According to current research in bio-materials, the cyanobacteria PCC7002 can produce calcium carbonate through photosynthesis under certain conditions, which allows composite renewable bio-materials to be utilized in a variety of scenarios. Based on the biological growth properties of this material and the Eastern landscape philosophy as a starting point, this design is based on modern materials science and optical research to create stones that can grow naturally through sunlight within a certain cycle and use photo-luminescence properties to make visible light emitted by electron leaps after absorbing ultraviolet and infrared light during the day, thus creating a unique experience of spatial change.
