A new Sense of Nature? A Conversation with Architect and Researcher Paolo Patelli and Architect Pavels Hedström
Join the talk on how architecture can learn from eco-monitoring in the future – inspired by a vest that makes the user feel climate change.
Human activity is accelerating the sixth mass extinction, putting over 1 million species at risk within decades, with vertebrate populations declining by 69% between 1970 and 2022. The Gaia Communication System uses haptic feedback to translate environmental data like air quality and soil health into tactile sensations.
The Gaia Communication System
This wearable device allows people to feel ecological changes, bridging the gap between data and sensory experience. With modular sensors tracking soil moisture, pH, and wildlife activity, The Gaia Communication System fosters empathy and inspires action, aiding conservation, urban planning, research, and more.
About the event series
For the current window exhibition, „Strange Adaptions“ by Inxects CAFx invited professionals from diverse backgrounds to unfold in conversation with Pavels Hedström some of the exhibition's speculations about present and future global challenges and adaptions through regenerative design concepts.
Inxects is a design practice founded by the acclaimed architect Pavels Hedström, on how architecture, art, and technology can minimise the gap between humans and the rest of nature through design and technology.
