Throughout the past 40 years, the Earth has lost athird of its arable land to erosion and degradation. Desertification means “the transformation of arable, hospitable land into desert”. In China, the problem has been aggravating anddamaging the agriculture and economy. Therefore, citizens had to make a choicewhether to stay and continue trying to struggle having a difficult living orjoin other climate refugees in cities.
The Gobi Desert is the fifth largest desert in the world and yet it’s still expanding in an alarming rate,particularly on the southern edge of China.
Nowadays, 27.4% of China is decertified land, affecting about 400 million people, about 4000 villages who have abandoned, andabout 33000 citizens who have been relocated to the cities. Sandstorms in the Gobi in particular can occur 3 to 10 times per month destroying crops anddamaging infrastructure and can get to one-kilometre height.The Gobi Desert is also known by its extreme weather ,ranging from 45°C in summer to -40°C in the winter.
It all started with a conceptual model that talks about -> disintegration, penetration and mixing. which permeate the various materials, such as plaster sand and "void".
The sand gathers in the negative spaces of our scraper and there it gets processed and reused.
First, the sound in which it is located in the inner shells of the scraper, works to direct the sands, mix them with water and adhesive materials and builds spaces that gets sliced and used in order to rebuild the damaged villages.
The building is supposed to get back trade relations between the desert citizens that have been immigrated to the cities and also to develop a modern and complex trading relations and support china’s developing economy.
