This project is try to explore how the architecture would be in the future. Learning from nature always make architect get inspirations. This research start from one “wood magnified” photo. When we looking at this photo, we can imagine an urban scale form from it. We can see place of abode, the forest, lake and landscape, also we can see there has very busy transportation. So I try to explore the possibility of using this form as a reference to lead architecture design. By tracing the line work of this “wood magnified” photo, the whole plan of a city coming out. Combined every element of urban-planning, with the four elements- water, wind, air, and fire. That’s the gift from the nature.
This the second research uses techniques developed by the semiconductor industry and apply them to soft materials that can be flexed and stretched. This novel approach will help to bridge the gap between rigid electronics and that of soft, living matter. It allows the exploration of applications in prosthetics and tissue engineering. This Scanning Electron Microscope micrograph illustrates an experiment there is a matrix of micro features. The features are small enough for biological cells to detect and interact with. This would enable the research team to study how the surrounding environment influences the many decisions a cell needs to make during its life cycle. The image invokes analogies with a neural circuit. You can see several 'neurons'; their cell bodies are large and round. They even project axons which join together in a synapse, the site where the electrical signal from one neuron jumps to the next.
