Research's IaaC - Students Research - Self-sufficient Housing Prototypes

[agri] blooming project refers to infrastructural components that through combinations can create different environments associated with agricultural production. The main machine is a combination of the basic geometry of a 8sided flower with a tensegrity system that allows to have diverse performance. We proposed hybrid systems through the behavior of the machine that can combine matters to a singular device. Water, biogas, solar heat were finally the main infrastructural combinations that we develop with the function of the tensegrity machine. By Lilieth Aparicio, Walee Phiriyaphongsak, Ntovros Vasilis

Inspired by capsules that generates different spaces inside and by the use of a skin that acts like a filter for improving climate conditions, Morpho ecologic housing challenges a traditional distinction between public and private by proposing a hybrid modular housing system. The system consists on the composition of these capsules generating different spaces for shared living. The system induces passive energy conditions inside the inhabitable spaces and customized levels of communal and intimate space. By Luz Escobar Michel, Massiel Santos, Gabriel Ochoa
