About Re-Leaf Ntchito Yaikulu: Dziwe la Mtengo

Zolemba za Buku: Re-Leaf ndi dziwe la mtengo lopangidwa mwaukadaulo wachilengedwe, lopangidwira misewu ndi malo a anthu onse. Masamba akugwa amasonkhanitsidwa mkati mwa beseni lotsekedwa pang'ono, kumene mvula ndi chisanu zimawakhamira mpaka atavunda. Masamba owoladi amakhala ngati feteleza wachilengedwe amene amawonjezera zakudya m'nthaka ndi kuthandiza kukula kwa mtengo. Mawonekedwe otsekeka pang'onowa amachepetsanso kuthamanga kwa madzi ndi kuthandiza kusunga chinyezi cha nthaka. Re-Leaf yapangidwa ndi chitsulo chosungunulidwa (cast iron) ndipo ili ndi zigawo zinayi zofanana, zomwe zimalumikizidwa musanayikidwe mozungulira mtengo. Dziwe la mtengoli lili ndi kukula kwa 1300 kwa 1300 kwa 250 millimita.

About the Mphoto ya Siliva ya A' Design Award

Re-Leaf Ntchito Yaikulu: Dziwe la Mtengo ndi mmodzi mwa opambana a Mphoto ya Siliva ya A' Design Award, kuzindikirika kolemekezeka modabwitsa komwe kumaperekedwa kwa mapangidwe a pamwamba, okongola ndi ochititsa chidwi. Opambana a Siliva ndi ntchito zowala kwambiri ndi zolenga kwambiri zomwe zimaonetsa ukatswiri, luso ndi nzeru zakuthwa za opanga awo. Re-Leaf Ntchito Yaikulu: Dziwe la Mtengo akuyembekezeka kukhala ntchito yodabwitsa yoonetsedwa, yaukatswiri wapadera ndi yatsopano kwambiri. Mapangidwe opambana Mphoto ya Siliva ya A' Design Award awa ndi chopangidwa chodziwika kwambiri ndi choyamikiridwa chomwe chimapindulitsa ndi kukulitsa malire a luso, sayansi, kapangidwe ndi ukadaulo. Re-Leaf Ntchito Yaikulu: Dziwe la Mtengo ndi cholengedwa chomwe anthu ambiri amachichitira nsanje, chomwe chimadzutsa zilakolako, kubweretsa maganizo abwino ndi kuyatsa kudabwa ndi chidwi.

Unique Properties: As we all agree that Mother Nature know what is the best, fallen leaves are the best fertilizer of trees. But before those leaves rot for a while, they are accumulated, compacted and watered by rain and snow. Return to the Roots is the solution of fallen leaves. By means of ingenious design of three-dimensional space, trees are spread fertilizer which is ret by their own fallen leaves in the enclosed space formed by the tree pool, so as to increase soil nutrients and stimulate tree growth.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 1300mm x Depth 1300mm x Height 250mm
Tags: Ecological Balance, Sustainable, Regeneration, redesign,
Production Technology: Our design is shaped by Cast iron molding technology.
Design Challenge: The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a suitable material in hardness and ductility. After a number of tests in the selection of materials, we finally find the proper material which achieves the desired effect.
Research: To offer a better solution of fallen leaves and give trees more fertilizer, we find a solution in the tree pools design. As we all know, the fallen leaves can be rotted by themselves and it is the best fertilizer of trees. Semi-closed tree pool can effectively avoid water runoff and protect soil moisture. We put the fallen leaves in our tree pool, give it a space in rotting.
Inspiration: By considering of Mother Nature always using new lives to replace the old one, every new leaves can be seen a regeneration of those fallen leaves. Just like the saying that Mother Nature always know what is the best, fallen leaves are the best fertilizer of trees. In each autumn, fallen leaves are everywhere on the street, not be used. So we offer you Re-leaf, the design of ecological tree pool, the best solution of fallen leaves.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2015 in LAFA Communal Facility Design Studio and finished in August 2016 in National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Industrial Design in LAFA.
Operation Flow: Our project is kind of model combination design, combine with 4 same parts. You can install all the parts before you set up the tree pool.
