ITP WC: The System Is Alive

ITPWC is a phytoremediation device based on the Eco-Machine systems developed by Dr. John Todd* and research done by the ITPWC team on aquaponics systems. Built in the men’s bathroom on the ITP floor, our inspiration for this project was

Growth Assembly with Sascha Pohflep

In the future, machines will be grown on trees.  Then they will eat us for eating them. After the cost of energy had made global shipping of raw materials and packaged goods unimaginable, only the rich could afford traditional, mass-produced

Amorphous Anemones: Elastic Membranes

Amorphous Anemones What if these structures were motion sensitive and opened or closed by your prescence?  I propose to animate these cellular inspired zip-tie lattices utilizing Nitinol or Muscle Wire morphing and contoring using motion sensors.  Additionally, I might integrate
