Hyphagrid - FMP – The Hyphagrid is a network of sculptural gravity batteries which relieve pressure from the grid by storing energy in the height of a steel telescopic structure contained within each sculpture. The sculptures move up and down all day, storing and releasing 900KwH worth of Electricity in 24 hours.
The Lifetime Co. – A speculative service that uses Machine Learning to identify global issues and then distribute bespoke tasks to individuals. The small tasks, being tackled by many individuals eventually stack up to provide long term benefits for a more sustainable future.
Sleepstack - Collaboration – A pollution filtering homeless shelter for urban areas. Built of scrap twin wall drainage pipe, second-hand scaffold, and plywood sheets. Pollution is filtered on the hoarding by Airlite paint and a HEPA filtration ring located at the back of each unit. Designed to be washed without entering and transported and assembled quickly and easily using scaffold.
