Pulse of Cities

Nowadays, Chinese people's life in different places gradually become reconcile in every way with the burgeoning modernization process, including food, clothing, architecture and art. We can't deny the fact that this is the embodiment of social development. Howver, it is gradually killing off the regional cultures. 
Thus, how might we visualize the regional cultures by showing how different regional characteristics shapes local people's lifestyle, thus attract the attention of the public to reflect on, protect and inherit their own regional culture?
INPUT-Characteristics shaping regional culture
Which factors can be used to represent regional characteristics that shape different regional cultures, and in which form should we present people's lifestyle shaped by different regions, thus build a relationship between them?

After research, it comes to me that climatic conditions have been playing a significant role in the birth and development of regional cultures.
Meanwhile, life is by all means an important part of the region. I choose sound as the symbolic factor in order to express the rhythm that life brings to the regional culture.
OUTPUT-Pulse of cities
When it comes to the presentation of people's lifestyle when living in different regional cultures, I choose ferrofluid to represent the vitality of humanity and culture from the region, RGB lights to express the cultural atmosphere, and fog made from various perfume to show the flavor of the city.
