responsive architecture
The moss tiles are part of a series of RAD experiments aimed at utilizing ceilings for healthier and more vibrant interiors. RAD identifies the ceiling as an underutilized area for creating interior landscapes. This space can be reclaimed by nature and connected to resilient outdoor ecosystems through networked embedded technology. The tile is composed of a disposable and recyclable coco mat cartridge and an aluminum tray that includes integrated sensors, a digital readout, and wireless communication capabilities. The cartridge supports various low-maintenance moss species, such as Hypnum, Haircap, Rock Cap, and Cushion moss. These mosses can be irrigated using a handheld piston-pump sprayer or an automated misting system integrated into the drop-ceiling structure. Embedded humidity sensors optimize moisture levels. Although designed as individual elements for standalone use or modular aggregation, the DropMoss tiles are wirelessly connected to one another and the Internet. They report their individual status (moisture and pH) and collectively monitor ambient environmental conditions (temperature, ambient light, humidity, CO2). They are part of a global network of moss communities that share live correlated data, enhancing their resilience and sustainability. The Hu-mannequin project was initially proposed as a pop-up store for a fashion designer, aiming to enhance the viewing experience by engaging the olfactory sense. This installation features scent-emitting mannequins that release various smells throughout the day. Seats within the store capture the scent of individuals sitting, transporting their unique smells through ducts and releasing them into the air via perforated mannequins. This innovation animates the typically lifeless mannequins with human qualities through scent, creating a Hu-mannequin. Individuals sitting on the furniture metaphorically inhabit the clothing, imparting their unique scent to the outfit. This establishes a new dynamic where partners, friends, and strangers can visualize an outfit by smelling the virtual wearer’s scent. IM Blanky is a blanket that exists in both real and virtual spaces simultaneously. When the blanket is moved in real space, a virtual mesh moves in sync. IM Blanky has an IP address and features self-modeling capabilities, wirelessly linked to a digital model that registers and processes its changing state in real-time. This built-in capacity to represent itself in space and time indicates a fundamental form of cognition—the sense of one’s own body. This foundational function could enable multiple additional functionalities with the integration of other sensing devices in future generations of IM Blanky. Soft tilt sensors arranged in a hexagrid pattern and sewn into the fabric of the blanket facilitate digital self-modeling. The data generated—variation in current resistance—establishes the vectors from which the topography of the entire field is derived. This is accomplished by computationally integrating sensor data within an ecology of topological relationships, extrapolating information from the behavior of the entire system. Data from each sensor determines the local tilt direction at the reading site, while readings from neighboring sensors establish elevation and orientation in three dimensions. The mapping of each vector against the overall field completes the comprehensive picture.
The electronic schematic for the described moss tiles and related projects would involve several key components and subsystems. The moss tiles would include a microcontroller unit (MCU) that serves as the central processing unit, interfacing with various sensors for moisture and pH levels. The MCU would communicate wirelessly with a local network, allowing each tile to send and receive data regarding environmental conditions.
Power management would be crucial, requiring a small battery or energy harvesting solution, such as solar cells, to ensure sustainability. The embedded humidity sensors would likely be capacitive or resistive types, providing real-time feedback on moisture levels. The digital readout would consist of an LED or LCD display, showing the status of each tile.
For the Hu-mannequin project, the electronic components would include scent-emitting devices, possibly utilizing small fans or piezoelectric actuators to disperse fragrances. The system would need a microcontroller to manage timing and control the release of scents based on customer interactions. Additionally, the duct system would require sensors to detect air flow and ensure an even distribution of scents throughout the store.
In the case of IM Blanky, the schematic would include multiple tilt sensors connected to an MCU that processes the sensor data to create a digital model of the blanket's position and movement. The communication interface would allow the blanket to transmit its status to a connected device, enabling real-time feedback and interaction in both physical and virtual environments.
Overall, the integration of these electronic components within the described systems showcases the potential for innovative applications of technology in enhancing user experiences and creating interactive environments.The moss-tiles belong to a series of RAD experiments in planting the ceiling for healthier and richer interiors. RAD recognizes the ceiling as an untapped site for interior landscapes.
