Start by showing my books that deal with Energy Waves/ and Architecture:
Designing with Light (light waves)&
Shape of Sound (sound waves)
Pages from DWL :
Dr. Lene Hau (light);
Arvo Part (White Light);
Stephen Vitiello (World Trade Center Recordings);
Robert Wilson (Stage Director + Playwright – Einstein o.t. Beach)
hMa’s WaveLine - Building developed thru studies of Energy Waves
Architects Howeler and Yoon - Sound and Light studies
Sound Artist - David Dunn: Sound to Heal Damaged EcoSystem
Composer - Arvo Part: Silentium: Silence (the base condition for sound)
Dr. Lene Hau : Experiment :
stop a light pulse -
then restart it
Infinity Chapel, Greenwich Village, NYC :
Uncertainty of light and sound sources remove edges of the space
Lack of Edge creates infinite, fluid space : Liminal Space
Biomorphic Electrostatic skin on Chameleons : color change related to environmental factors
DWi-P: Electrostatic skin embedded in Glass creates Smart Phone connectivity
Chameleon adapts to surroundings and changes color
Smart glass adapts to light and changes color
Electostatic Film also can cause patterns to emerge, and create coloration changes, similar to the Chameleon
Chattanooga Nature Interpretive Center: Building Designed in Response to Temperature, Sunlight, Water Collection, and other natural factors
Bio-morphic solar panels based on leaves Cyborg Technologies: Enhanced Human Performance Connectivity to the Programmable World
Biomorphic Design and the development of Solar Panels based on Leaf Forms
Biomorphic research allows for ‘cross species’ enhancement : leg enhancement based on insect locomotion
This leads into Cyborg Technologies
Cyborg Technologies:
Human Enhancement will extend to the ‘Sensor Revolution’ and Yes –
you will be connected to your Toaster

New Institutes that are Developing the New Technologies for Human Dwelling:
FLinT :Center for Fundamental Living Technology
Mission: Assemble the Components for Minimal Living SystemsThrough the Chemistry of Life-Like Systems
Life-Cycle Simulations:
Simulations of the self-replicating nanocells that not only metabolize, but also generate inheritable genetic information
Biomimetic Reactors:
Catalytic Networks and Energy Harvesting Capabilities placed into an Integrated system.
FL in T: Use of Computer Simulations to create artificial life-forms to Develop new Biological Systems to Enhance and Improve Existing Human
Systems
‘NBIC: Nano - Bio - Info - Cogno’
Ant Colony Networks ::
Ants use algorithms to regulate foraging, a pattern similar to TCP – ‘Traffic Control Protocol’ – used to regulate Internet data traffic. Ant protocols - ways that human engineers can improve data networks within Smart Homes. Ring networks – used by ants - more secure than linear networks: much easier to repair when a piece within the larger network collapses
Ring Networks allow for the continuing functionality of a system, even as parts of the system go down. The flexibility of the ring relationships is a better way of wiring Smart House systems
‘Smart’ Water Meter
Smart Grid Connectivity via Ring Networks
vs. Existing Linear Networks –
Ring Networks are stable //
Linear Networks are Prone to Crashing
