Instrumented Landscapes explores the potential of low-cost, networked sensing and actuation technology to improve urban agriculture, promote public health, and foster deep connections between people and the natural environment.
Protopia focuses on augmenting the importance of Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) machines in fabrication, assembly and prototyping. The project aims to develop a new prototyping process that enables additive prototyping (rather than subtractive as in most current systems) and functions at any scale. Protopia explores the potential of combining robot arms and three-dimensional weaving technology to create a new, high accuracy prototyping machine that can be used for on-site fabrication and prototyping.
This city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the coursers of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightening rods, the poles of the flags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls.
