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 light as a neuro-adaptive architectural interface that responds to human physiological and emotional states. By translating biosignals such as GSR, EEG, and ECG into dynamic lighting behaviors, the research proposes a shift from static light control systems to empathic, responsive environments. The project combines physical prototypes and spatial experiments to investigate how … Read more
