Biomimetic Structure
Energy Circulation
Urban Ecology


Within the urban fabric of Liverpool’s port, I have crafted a biomimetic energy apparatus: the Water Source Heat Pump Energy Field. Inspired by the jellyfish’s ecological role—purifying water, floating translucently, and extending flexibly—the building adopts its morphology as architectural language. The circular perforated canopy, derived from the jellyfish’s umbrella, provides shade while scattering luminous points across the plaza. The transparency of the jellyfish’s skin informs the building’s overall permeability, allowing it to hover lightly within the city.

This project transcends the role of a mere energy facility, becoming a narrative anchor for Liverpool’s transition from industrial heritage to a sustainable future. The biomimetic language of the jellyfish imbues the energy field with ecological metaphor, positioning it as a guardian of purification, circulation, and resilience. Through the efficient operation of the water-source heat pump system, the building not only reduces carbon emissions and improves water quality but also provides open civic spaces, emerging as a living organism that bridges nature and the city



Structural Translation
The jellyfish’s anatomy is translated into spatial and tectonic logic. The umbrella corresponds to the perforated canopy; the oral arms become columnar load-bearing structures that support and organize interior space; the tentacles evolve into tensile cable systems around the perimeter, creating structural tension while extending energy pipelines. The sunken plaza acts as the “body cavity,” converging energy circulation with civic interaction, transforming the building into a hybrid apparatus of purification, energy provision, and social engagement.
