Human activities and natural disasters keep on producing and exhausting sewage into potable freshwater resources, causing water pollution. With the reduction of potable freshwater resources, the shortage of water for living beings will become a serious issue in the future. In 2060, the ecological floating bed robot keeps on automatically finding, and cleaning the polluted water resources and rebuilding the ecosystem during its working process. This picture shows the idea that a floating bed robot is floating in the river and bearing plants for clean water, by absorbing the chemical elements in the water. Also, those plants will provide habitats to animals like fish, ducks, birds, etc..

During the day, the floating garden will float on the river and stay in the water-polluted areas to clean the water. It will be part of the urban design as the extended part of the garden floats on the water's surface.

This shows how the floating gardens work during a flood. The robot will walk into the water and use its sensor, which can measure the concentration of chemical elements in the water, and look for the polluted water and begin cleaning it up

The Sitting Room is a project about a coffee store which is located on the 2nd floor in Building B in Monash Caulfield University. This shows a render I made, showing the design and the materials that are used in this project.

Biomaterial: Mycelium

Wave Wood was a work inspired by natural elements like branches of corals and tree trunks. Their textures look like waves of water and create a soft, flexible, and vibrant atmosphere. We designed three different heights of modules and one base for clients making their own sets. Wave wood can be used as dividers, acoustic panels, decorations, vases, etc. As an item of furniture, Wave Wood provides many potential functions for customers. This picture shows how it can work as decorations in the interior space.

Biomaterial: Mycelium

Wave wood is a project that shows the movements of natural elements. From the zoomed-in photo, the skin has varieties of colours that are not expected and caused by its growth. These colours are the myeclium’s interaction with the environment, which can be the most exciting part of biomaterial.
