FUTURISTIC WATER AND THE BIOREEF DIVERSITY THEORY THAMES GATEWAY The Challenge Abstract We are also building an important book for the future image of london, where winners will be featured. The designers in this book will be Re-Evaluated repeatedly over the next decade for Thames gateway project advancements. The bio-mechanical futuristic water competition is the […]

THE PREMISE Vast streams of data offer a rich resource for designers. By incorporating external information into our design processes the autonomy of the design is challenged. User data, energy calculations, embedded sensing, material and structural simulation, human behaviour and perception, particle flows and force fields allows design to be situated and responsive. From the […]
