Tierra Potencia

A space for human driven by human On a planetary scale, these dynamics of solar heating, infrared cooling, and moisture transport create global patterns in climate. This study explores how temperature and humidity generated through human exertion at different activity levels can be passively regulated to create adaptive microclimates tailored to occupant circadian rhythms and … Read more

Thermocrest – Heat as a spatial design tool

This Project explores how reflective, vernacular materials—such as ceramics—can be utilized in construction to manage infrared radiation and influence microclimates. By reflecting rather than absorbing heat, these materials contribute to passive cooling, reducing urban heat island effects and enhancing thermal comfort. We analyze the physical properties of ceramics, their historical applications in traditional architecture, and … Read more

Air-Guard Pro

Safeguarding your air, one breath at a time Project by Saad Khan Introduction In Self sufficient building studio, we were instructed to take an old, functional electronic object and customize it to affect the climate on a micro scale and positive note using arduino circuitry and its components. The electronic object selected for this project … Read more
