On June 23, 2024, the Design Department of National Taipei University of Technology achieved great success in the 2024 Golden Pin Design Award. Senior students Jiang Jiaying and Lin Shaoyu's graduation work 'Ecotrapod Innovative Breakthrough in Wave Dissipation' stood out and received the 'Golden Pin New Talent Best Design Award' and the 'Golden Pin New Talent Circular Design Special Award,' showcasing the department's excellence in environmental sustainability and innovative design fields. Their project focuses on sustainable oceans and waste recycling design, replacing or reducing the use of cement with a new type of wave dissipation product made from a recycled slurry and waste oyster shells. The innovative design features bio-porous helical surfaces for structural strength efficiency and habitats for algae, fish, and crustaceans. Collaborators such as C-Cube, Lotos, and Everplast acknowledge the students' creativity in redesigning wave dissipation blocks and ecological bricks for fish ponds, aiming to integrate circular materials into a flourishing ecological coexistence in the future.
