Keys have become obsolete. With the exponential growth of technology there has come a time for new alternatives. Some exist such as fobs, cards or keypads, but those still come with the same issue: the opportunity for them to be stolen or lost. So how about a solution that requires ownership of absolutely nothing, but … Read more
Cool Me
Problem: During the hot summer months, urban buildings face challenges with overheating, leading to excessive energy consumption for cooling systems like air conditioning. Additionally, dense urban areas lack sufficient green spaces, which could help mitigate the heat island effect and improve air quality. Solution: A motorized facade system, like the one proposed, addresses these challenges … Read more
One Centimeter at a Time
. A spectre is haunting the world — the spectre of the divide between imperial and metric measurement systems. Where is an architect that hasn’t faced the effect of these conflicting measurements? Where is the building design that hasn’t been critiqued for using the “wrong” system, whether by rivals, clients, or critics? Two things result … Read more
Cymatics pattern generation
Introduction to Programming and Physical Computing Student – Saad Khan INTRODUCTION– ORIGINS AND THE USE OF SOUND IN ARCHITECTURE Cymatics is the study of how sound vibrations create visible patterns on a medium such as sand, water, or a solid surface. Coined by Swiss scientist Hans Jenny in the 1960s, cymatics builds on earlier discoveries … Read more
