Creating Charismatic and Safer Public Spaces through Light RESEARCH QUESTION: How can experiential lighting features — ones that create interactive, changing, and flexible environments– be used in public spaces in order to create senses of community, safety, and improved mental and emotional health? HYPOTHESIS: If we integrate interactive lighting solutions as permanent fixtures in public … Read more
Bio-Receptive Interfaces is a performative multi-material clay-based system for indoor environments, integrating hydrogel vascularity to host an ecosystem of cryptogams and vascular plants. Fusing biological intelligence with embedded sensors and AI, it sustains a prolonged hydration cycle, purifies air, sequesters carbon, and reintroduces ecological presence into synthetic indoor worlds—transforming sealed spaces into living, responsive, multi-species … Read more
TÀN 58 is a seven-story student housing project located in Poblenou, an industrial district of Barcelona. The building’s form and orientation were shaped through computational studies that optimized daylight access and solar radiation across the site. This analysis led to the introduction of two central atriums, which act as vertical heat sources and organizational cores—spaces … Read more
whilst global temperatures are rising towards +4°c, building facades are a main contributors to the urban heat island effect within cities.2050 about 70 % of the world’s population will live in cities.The building sector globally consumes a significant amount of energy for heating and cooling. In fact, about half of the global cooling load is … Read more
What if body becomes the carrier of code? Information derived from human-body; it’s movement, expressions, how it sounds as a dataset for AI interpretation and use. What are the different dimensions of these interactions & interpretations? Biological Dimension AI Dimension Informational Dimension Different Modalities Study of Amazon’s AI systems Visualisation of the Back-End Process Follow … Read more
Soluciones sostenibles para contaminación y escasez hídrica en Villa Carlos Paz. ¿Cómo pueden las Soluciones Basadas en la Naturaleza, desde un enfoque de diálogo entre lo preexistente y lo propuesto, contribuir a mitigar simultáneamente la escasez y la contaminación hídrica en Villa Carlos Paz, sin modificar los cursos y cuencas hídricas naturales existentes y promoviendo … Read more
This research began with one of the most basic human motivation: curiosity. Looking at satellite imagery, we noticed strange, perfect green circles along the desert landscape. What are they? Why are they there? And what do they mean? Along this blogpost, key concepts will be explained , along to the reason of why we choose … Read more
Construction fractured an ecosystem, and listening began to heal it The Echoes We Buried is a speculative eco-fiction set in a fractured Barcelona, where construction noise disrupts not just human life but the deep, vibrating language of ecosystems. As species falter and signals blur, one person begins to listen—to the pressure, the silence, the unraveling. … Read more
This project introduces an environmental sculpture, up to 1.5 meters tall, placed in the garden of Ballina Methodist Church in Ballina, Ireland. The column acts as a multifunctional architectural element supporting local biodiversity—attracting insects, bees, butterflies, and small birds—while blending harmoniously into the public landscape. Constructed from a geopolymer made with crushed seashells and biochar, … Read more
INTRODUCTION In today’s construction industry, a large portion of timber is discarded due to its non-standard shape, curvature, or internal defects. Un_Log Factory challenges this paradigm by proposing a digitally augmented fabrication system that embraces the natural irregularity of timber. Instead of seeing bent or cracked logs as waste, our process redefines them as raw … Read more
No mouse. No keyboard. Just you. Github Link: https://github.com/Adronegenius/palmpilot2000.git Problem/Opportunity Current 2D CAD layout tools rely heavily on complex UI layers and precise mouse manipulation. These become barriers for: PalmPilot2000 addresses this by introducing a body-centered interaction system, where gestures drive the logic of selecting, moving, and placing elements on a plan — with visual … Read more
In an era dominated by concrete and steel, the Sticks & Stones project revisits the architectural potential of stone and timber—materials with a rich historical legacy—through the precision of robotic fabrication. This initiative sought to develop a reversible, precise architectural system that bridges traditional craftsmanship with advanced digital tools. By tackling the challenges of natural … Read more
