research background
The most serious pollution that came into people's mind are always the most heavily toxic ones. These pollutions of exterior or interior environment can be detected and prevented by two main solution lines: the filtering system for the exterior and the ban of the use of toxic materials for the interior.
However, there're other pollutions both as a component in the air or as a loss of the balance in the components of the air. For example, carbon dioxide is originally one component of the atmosphere, but it is also listed as pollutants when reach a certain amount. Also, pollutants, by their exact definition, are not the only factors that are influencing air quality. If we equal pollutants in a more general idea as the factors that had a negative effect on ideal air qualities, then the ultimate solution against pollution equals to the effort of creating ideal interior air qualities.
These qualities, categorized by features, should be attributed according to different human activities. The optimum of the air quality is not a definite concept, but a series of answers based on the need of the activity. Thus, the design attempts to create a squelch of weather miniatures through the gradual change of certain component of the air and the overlappings of these changes, and place the programs of activities accordingly.
In the design, there are two categories of devices that are applied to manipulate the air composition: the filtering devices that would prevent a certain element, and the generator that would add or reinforce a certain element.
The filtering system includes the oil filteration device that resist the outdoor pollution and provide the dry-clean air in the purist form; the paper filteration device for cleansing the outlet air emissions; and the anti-fog filteration and porous materials that would prevent water vapor and provide a dryer space.
The generator system includes the bath, as a natural generator of water vapor that increase the humidity of the area; the ozone generator that reinforce the character of the 'forest' under the 'rain'; and the oxygen generator that elevate the oxygen ratio in the air as well as increase the air pressure of the area.
architectural solution
With the gradual changes of the system and the overlapping of these changes, and also the addition of temperature control, the design attempts to create four weather areas.
The high sky area, where air is with its purist form, with the slight gradual effect of the generator of water vapor and the generator of oxygen, and a slightly higher air pressure. The area is preserved for houses and domestic activities of reading

The idea is to design architecture as meteorology.
Weathers differentiate because of different components and their ratio in the air. Features owned by the definition of weather, humidity, air pressure, fresh or depressed, can, to some level, be explained by the composition of the air. Modern science had provided us with all kinds of generators that would produce one single component of the air, such as Oxygen, Ozone, or water vapor. The density of these components in the air may vary according to the area's placement comparative to the generator. Thus, with the company of temperature manipulated by heater and cooling device placements, we can create various weather miniatures.
