The Seed
This project explores a new type of the refuge especially for the tornadoes.
Existing refuge houses are constructed in the form of after-the-fact remedy. In this case, the losses will be relatively large. In the era when space demand is gradually expanding, super-floors will certainly exist. The high-rise structure is difficult to resist the tornado scale above F2. In addition, the building serves as a research center with high-precision equipment, so we need to ensure the stability of the structure. With the idea of "rooting, " I will build the structure deep into the ground, reducing the degree of shaking, more like the seed body in the soil, and the ground as a natural protective layer. Additionally, considering the local power generation structure is transforming, I integrate a research center and some stores into the township. When the tornado leaves, all “The Seed” buds rise slowly from the ground, and the whole sea of flowers will bloom with blue dazzling light. It is a tenacious life that will stand still after the tornado.
