This is a concept model of a public rubbish bin. It is designed under a hypothesised situation, where I create this design for the Melbourne Council, as a product to promote Environmental consciousness, and to rise Melbournians' rubbish recycling awareness. This design contains some design elements of origami. Each coloured triangular lids represents the different types of rubbish: cans, plastics, paper and general waste. Graphics on the floor are used to enhance its interaction with the general public.
A small green house is installed in the rubbish container (locating beside the pink lid, where the red flower is), it is a point of scale display used to rise people's awareness against green house effect, and should consist change of display through out four seasons of the year. The rhombus shaped like gap and green triangular panels are planting areas, which is designed to promote the beauty of nature and green technology.
One of my favourite skyscraper, Capital Gate of Abu Dhabi, also know as the leaning tower of Abu Dhabi. It is recognised by the public media such as the Guinness Book of World Record to be the "World's furtherest leaning man-made tower". It leans 18 degree towards Westward, which is around 4 times of the leaning church of Suurehusen. This project is hosted by the RMJM, they used the technique called "pre-cambered core" to encounter its enemy (Gravity), which means the reinforced concrete core of the tower is built slightly off the centre of the building, in order the balance its weight distribution. The building also has a diagrid especially designed to absorb and channel the force created by wind and seismic pressure. (According to documentary "Mega-Structure")
This photo is taken right next to the outside of the hotel resort that my family and I lived in at Bali. Interestingly, this preposition isn't natural, firstly caterpillars don't usually climb on to flowers but leaves. And secondly, my uncle who found the caterpillar has obviously placed it too high up from the ground, therefore as you can see, it is trying very hard to find its way back down on to its favourite leaf, on the ground.... Poor caterpillar.....
