Open Data: how do we want things to change?
Notes prepared for Data City: Doom or Boom - are pervasive digital devices and open data changing the way we interact with the city? Cities are heterogeneous, that’s why we like them. People always find ways to distinguish themselves from each other - this is the cause of both conflict and creativity. Clearly, technology, which is a manifestation (and delimiter) of social relations, will...

Shawn Frayne’s Windbelt Frayne’s device consists of a flat, taut membrane that flutters within its housing as air passes through it. At each end of the membrane are magnets that oscillate between metal coils as the band flutters, effectively creating an electric charge. According to the 28-year-old Frayne, prototypes of the Windbelt have generated 40 milliwatts in 10-mph slivers of wind, making...

Smart polymers →
An intelligent system is more sophisticated and interprets the property changes of the smart polymer. For example, it consists of a material that emits a stimulus and of an adaptive material that controls the adaptations of one of its properties to counterbalance the stimulus and to maintain a stable state of the system. More precisely, for example, a structure that vibrates in a given phase of...

Mist effect - The Blur Building  →
the saturation of the air with moisture, which produces the visible mist effect, depends on a number of physical environmental conditions. these parameters include the speed and direction of the wind, the environmental temperature and the atmospheric humidity.
