My Body, My Software: Architecture as Firmware investigates the body as a local-first interface for adaptive architecture. The thesis proposes a privacy-preserving system in which physiological signals become a consent-based API through which environments can respond to changing states of stress, focus, balance, and affect. Rather than treating data as a resource to be extracted, … Read more
This thesis explores how biosignals can transform artificial light into an adaptive architectural interface. While light strongly affects human emotions, cognition, and well-being, most lighting systems still rely on manual control and cannot respond to users in real time. The research investigates how EEG, ECG, and GSR data can be used to create dynamic lighting … Read more
