In 2015, the Scattered Beauty “L” Shaped Concrete Modular Public Chair, and Wooden Sculpture “Sequence•Exhibition” these two works designed by Prof. Huang Tao’s team won two silver awards of 2015 A’Design Award & Competition, which was not achieved previously in SWJTU. This team led by Prof. Huang Tao was from Product Design and R & D Center of School of Arts and Communication of Southwest Jiaotong University.

The Scattered Beauty “L” Shaped Concrete Modular Public Chair used “L” shaped precast concrete as the basic structural elements, and bilateral dimension of each “L” shaped concrete was different. This kind of chair was onstituted by scattered combination and permutation of the longer and shorter of the edges, which was to some extent out of the constraint of space, and could be creatively transformed to meet people’s actual needs. This works was designed by Han Nuan and other students who were led by Prof. Huang Tao. And the wooden sculpture “Sequence•Exhibition” which was displayed at the entrance of School of Architecture of SWJTU, presented another distinctive design concept. This works combinated modelling and structure, which structure occupied a fundamental role. The sculpture mainly emphasized experiment of design, and aimed to investigate the establishment of diversity and possiblity of sequence space with means of wood. From the scrutiny of model to the physical structures, this program was finished together by Wei Guangchao and other students who led by Prof. Huang Tao.
