What are the effects of climatic conditions on spatial atmospheres that include smells, sounds and light? How can diverse microclimates exist in an enclosed built space? How can spaces be "activated" at the intersection of materials and climatic conditions (varying temperature, humidity and air flow)? How could tangible materials help harvest air, moisture and energy?

Based on our observations, we explore and derive methods to disrupt the mono-atmospheric and climatic conditions in a built environment. We deal with questions such as how can natural phenomena like condensation, evaporation, stack effect, etc. be used to create diversity in climatic conditions. We experiment with materials that can “activate“ built spaces and extend, shrink or expand qualities such as smell, sound and light in specific environments. We explore interactions at the intersection of materials and climatic conditions. Where are their respective boundaries and how can these boundaries be shifted? How can they be used to harvest moisture, air or energy?
