A[ir]pocalypse is a visionary urban intervention proposal that bears a strong imprint of its time. Conceived in response to the severe smog problem that affected Beijing between 2013 and 2016, the project explores how architectural design could serve as a medium for improving urban air quality. We proposed a giant dome using membrane structure that completely covers an entire shopping complex block in the city. Within the dome, an air circulation system uses naturally driven airflow to continuously purify the air and remove pollutants. We collaborated with Danish air purification technology company Infuser, utilizing Gas Phase Advanced Oxidation (GPAO) to remove and collect airborne pollutants. The design offers a sustainable solution with a minimal carbon footprint while producing clean air at an urban scale
A[ir]pocalypse是一个前瞻性的城市改造计划。这一项目有着强烈的时代印记，设计的初衷旨在利用空间媒介改善北京在2013-2016年出现的雾霾问题。我们设计了一个巨大的膜结构穹顶，将一整个商业街区完整覆盖。穹顶内部设置有空气循环系统，利用自然的气流驱动持续不断地净化空气。在空气过滤技术方面，我们与丹麦的空气净化科技公司Infuser合作，利用气相高级氧化（GPAO）空气净化技术将污染物去除并收集。该设计提供了一种可持续的设计解决方案，具有最小的碳足迹，并在城市化的规模下产生清洁的空气。
