YY Sports is a fitness club located in Shenyang, in northern China. The interior occupies the top floor of a sports store on a busy commercial street and covers 2000 square meters. The design theme explores the idea of the post-human, a figure shaped by technology and information. Figures were produced with three-dimensional modeling and three-dimensional printing to appear lifelike. Materials include stainless steel, glass, artificial wood, terrazzo, flame retardant fabric and rock wool, with an immersive LED screen. The site was surveyed before modeling.

- Inspiration
- In The 1960s,
After some developed countries enter the postmodern era characterized by the information society, they use modern science and technology,
Combined with the latest concept and aesthetic consciousness, the human individual has a partial artificial design, artificial transformation, artificial beautification, technical simulation and technical construction,
Thus forming some new societies and new groups.
These people are no longer pure natural persons or biological beings, but through a technical processing or the role of electronic, information formed by a "artificial man".
Is there any more room for imagination when people shape themselves in such a gym full of "post-human" information? - Image Credits
