Lily’s Portfolio

With a background in spatial design and a love for communication, I merge space with message through minimalism. I champion simplicity for clear and elegant expression. Welcome to my portfolio: where design finds its purpose.

Eternal Hourglass Pavilion

Sun & Wind Analysis

Sun Position

The pavilion is designed as an ascending oval spiral, merging the symbolism of an hourglass with the energy of a spiral. This shape offers a feeling of movement and progression. A central void in the design lets mid-day sunlight flood in, producing a dynamic dance of light and shadow. This design aspect enhances the pavilion's beauty, offers natural light, and contributes to user comfort. Additionally, the spiral's path allows visitors to reach the roof, granting a unique viewpoint and a closer connection to nature.

In the modern world, billions of products are manufactured daily using various materials. One of the most prevalent materials in industrial manufacturing is plastic. While plastic boasts benefits such as being lightweight and highly flexible, it poses significant environmental challenges on a global scale. To address this issue, scientists are collaborating to develop more sustainable materials and manufacturing processes. Biodesign is an emerging discipline that bridges biology and design.

Mycelium, the vegetative part of a fungus or fungus-like bacterial colony, presents a sustainable alternative to conventional materials like plastic and foam. Once processed, it can serve as the primary material for a range of applications. Several companies, such as Mycoworks, are pioneering the use of mycelium to create products, emulating the properties of wood and animal leather.

In my experience, living materials unlock vast possibilities for a sustainable future. Materials like mycelium can be produced domestically since their raw components are easily accessible, and advanced tools are not essential. Coupled with modern technologies like 3D printing, which are becoming increasingly available, products made from living materials are nearing real-world applicability.

In conclusion, living materials provide a sustainable alternative for both industry and households. However, more research is needed to optimize the manufacturing processes of these materials. I am confident that, given the increasing emphasis on sustainability, they will become primary materials

in the future
