Earthworm- Refuge is a product of the future world, it explains the functionality in the face of disaster, it also provides a good opportunity to give people the space to live outdoors in the dilapidated land. The project incorporates digital modeling (grasshopper) into the local scene through a brief, a shelter that contrasts sharply at night with the dilapidated houses and land on the outside. The test site is in China. Earthworm-Refuge provides a safe survival environment for people in the future world through the combination of biotechnology and digital modeling.

Observing the daytime of Earthworm- Refuge from the first perspective, it can be seen that the appearance of the day is very different from the night, which is also part of the outdoor function of the shelter. The honeycomb structure covering the outer layer also functions as a solar panel, which can charge the internal lights well during the day. At the same time, when the night comes, a layer of soft plastic covering the honeycomb structure provides good protection.

Earthworm- Refuge assumes a scenario-based and speculative future, through the collection of existing materials, to temporarily build a shelter for survival. Looking at the interior from the perspective, the future protagonists add warmth to the small space by collecting battered mattresses and chairs from the outdoors. Although the equipment is very simple, it still gives people hope of survival. At the same time, because of the intervention of solar energy during the day, the internal light strips set in the shelter also played a role.

In order to survive better in this land, the protagonist of the future world meets his basic survival by collecting materials (mattresses, chairs) in the surrounding area. However, the loneliness and harsh environment of the apocalyptic world often prevent him from going out normally. Although Earthworm- Refuge guarantees him a living space, he still needs further entertainment and development. In such a scenario, with no access to the Internet, the phone network has collapsed, all public transportation has been suspended, and books have become his best companions, and at the same time, through reading books, he has more survivability in the future.

In this picture, the inner space and entry and exit of the Eatworm-Refuge are clearly seen through the section, and it also shows how the shelter operates. By connecting the two houses and inflating the shelter to form an independent space . At the same time, the other two extended parts of the shelter are used as import and export. In addition, the shelter does not have any other way to enter, which ensures the safety of the internal personnel. At the same time, in the event of a dangerous situation, because the space separation device is designed inside, the internal personnel can be guaranteed by abandoning part of the main body of the shelter to provide their own safety.
