Drinking Water ATM

Tuesday, 2 May 2023

H2.O

H2.O is a Water ATM, a format designed to bring technologies used in large water treatment plants, to schools and small communities living with unsafe drinking water. The design is centered around giving this intimidating technology a human face. Product ergonomics have been thought from user as well as assembly and service points of view. Locking mechanisms for critical components make it tamper and vandal proof. H2.O is engineered for a knocked-down and weld-free assembly, giving it modularity, scalability and on-location assembly convenience.

The Visible Secret

The book illustrated the life stories of an ADHD child and his family, not only helped public to understand the practical problems faced by the family, but also to empathise with the SEN children and their parents regarding their struggles by using different colour filters to look through the inner world of the characters (Red–reflects the SEN child, Green–reflects their parents, Blue–reflects public) in the book. It is expected that the public can have more understanding and acceptance.

Hanoi Mirror House

Upon entering the Mirror House in Hanoi’s Reunion Park, visitors are swept into the depths of the ocean as they explore the wonders and beauty of the sea. Brilliant colored ceramic mosaic murals feature snails, starfish, sea anemones and a wide array of tropical fish. Mirrors add a sense of magic and intrigue. This experience was captured by painter Nguyen Thu Thuy and her colleagues in a 3D artistic expression. Being able to develop a deep appreciation for public art is rare in Vietnam, but Thu Thuy is breaking the barriers.
