The concept behind Nano-City” is that technological advance and ecological responsibility are not necessarily a contradiction in terms. We believe that technological development from within the fields of design and architecture can be focused to transcend ecological equilibrium. NanoCity is …
The Ex-Com (External Communication) couch is one of several robotic couches which can allow different people in remote locations to communicate with each other through the physical piece of furniture. With affordable, easy to assemble instructions, our goal is to …

The aim of the course is to develop the skills necessary to explore, think about, and design responsive and interactive architecture. The primary goal of the course is to expose students to innovative way of thinking about design in terms …
Video Intelligent kinetic systems arise from the convergence of three key elements: kinetic engineering, embedded computation and adaptable architecture. At the intersection of these areas exists an area of interactive environments tuned to adaptability. The course will address kinetic function …
The idea is to create spaces and objects that can physically re-configure themselves to meet changing needs. The central issues explored are human and environmental interaction, embedded computational infrastructures, physical control mechanisms and the processes that architects and designers can …
The aim of the course is to develop the skills necessary to explore, design and construct intelligently responsive kinetic structures and systems. The idea is to create spaces and objects that can physically reconfigure themselves to meet changing needs. Emphasis …
The project at once engages individual interactively and at the same time actively mirrors the unengaged pedestrian activity as a whole. This façade fosters direct interaction between an architectural – scale installation and pedestrian activity on the street. [vimeo 43947193 …
If a space would mediate our needs and the If a space would mediate our needs and the environment outside, its demand on physical resources could be slashed. If it would transform to facilitate multi-uses, its function would be optimized. …
The iZoo is an interactive architectural space that will captivate all who enter it. It is a space that fosters human connections, that floods the senses, that is educational and manipulative. It is a space that provides us with an …
