smart surface
These smart surface studies look to that future and propose an environment that is composed of only two architectural surfaces; the ceiling plane and the floor plane. These planes are comprised of translucent latex rubber stretched taut over a robotic ”animator” subsurface. When not occupied, the surfaces are neutral, beige. Upon occupation, voice and motion recognition technology activate the surface, self-manipulating it to precisely contour it to accommodate various domestic functions, be it dining, recreation, bathing, procreation or sleep. Lighting, color, scent and sound are adjusted to enhance each specific experience.
