(Either that or a cool edgy name too.) As for a very simple concept: The idea surged from the need present for some of the people from the neighborhood. Many students struggle with finding good and affordable food at Barcelona – so, naturally, they resort to cooking themselves. Yet. for the last few months, some … Read more
Project Concept The concept of the project was to create a forest-like space by having a series of bamboos on a surface of water. Forests undergo dynamic transformations, characterized by subtle details, where elements such as verticality and depth play a vital role. Pavilion Parametric Principle Parametric algorithms were employed to generate irregular and dynamic … Read more
A urban hybrid between canopy and umbrella, that protects from the sun and collects rain water CONTEXT CONCEPT CODE STRATEGY DESIGN STRATEGIES BILL OF MATERIALS TINKER CAD SIMULATION PROTOTYPE VIDEO NEXT STEPS A next step would be to develop a more complex urban infrastructure composed of these modules that can cover a wide area of … Read more
Dye vending machine working with an ultrasonic drive system. Concept The project involves a container equipped with a keypad, allowing it to provide a specific weight of the material inside based on user input. The primary objective was to aid a friend in her natural dyeing process, eliminating the need for manual weighing of each … Read more
Interactive Liminalities is an attempt to activate the sensory perception of human interaction in Liminal Spaces, which are transitional spaces, lacking a sense of connect and dialogue due to their functional nature. The idea is to stimulate the space through sensual anomalies. When a user transitions, the detection enabled through ultrasonic sensors, initiate a connection … Read more
Concept With so many alleyways in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, it is hard to know what is lurking behind each corner. Sp-EYE, a detector made with Ultrasonic Distance Sensors allows you to peek around sharp corners alerting you to danger. The sensor works as an extension of your eyes to “see” around objects. . … Read more
INSPIRATION CONCEPT Aqua REVIVAL, a smart irrigation system which monitors tank levels via water sensors, activates a pump to draw and filter greywater. This sustainable solution minimizes grid water usage, promoting responsible landscaping. The addition of a soil moisture sensor ensures optimal soil hydration for thriving landscapes. PSEUDOCODE This pseudocode activates the DC motor with … Read more

StarWoman’s StarShield is a deployable and collapsible protective shield prototype imagined by the coolest up and coming superhero: StarWoman. StarShield can be worn as a wristwatch which detects proximity & smoke. As an enemy or criminal approaches, the shield expands inversely proportional to the proximity. Less Distance = More Shield Expansion. In the case an … Read more
The idea is to used the design module which created in G2- Bio tech morphogenesis studio and make a adaptive shading structure using Programming & Physical Computing. Concept The Innovative algae panels integrated into structures enrich the surrounding air with oxygen through photosynthesis. Complementing this, kinetic shading devices dynamically adjust based on sunlight levels, efficiently … Read more
According to The Guardian, “just 5% of Nespresso pods are recycled”. Thus leading to “12,600 tonnesof Nespresso aluminium end up in landfill annually, enough for 60 Sta-tues of Liberty.” NesTrash project aims to solve the problem when it starts, in everibody’s home.A tool that can separate the aluminium from coffee residues, permitting to dispose each … Read more
Introduction: In this project, we’ll explore how to build a secure door lock system using an Arduino, an RFID module, a servo motor, and an ultrasonic sensor. The system is designed to lock and unlock a door based on RFID card authentication while also detecting the presence of someone at the door using an ultrasonic … Read more
