Bank of Shanghainese

This project proposes a bank of Shanghainese language, a bank of Shanghai memory. The philosophy of this design is to create an urban strategy that reacts to the ever-losing local vitality and identity under the background of highly developed communication technology and restores Shanghai?s generic trends.

hashtag#trash#ShanghaiCarnival

In this future of Industry4.0, we experimentally explore how Shanghai can respond to our needs for the awareness of trash sorting and recycling, which is a recent local policy that is contextualized by the global trend of eco-cities. We create a complex infrastructure that incorporates the function of trash facility and the culture of a local amusement park.

GANBABEL

This evolution can only be explained clearly and thoroughly by the local people in local language and characters, but also make the local people have a strong sense of intimacy and belonging.
