Hello, my name is Zhiqi Liu. I am studying Spatial Design for my Bachelor's Degree and I am in the second semester of my third year.

In a future world where people can only consume frozen junk food, vitamin C deficiency will become a health challenge that cannot be ignored. Faced with this situation, I designed the C-Revive Retreat to provide people with real-time testing and supplementation of vitamin C.

C-Revive Retreat

This is the overall visualization of C-Revive Retreat. The space is designed to be open and comfortable, and the solar panels on the roof utilize natural light to generate electricity, which not only enhances people's wellness experience, but also strengthens the integration of sustainable living and nature, allowing people to relax in a natural environment while effectively replenishing their vitamin C.The C-Revive Retreat's strengths lie in its efficiency, convenience, and precision, allowing people to respond to the urgent need for vitamin C deficiency in a timely manner.

C-Revive Retreat Exploded View

This exploded view shows in detail the structural components of C-Revive Retreat. There are solar panels on the top and four VC Detectors on each side. There are four VC Armors in the central area, flanked on each side by enclosed spaces equipped with VC Sprayers called C-Spa. The floor features a Light Up Path, which allows people to have some self-reflection in the process through color changes.

C-Revive Retreat Section with Functions

This section shows in detail the internal structure and functions of the C-Revive Retreat. When people walk into the space they first enter the detection zone, which VC Detector automatically detects their Vitamin C needs and assigns them whether to wear the VC Armor or go to the C-Spa. During this process the Light Up Path gradually brightens and guides people to it.

VC Detector and C-Spa in Operation

This visual shows a man testing his body for the amount of Vitamin C he needs in front of VC Detector, which scans the body to assess the extent of Vitamin C deficiency caused by frozen junk food. A woman sits next to her and absorbs Vitamin C through sprayers inside the C-spa, which is designed for people who don't need much Vitamin C supplementation.

VC Armor and VC Sprayers in Charge

This visual shows VC Armor and VC Sprayers connecting to solar panels on the roof via charging cables to get power to give people vitamin C. VC Armor is used by people who need more vitamin C and is released into the body via microneedles. While C-Spa is for people who don't need a lot of vitamin C supplements, VC sprayers allows people to breathe and absorb the surface of the skin.

VC Armor Exploded View

This exploded view shows in detail the structural components of VC Armor. Temperature Detection Chips are used to measure body temperature, and head and back supports allow weak people to stand up straight. Vitamin C Auto Generator produces vitamin C and passes it on to the individual parts of the patch, which contains microneedles that release the vitamin C into the person's skin to be absorbed. VC Armor emits an orange light when it's running and goes out when it's finished.
