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
– Not just to Climatic conditions In the realm of modern architecture, the fusion of technology and design has become increasingly indispensable. One such innovative integration is the development of kinetic opening and closing windows using Arduino and physical computing. This groundbreaking approach not only redefines the conventional notion of windows but also introduces a … Read more
RESPONSIVE BUILDING SKIN Ecofacade stands out as a revolutionary concept inspired by the intricate art of origami. This Miura fold pattern design is more than just an aesthetic marvel; it’s an intelligent, responsive facade system designed to harmonize with the environment. Ecofacade operates on a simple yet sophisticated principle: adjusting to environmental conditions to maintain … Read more
Desert Bloom, conceived as a forward-looking resource harvesting concept, addresses the escalating impact of climate change and extreme environmental conditions. This system harnesses solar power, collects rainwater, and, equipped with distance sensors, autonomously safeguards its resources. Inspired by nature, the design mimics a flower – opening its petals to capture sunlight and repositioning them during … Read more
Framework In the year 2018, 28 European Union countries produced 50.2 million tons of wood waste. Unveiling the specifics, timber waste constitutes a substantial 20-30% of the total Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) stream. 10-15% of the timber used in new construction projects finds its way into the waste stream, contributing to the concerning statistic … Read more
Omni Corp is a project where we ideate to create a universal software where it aims to reduce the number of softwares needed to perform all the different tasks in the construction and design domain. Market Study
