[ Synthesia Aqua-Vines ]
Master of Architecture Thesis Project
This thesis choreographs the ecological transformation of the ship-breaking yard, over time, envision the post-termination future of labor-free and automation substitution that re-birth an cohabitation - Synthesia Aqua-Vines. Embracing the argument on how automation and technology would coordinates the design thinking of addressing climate change, what results from the thesis is not a finished shipyard, but rather a celebration of the monolithic nature of material, a growth behavior in the process of its becoming. 
* THE TONE *“Resources are utilized towards highly differentiated ends of cultural fabrication. The technologies of resource extraction begin to eclipse the commodification of the earth’s resources...” — Etienne Turpin, Architecture in the Anthropocene
* CALL FOR ACTION *Our “slavery in a world of machines“ is fully exposed within this industry of ship-breaking. Only by acknowledging the nature of such extra-territorial urban character, can we design for these flows of waste, and resources, and a habitation that brings back the history, the memory, and the post-termination future through the production of an artificial landscape.
* POST TERMINATION FUTURE *After-all, the post termination future vision of Synethesia Aqua-Vine speaks for a new territory that provides cohabitation for the ecological species at the intersection of landscape and seascape, embracing climbing plantae, land-animals, insects, microorganism, and aqua-creatures.
“The naturalization of architecture is about addressing nature in a different way, no longer as an opposition between the natural and man-made, but in a new sort of hybrid relationship. . . .”
— Frédéric Migayrou and Marie-Ange Brayer
