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

Raising the Roof [top garden]

There are many postnature pioniers trailblazing the path to reintroducing nature, plants and fortresses of phytoremdiation to the urban jungle of New York City. Finally, after a season of dreaming, research and meetings, I’ve started the groundbreaking of a modest

Porthole/Pachube Augmented Reality test

This is my first attempt to visualize a data feed from Pachube (energy consumption in this case) using an augmented reality app. The app in question is Porthole, powered by Pachube, a cool and easy to use augmented reality (AR)

Living Systems Proposals

Today in Living Systems class I heard a myriad of amazing proposals for class projects ranging from the practical to the futuristic. Living Wall that monitors indoor environmental quality for gases and toxins (02, CO2, VOC) and relays that data
