Xijiajia

Xijiajia is a digital human created and driven by artificial intelligence. The appearance of Xijiajia is generated by fusing the facial features of a dozen popular Asian women. Facial expressions, movement, speech and clothing are also produced by algorithms and can be changed to suit each scene. Xijiajia can hold real time conversations, sing, dance, dress, stream live and create paintings, music and arrangements. Sign language and several spoken languages are supported, which helps users with hearing impairment. The project explores how people and machines can work together.

MX Dynamic

MX Dynamic is a modular room in room system created for offices, education spaces, and commercial venues. The system is built from standardized components such as ceilings, floors, doors, and walls, which can be combined and rearranged like building blocks. Interior and exterior panels use a magnetic latch system, so single parts can be upgraded, replaced, or reused. Materials include ecofriendly fabrics, aluminum alloy, and certified panels. An intelligent management platform monitors usage and supports remote booking. Assembly can be completed within hours, reducing labor and material waste.

Archie

Archie is a glassware collection designed for professional hospitality service. The collection includes shot, whiskey, long drink, mug, wine, champagne, martini and cocktail glasses. Archie is inspired by the arch, an architectural form reinterpreted through Art Deco geometry. Repeating arches create a sculptural surface, while balanced proportions keep each glass comfortable to hold. The pieces are pressed from soda lime glass, a process that gives consistent wall thickness, durability and resistance to scratching under intensive use.

Imetec Pro I25

Imetec Pro I25 is a professional coffee machine designed for bars and restaurants. Two independent coffee groups keep service running: if one group stops, the other continues to work. A patented brewing circuit uses fresh water for every extraction to prevent stagnation. Thermopulse PID control stabilizes the brewing temperature, and a patented anti-scale system protects the internal circuits. The body is made of laser-cut and bent stainless steel sheets. A central opening separates the control area from the mechanical core and opens the view toward the customer.

The Forum

The Forum is a pavilion designed as a venue for gatherings, public programming and the arts. The structure works as a stage, a screen and a backdrop, so the space can be adapted to different uses. Structure and facade are unified in one language of fluid surfaces made of aerospace grade aluminium. Sixty-six unique panels were shaped by digital sheet forming, without tooling or dies, in under twelve hours. The result is a large, lightweight and modular structure that is quick to produce and can be assembled with basic hand tools.

Drawing from the site's industrial past and natural surroundings, it provides event venues and field zones. The project reimagines infrastructure as a shared civic asset, turning the substation from an isolated facility into a community resource.
