About Living Reef Тарҳрезии Намоишгоҳ

Living Reef намоишгоҳи ҷамъиятӣ мебошад, ки таҳқиқотро оид ба тарҳрезии устувор пешниҳод мекунад. Дар намоишгоҳ корҳое намоиш дода мешаванд, ки бо чопи сеченакаи Direct Ink Writing ва маводҳои даврӣ, аз ҷумла шираи коркардшуда, сементи камкарбон ва гил сохта шудаанд. Прототипҳои хурди аз гили пухташуда ва ҷузъҳои калони чопшуда дар пояҳо ва ҷевонҳои пӯшида ба намоиш гузошта шудаанд. Ҷобаҷогузорӣ масири равшанро пайравӣ мекунад: аз таҳияи консепсия ва моделсозии рақамӣ то озмоишҳои мавод, маҳдудиятҳои истеҳсолӣ ва прототипҳои ниҳоӣ. Ҳадаф шарҳ додани он аст, ки чӣ тавр таҳсилоти тарҳрезӣ метавонад истифодаи даврии маводҳо ва барқарорсозии харсангҳои марҷониро дастгирӣ намояд.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: LivingReef Exhibition is a public facing exhibition that documents and displays the outcomes of an international university initiative on sustainable design using Direct Ink Writing DIW 3D printing with circular materials. Instead of presenting only finished objects, the exhibition makes the full research and education workflow visible, from concept development and AI assisted modeling to material trials, fabrication constraints, iteration, and final prototypes.
Dimensions & Packaging: The exhibition includes small scale fired clay prototypes and large scale printed components made with recycled materials. Forms emphasize porosity, modularity, and self supporting geometry. Objects are displayed on museum grade plinths and enclosed cabinets. All components are designed for safe transport, installation, and public viewing within a gallery environment.
Tags: Sustainable Design, Circular Materials, 3D Printing, Design Education, Coral Restoration, Digital Fabrication, University Collaboration
Production Technology: Direct Ink Writing DIW 3D printing, AI assisted 3D modeling, parametric design, digital fabrication, circular materials, recycled C Slurry, low carbon cement, clay based 3D printing, large scale additive manufacturing, sustainable design education
Design Challenge: The challenge was to convert a complex research program into an exhibition that is technically accurate, publicly accessible, and visually coherent. Circular materials behave unpredictably during printing, requiring repeated testing and geometry revision. The project also required integrating outcomes from multiple universities into one clear narrative while presenting both successes and failures as part of sustainable design learning.
Research: LivingReef is an international research and education initiative exploring sustainable design through DIW 3D printing, circular materials, and AI assisted workflows. The exhibition presents physical outcomes and process documentation from cross university workshops, showing how waste derived materials can be transformed into functional prototypes. The project highlights design education as a driver of circular economy practices and environmental awareness.
Inspiration: The exhibition is inspired by two parallel needs. First, coral reef systems are fragile and require new restoration approaches that can be locally adaptable. Second, higher education must respond to decarbonization and digital transformation by teaching designers to work with low waste processes and circular resources. LivingReef translates these needs into a tangible public narrative.
Project Duration: Project duration: 2025
Workshops: Fukuoka Japan and Tainan Taiwan
Exhibition dates: 2025 10 17 to 2025 10 20
Exhibition venue: NTNU Art Museum, Taipei, Taiwan
Operation Flow: The exhibition guides visitors through a clear narrative flow: project background, cross university collaboration, digital modeling, material testing, fabrication challenges, and final outcomes. Interaction is educational and visual, using physical prototypes, process images, and concise labels. Visitors learn how sustainable design evolves through iteration, material limits, and collaboration.
