Unique Properties
The design stands apart from others by focusing on how smart homes are reshaping lifestyles. Unlike conventional works that emphasize regional traditional culture, this design skillfully integrates elements of technology and home in its visual language. Utilizing a rotating, twisted 3D house form, it not only intuitively conveys the concepts of change and reconstruction but also creates a unique visual impact and sense of fashion through innovative graphic language and tech-inspired color schemes.

Production Technology
The design and production process relies on digital tools and 3D modeling technology to achieve the expression of "changing home". In the design implementation, physical objects such as space installations, promotional posters, brooches, water cups, etc. are all made of high-quality materials and precise printing technology to ensure that the visual performance and physical texture meet expectations and achieve seamless integration of digital and physical elements.
Design Challenge
The greatest challeng is making the design both forward-looking and relatable to the public. External challenges primarily involve ensuring the design concept can be realized through practical production processes, such as material selection, printing, and digital display technologies. To overcome these challenges, the team do lots of things to ultimately achieving seamless integration between the design concept and its practical application.
Project Duration
The project started its design phase in February 2023 in Hangzhou, was completed in August 2023, and the official event was held in September 2023.
Operation Flow
The design primarily focuses on visual identity. For instance, in various media, the graphics twist and extend in different directions to form new shapes. To achieve optimal results, it is crucial to maintain the clarity and adaptability of the graphics across various mediums, as well as their alignment with the overarching theme of "intelligence." This can be reinforced through the thoughtful selection of materials and color schemes to enhance the expression of the theme.
Research
The "Haiyan Smart Home" competition successfully attracted the attention of many people. The event received significant media coverage and widespread dissemination across various sectors. The competition facilitated the signing of cooperation agreements between winning works and local enterprises.
