eco campaign 2015 eco ideas proposal competition
first runner-up
19 June 2015
In this varsity-level competition, participants from all schools present their ideas on ways to decreasing carbon-emission, urban heat island effect and other negative impacts on our environment through ways of waste management, innovative technology or any other methods.
Our team's idea is to revolutionize residential housing plans by redirecting waste from housing units to an urban farming zone. Agriculture with close proximity to the living areas produces organic food back to the residents. This decreases the demand of transportation of food from other places and fully utilize waste as fertilizer, thus making residential houses more self-sustainable.

project 1a: the art of adaptation
For this part of the group assignment, students are required to select and read the chosen chapter from the great Italian author Italo Calvino’s book – Invisible Cities. Subsequently, we extract the ideas and describe the story. The extraction focuses on distinguished elements and methods to resemble the characteristics of the story. We then creatively adapt the story by graphical/visual representation in the form of a diorama or A3 sized artwork.
Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities might be labeled travelogue, but the places Calvino describes do not exist on any map. Technically, this is a novel, a work of fiction, but one without any storyline. The only characters are Kublai Khan and Marco Polo, where the Venetian explorer is regaling the Mongol ruler with tales of the cities he has seen journeying to the far reaches of Khan's vast empire. He uses an elaborate and intentionally disorienting manner of writing for readers to perceive dreamlike realms.
The chapter we focused is chapter 6, where several cities were mentioned and discussed. First and foremost, Esmeralda, a city of canal networks and multiple levels where personae of the city spend their interesting lives without routine. Next up is Phyllis, a city of domes and balustrades. Pyrrha, a city of fortified walls, an aftermath of battles, segregating the city into fragments. Adelma, a city where the community is replaced by the young and finally, Eudoxia, a city of agony and confusion.

The city imagined is a city of complexity and variety where nothing intangible is repeated. It is a huge living labyrinthine ecosystem housing crisscrossing personae, each with their own legends to uncover. Inhabitants of the city lead adventurous lives in the never-ending urban jungle.
Elements may be varying or repetitive, a volatile and uncertain dimension for people to traverse within. Death is the inevitable destination for all as citizens could not escape the wrath of time's progression.
The city is never complete and the destiny of its diverse people is unpredictable as each decision unlocks a door to the unknown, an unknown perceived as a blank canvas for them to paint on.
