Laterns Sea Village : Temporary Housing Proposal for Surfers in Tarita
Archinect has designed Laterns Sea Village, a set of tetrahedral buildings for surfers in Tarifa. This architecture features light tetrahedron structures that hover over the sea, suspended in just one point. It’s a perfect place to house suffers who enjoy the beach without interfering on a beautiful landscape of Tarifa. These 100 tetrahedron architectures line up linearly on the sea, rotating their disposal in the form of semi square to promote life of the surfers.
Each unit is constructed from bamboo where main and secondary structures are dominated by triangular geometry. The structure is grouped by 3, giving more balance due to mutual connections by the joints on top of them. The modularity of this architecture allows the village to be expanded when needed, the structure can be disassembled without leaving any trace while all materials can be recycled when needed. Besides Bamboo, this structure also use recycled wood as the floor, the sunshades are made of recycling old surfboards, cutted and glued together.
There are 2 levels of area inside this building, the bottom level, 4 meters above sea level, is the area where you can find walkways and stairs. The top area is around 30square meters where you can find kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.

“The glassy, transparent human figures I paint were born out of heartache, a mental suffering caused by my experience with the frailty of human relations. Fate dictated that I would have that experience & that it would pour into my creativity.”

Serpentine Pavilion 2015 SelgasCano
Selgascano’s design for the 15th Pavilion, sponsored by Goldman Sachs, reveals an amorphous, double-skinned, polygonal structure consisting of panels of a translucent, multi-coloured fluorine-based polymer (ETFE) woven through and wrapped like webbing. Visitors can enter and exit the Pavilion at a number of different points, passing through a ‘secret corridor’ between the outer and inner layer of the structure and into the Pavilion’s colourful interior. The architects’ inspiration not only came from the site itself, but from the ways in which people move through London, notably the London Underground with its many-layered, chaotic yet structured flow.

Inceptionism: Going Deeper into Neural Networks Alexander Mordvintsev, Christopher Olah, and Mike Tyka
We train an artificial neural network by showing it millions of training examples and gradually adjusting the network parameters until it gives the classifications we want. The network typically consists of 10-30 stacked layers of artificial neurons. Each image is fed into the input layer, which then talks to the next layer, until eventually the “output” layer is reached. The network’s “answer” comes from this final output layer.
If we apply the algorithm iteratively on its own outputs and apply some zooming after each iteration, we get an endless stream of new impressions, exploring the set of things the network knows about. We can even start this process from a random-noise image, so that the result becomes purely the result of the neural network.

《龙游四季走天下》 “ This Dragon travels throughout the Seasons and walks into every corner of the world”
HUA TUNAN
This is the first time I arrived in Chicago Chinatown and worked on a 120 feet x 10 feet Wall to create a mural. In which, a Chinese traditional ink brush painting cultural integration of Western street art was performed and exhibited in the theme of “ This Dragon travels throughout the Seasons and walks into every corner of the world ”. The scenario defines in four-color, works on behalf of four seasons, “Spring” ,“Summer” , “ Autumn” and “ Winter”. A long line of ink draws through them, meaning Chinese are global. They are every place in the world and work extremely hard in every step to success from Winter to Spring .
此次为我到达美国芝加哥在唐人街一面120尺*10尺的牆壁進行創作，作品里以中国传统水墨文化融合西方街頭藝術表现“龙游四季走天下”情景，其画面四色调代表“春” “夏” “秋” “冬”四季，一条水墨长龙贯穿其中，寓意着全球华人游走在世界的每一个地方，艰辛创业，从冬天一步步走向春天.
