We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Yao Wu about their original and creative Plant cultivating box design work. Yao Wu is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original plant cultivating box works.
Yao Wu ("YW") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work G-ark Plant cultivating box. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
YW : There is a large area of desert in the north of China, many people lack of water, so it is very difficult for them to plant trees.
YW : It is difficult to design a good work, especially the material problem. In our design, the focus of attention in the material. Obviously, we found it.
YW : To raise enough money to support the design of a free or lower price for water and water.
YW : Half a year
YW : In my opinion, designers should pay more attention to social and ecological protection and try to change it.
YW : Yes, I'd like to sell this design and make it work.
YW : I used to live in the north of China for a long time, probably more than 4 years, where people need better ecological environment, they lack of water, I want to help them solve the problem. This thing attracts me, it makes sense.
YW : I am very grateful to my teacher, Professor Yang Junshun and Professor Chen Junzhi of Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, who has helped me a lot.
YW : Maybe it's the government, or NGO, they're very concerned about this.
YW : This design is a system, is a system, several links are indispensable, so it is very special, we think it is the most unique side.
YW : Noah's Ark saved a lot of people and animals, and we hope that this design can protect more trees growing in the desert. So we call it "G ark"
YW : We think the rhino software is very good modeling, of course, we also do some manual in the laboratory.
YW : The concept of time, we often say, time is life. For this design, I think so too.
YW : My partner, Kong Guoqin, Jin Rong and Xiang Mengxun, have spent a lot of time on the design. I thank them very much.
YW : I think it should be the use of degradable materials.
YW : As of 2014, Chinese desertification land total area of 261 million 160 thousand square kilometers, accounting for land area accounts for 27.20%, located in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Shandong, Henan, Hainan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang 18 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) 528 counties (banners, city and district). These are just Chinese data, I think I have enough reason to study design.
YW : As I said, one is a matter of time, and the other is a structural problem.
YW : A' design award is a very meaningful award, it is inclusive, very professional, I think this is the main reason
YW : For designers, the design process itself is a learning process, to do this design, we learned a lot of material knowledge. This is very interesting.
YW : No, thank you
