This on-going project reflects the rapid urbanization in Chinese coastal cities and ever-changing socio-political developments in China, questions how post-modern ruin see creating utopia as a kind of spiritual salvation, and the poetic visual representation of ongoing ruination process.


The project is based on the history and political plan of coastal economy, connecting community needs and individual needs. Under the premise of marine ecosystem protection, solve housing problems and explores the sustainability of a future living model for the coastline. This practice explores intimacy as inherently a spatial phenomenon, how to create spaces through the establish of relations between inter-species practices and space. Discuss the intimacy's time-space dimension, build-ability and immediacy. And uses materials' affective dimension to trigger associations and psychological responses


Through "site-space-content" building incubators that "allows intimacy to happen" to create a seaside intimacy community. The urban design based on the concept of future realistic design that speculate new concepts of urban design and public engagement to educate and create awareness about more sustainable, flexible, and mindful approaches to building and living.

Coastline Utopia — Audio: Sean Hayman, 2017, Deep Believe (On da Way Mix), 【used 01/19/2021】

Scientists extract biological material from a kind of new coral to construct movable utopia that can float on the sea surface. These artificial biological spheres will not occupy or change the coastline and is friendly to marine ecosystem. The biological architecture has “cell division” process that will generate incubators. Each incubator provides communities spaces to create intimacy and intimate site. 

The first series of incubators focus on self-intimacy space. Dispersive particles converge through users’ consciousness to create a concrete Buddha. Through mindfulness process, users could establish a mild relationship with healthy ego and neurotic ego (David Richo).
