Continuously evolving, the tour introduced drone performances in late 2023, extending the spectacle beyond the stage and into the sky.
The Conch combines nature's beauty with mathematical precision, featuring an elliptical Fibonacci spiral resembling a conch, infinity symbol, or musical note. Designed with parametric software, it consists of 30 layers of elliptical metal rings stacked precisely for a light, rhythmic structure. Concealed water pipes in the base create a hidden fountain at the sculpture's center. Symbolizing natural growth and cosmic energy flow, the spiral inspires contemplation on mathematics, nature, and aesthetics, enhancing urban landscapes with deep symbolism and cultural significance.
The 160X 6.0 Pro is a running shoe developed for marathon races. The shoe weighs 171 grams, which reduces the load carried by runners over long distances. A lightweight carbon plate combines polyimide fibers with eight layers of carbon fiber. A split toe design and a raised arch contour add forefoot flexibility and propulsion, while an inwardly curved sidewall improves stability upon landing. The midsole is made with Xtep Ace technology and foam injection molding, and the outsole uses CPU material. The jacquard upper is breathable and wraps the foot.
Cosmic Creek is a mixed-use development located in Chengdu Luxelakes, designed to blend with the surrounding environment. Spanning approximately 100000 square meters, the layout incorporates an L shaped water channel, stepped platforms and green areas aligned with the terrain. A central plaza with sculptural planters and modular seating units anchors the design. The project prioritizes ecological integration and accessibility, fostering a functional space where built structures complement the natural landscape.
