Paradise in the Ruins

The idea of this application is based on a hypothetical air-raid shelter. If there is a nuclear war in the future, people will have to enter the shelter in order to escape from nuclear radiation, and the shelter has a great need for light.In addition to the lighting device in the shelter itself, we use optical fiber to introduce natural light to supplement the interior lighting.In addition to arranging the fibres as a means of illumination, we have also arranged them in the shape of certain animals and clouds as a warning against war, and the scattered animals seem to be a satire on the otherwise vibrant nature of the land. The underground space is dark and damp and living there for long periods of time can have an effect on people’s minds, especially children. When light comes in, the dots on the floor form a corresponding pattern, and children playing in the space will find that the light brings in their “friends”, giving life a more natural feel, as if they were in a natural paradise. It brings joy and hope to children in the aftermath of a nuclear war and soothes their hearts.One day we will come out of the dark and damp underground to the surface, to a real paradise, to play with animals and embrace the clouds……
