.org.tw/project/snow-defender/
Concept：
In the cold zone, the problem of snowing often affects the cultivation of the greenhouse.
Not only does the snow cover the sun on the roof, but it also affects the indoor
temperature. Resistance to cold farming areas can be properly cultivated.
Azobenzene is a material that can store the heat released by the sun when it is exposed to
sunlight, and release the heat at night. It can melt the snow of the epidermis, and pass the
filtered water through the filter back to the underground storage.

Project Name：Chemistry VR Lab
Concept：
The survey shows that there are 96% of accidents occurred in junior high schools because of students’ carelessness. Therefore, schools must enhance their attitudes and knowledge about operational safety in the laboratory. Using the “Chemistry VR Lab” can improve learning effect and create a better experience, It can also change learners learning attitudes. Learners can try and experiment in the virtual world while they can’t in the real world. It can not only enable the user to try but also teach the user how to the do when encountering the emergency situation step by step.

Project Name：Fun with Relics
Project Link：https://www.behance.net/gallery/80907279/Fun-with-Relics
Concept：
Relic is the carrier of history and culture. The way to inherit it has always been an issue of common concern. Turning the periphery area into happy space is the issue we try to get over. October 2016, Quito Declaration based on Richard Sennet’s city thesis was adopted at the United Nations Conference. It makes us think that what would it be like if we apply the city thesis to the relics? Will it turn into a happy space for people? This design increases new imagination and possibilities of relics renascence.
This design chose Agenna Shipyard Relics as the site to renascence. By studying the borders and the behaviors, new organization is created, constantly interwining into the old frame of Argenna. At the same time, echoing the unique history with narratives deepens the local connection to the ground, and arouses people’s associations.

Project Name：VOICE: Meditation Cabin
Concept：
The main concept of the design is “voice”. The structure of the cabin is based on cube, combined with three different sizes of geometry-shaped sound tube to space combination. Trying to find the most comfortable space atmosphere for people to talk with the forest. Meditator can talk with nature and express your own heart to nature with the meditation cabin where the meditator can hear more ideas.
The three themes of the meditation cabin are sun, voice and reflection which to get different meditation experiences. Although in the small spaces (under 15 square meters) which for living and meditation space, it can be used three kinds of spaces to concentrate and enlarge the gradual changes naturally to feel the spacious atmosphere. Under the gaze of nature, it gives us a high quality of meditation wooden cabin.

Project Name：濾/綠化隔音圍籬
Concept：
Air pollution is an urgent environmental issue needed to be solved. Its emissions of vehicles and PM 2.5 cause acid rain and pollution. Barriers are the highest interface contacting traffic flow. Moss can grow on the roadside in emissions, also can absorb vehicle emissions as nutrient. It’s why we hope to improve pollution problems through the combination of these.

Project Name：Convertible Hospital
Concept：
Each year , 1,000 or more people die in the war because when military conflicts between two or more organizations，including wars and armed conflicts that are taking place throughout the world and continuing to result in violent deaths.
There are many organizations fighting in Syria, including the Islamic State, the Syrian opposition and the Syrian government. A convertible hospital provides the most immediate medical emergency in the country which often happened war such us Syria, Israel, Palestine, Ukraine and Iraq. When the war happened, in addition to downsizing the entire building to below the ground, building blocks can be quickly remove and be shipped by helicopter to the surrounding areas. The idea of building is originated from China’s traditional skills – Luban lock. “Luban Lock” is a three-axis combination of building blocks, there are several forms, the six groups of the most common and six different blocks combined with each other into a square. Until today, some rural carpenters in China, “Luban Lock” are still handed down from generation to generation. The design of the building block is also the same as the Luban lock has six types. Those six types respectively emergency room, surgery room, recovery room, classrooms, connecting corridors and the block with lightweight material which can be separated at any time. The way to decrease the building is the groove of wood structure combined each other, and use a vertical elevator as a support for the building. With this convertible hospital, the most effective combination of the medical field is made and can be combined with the upper and lower. These areas of medicine are effectively protected on the ground when a war takes place and they can extend their lives and provide better health care and learning for people in countries where war zones are frequent.

Project Name：SEMI-ARTIFICIAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS SYSTEM (S.A.P.S.)
Concept：
The SAPS mimics the root and stem and leaves of plants for semi-artificial photosynthesis. At the roots, we will give the water supply system within the building. In this artificial photosynthesis system, we bionic the roots, stems, veins, and leaf tissue of plants by 3D printing. We print the veins of the water in the frame of the curtain wall, which includes the water needed before photosynthesis. There are three layers of tissue in the frame, the upper cover (tempered glass), the cell frame(middle frame), the lower plate, and the artificial cells in the middle.

Project Name：Bioilluminant
Concept：
The natural resources of ambient light is usually being sacrificed by the tinted window film, but using bioilluminant can solve this problem. In addition to the direction and illuminance of the light can be controlled just like curtains, the water medium also can reduce the temperature conductivity. To make good use of the natural resources and decrease the waste are the main issue that we aim to solve.
