© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse It is a cultural question.
© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse And I leave it up to the reader to formulate for themselves what that question is.
© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse One potential answer, offered by E/B Office, to this undefined question is conceived upon the notion that sustainability for the 21st century should be crafted to evolve beyond conventional application of green techniques into something alive and integrated with the environment, conditioning the most sophisticated forms of creativity for the preservation of life.

Global sensors for wind, temperature, seismicity and other factors, feed data to 1,888 full-colour RGB LEDs which translate this into continuous photonic waves across the wall, displaying changing trends as they occur.

It is calculated that this wall, constructed of recycled HDPE fins, saved around 3 tons of plastic from landfills.

© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse I would add to this that it acts as a programmatic threshold spanning what we interact with and what we perceive.

In the words of the architects,DPoN will invite curious inquisition as well as detached contemplation of the synthesis between light, material, space, and global environmental information in hopes that visitors can perceive an architecture that is alive, pulsing with live information, communicating something in its own language which is indelibly linked to the material, geometry, and form of the wall itself.

Dynamic Performance of Nature / E/B Office
Posted in Architecture - Installation by Romina Carpentieri
When I began to write a review of this project, Dynamic Performance of Nature by E/B Office, I had thoughts and questions swarming in my head about the emerging trend of interactive architecture.© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse© EB Office, The Leonardo, Peter Katz, Noa Younse
