AiryLight is a kinetic light sculpture that displays local air quality data in light patterns. The work makes air pollution visible through light variations and intensities, appealing to air quality as a broader issue.
Polyspace is a prime example of “absorbent” architecture which excels in micro dust filtration. Panels and frames with a porous structure facilitate light and air passage, serving as filters and moss growth foundations. Their innovative approach extends to versatile installations, such as dual-purpose like bus stops, building walls and structures providing micro-dust protection.
