Using the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium as an example, this interactive experience engages both visual and tactile senses in a fun and engaging way, allowing the public to become aware of the current coral ecosystem crisis. It also provides insights into how coral restoration efforts can be implemented in everyday life.
NUTOPIA is a modular outdoor furniture system inspired by the symbiotic structure of mushrooms, designed with the principles of symbiosis, modularity, and return to nature. It adapts to diverse environments such as forests, grasslands, and campsites, mimicking primitive behaviors of gathering and sharing. Through assembly and interaction, users reconnect with the rhythms of nature and the value of cooperation. More than just furniture, NUTOPIA serves as a new mode of outdoor social engagement—an invitation to slow down and rediscover emotional connections with the land. In an age of accelerating technology, it proposes a design response rooted in sustainability, empathy, and human-nature unity.
