Material Loop: Forms of Renewal


Material Loop repositions urban waste as a living dataset.Through AI and AR, each discarded fragment becomes a carrier of memory,

an intelligent matter waiting to be reassembled.

Here, design shifts from production to re-perception —a process where the city learns from its own residues.

When citizens co-create with AI,they don’t merely recycle;they rewrite the material biography of the city itself.



物质回路:再生的形态

《物质回路》让“城市的废弃物”重新成为叙事的主体。

 在AI与AR的中介下,材料不再是静态的资源,而成为可被聆听的数据个体。它们被重新感知、再设计、再生长,形成一个跨越数字与物质的循环。

这一场景提出了新的城市伦理:

 未来的设计不再依赖于“创造新物”,而是通过“理解旧物”来生成新的形式。

 当AI学习材料的历史,市民成为城市共创者——人与机器共同修复城市的物质记忆。
