Solar fabric explores the integration of photovoltaic and light-responsive materials into textiles and building surfaces. This approach combines energy generation with adaptive design, creating materials that shift their properties in response to sunlight.

The community examines solar-responsive systems across scales, from interactive installations and responsive architectural elements to integrated building components. Projects range from theoretical frameworks and material experiments to realized structures that use solar responsiveness to define spatial experience and ecological integration.

Project Infinity

From cave men to despotic rulers we have moved to a democratic era with development as the genus loci. An egalitarian work space oriented in 2040 where humans set goals and aspirations shaping their world which are accomplished by their technological counterparts leading to a truly Utopian era, an era of human transcendence.

Plugin Housing

In this plan, attention has been paid to providing housing for low-income groups by providing favorable living conditions. This design is an affordable, flexible model, with minimal material waste and minimal damage to the environment, which is suitable for the lifestyle of the future.

MORPHLUID - A Solar Responsive System

The research primarily deals with passive cooling systems titled Morphluid - which respond to climatic to provide the user with an optimum habitable environment. The success of this prototype would effectively reduce the usage of artificial cooling which not only consumes absurd quantities of electricity but also burdens the planet with the carbon footprint.

Interactive Colonies

The aim of this project was to compromise with Mars and try to use its existing potentials instead of confronting it. Using dust storms and human activities as generators of energy was one of our key approaches to this design.

Ecological Salvation

RIGS are about to be shut down, represent permanent industrial scars, monuments to humanity's past SINS. Parts of it were transformed by them, one by one, disintegrated, transformed, unrecognizable. But people seem to have forgotten this history and need to be reminded again. We plan to remind the pilgrims of the past and cherish the peace of today.

RESIDENTIAL CROP HOUSE

Multifunctionality is the key to the adaptability of urban fabric. This means that vegetables and fruits are still sold on the territory of the forty-year market, but in a very unusual way for us. The resident is now a farmer and can spend time in the garden without leaving the building and enjoy the fruits of his own work. Strength in knowledge.

The Spider

In order to solve the problem of adaptation to a site in constant mouvement without having a footprint , we were inspired by the spider anatomy. Our vision is to transforme the station to a universal connector pole that shelters and subsists to humain?s needs.following the philosophy of the "Universal Citizen"

Respiratory Root Project

The keywords of our design are life and connection. The pursuit of our design is the romantic concept of turning desert into sea. We take the approach of modularization design: the entire habitat is composed of basic units - the towers, the shape and functions of which are inspired from the aerial roots of banyan and respiratory roots of metasequoia.

THREE SISTERS

Our main idea was to design a repetitive form that makes the most of nature's bounty so that we could grow plants inside the restaurant all year round, by using the right angles of some of the glazing and vertical growing methods we were able to save a significant amount of space.
