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
Concept In this custom webapp, we seriously (and jokingly) consider and design for the non-human. While walking my dog, Lumen, and thinking about this project, I noticed how he always picks up a stick and brings it home. This brings him happiness and reason to behave while on our walks. In the spirit of thinking … Read more

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
One of the best methods to enhance the atmosphere of our living spaces is plantation. However, indoor plantation requires some attention. One major key point that we are focusing in our app is the amount of light, and the type of light that the space receives. When we examine our spaces with this perspective, knowing … Read more
At the project media class, we were introduced to the various ways of presenting any project by means of different types of storytelling. We were shown that videomaking alone offers countless pathways to telling one’s story. To name just a few, this may be done by documenting the whole design process by videoing it, by … Read more
