Shatter-Ring
We have a metacrisis of over consumption that is driving us toward the precipice of extinction. Fuelled by relentless advertising and capitalism’s need for endless growth, humanity is literally devouring the planet. Consumers click to buy for next day delivery from the other side of the world, the environmental and social impacts are safely hidden … Read more
EcoFrame
Introduction The core concept behind EcoFrame is to empower those interested in purchasing a pergola to design it themselves directly on the web. This tool not only simplifies the design process but also provides immediate feedback on important details like pricing. Tutorial STEP 1: The first step is to set the basic dimensions of your … Read more
HAVEN AI
A global survey was attempted – by the United Nations – an estimated 100 million people were homeless worldwide. As many as 1.6 billion people lacked adequate housing (Habitat, 2015). In 2021, the World Economic Forum reported that 150 million people were homeless worldwide. SOURCE Homelessness by Country 2024 (worldpopulationreview.com) “How can we address the … Read more
ChromaEnergon
Energy Phenomena In the machine room model, Convection serves as the primary mechanism for transferring heat from the hot plate to the tubes containing thermochromic fluids. This convective process affects the temperature of the thermochromic liquid within the tubes, which in turn changes the chroma i.e, color intensity of the room, thereby influencing the circadian … Read more
TREEWISE
“How can the synergistic lamination of wood and graphene enable the creation of a real-time digital twin for this material system? Leveraging graphene as a deformation sensor, how can the acquired data be stored and utilized to assess and extend the structural lifespan of the material? “ Wood | Industry Sensors and BIM Technology | … Read more
ANT FORAGING PATTERNS / ANT COLONY OPTIMISATION
Ant foraging pattern is the foraging cycle of ants in which ants leave their nest to find a food source until an optimal path is found and then convey all of the food to their nest. In computer science and operations research, the ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO) is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be reduced to finding good paths … Read more

Heat-Aire
This room is ingeniously designed to cater to user comfort through an innovative grid of shaders, harnessing wind as its primary energy source to dynamically modulate light and shadow from subtle gradients to complete coverage. At its heart lie 45 turbines, poised to pivot in response to the wind generated by a hairdryer, which serves … Read more
Fan heater – Machine Room
This project comprises of three spaces with different conditions, each connected by tunnel of stairs. We start with turning the heating coil on, once the temperature crosses the individual threshold temperatures, the fan in each space switches on accordingly to cool the environment and create distinct environment in each rooms. Through interconnected spaces with distinct … Read more
SpaceFlex
Balloon-Driven Spatial Alteration Phenomenon: What is Pressure? Pressure and Volume are inversely relatable. When one quantity increases, the other decreases proportionally. If the volume of the space is increased, the pressure inside the volume is decreased. This is applied in pneumatic structures and building environments to balance the indoor environment and structural stability. Our project … Read more
Forming Water
Forming water is a material system designed to address water scarcity and provide cooling solutions in different climates throughout the world. The system integrates multiple water extraction techniques, including rainwater harvesting, humidity absorption, and fog and mist capture to generate clean water from the atmosphere. Additionally, the system incorporates cooling mechanisms to regulate ambient temperatures … Read more
