The Floating Forecaster

Using barometric pressure and pressure tendency used in weather forecasting since the late 19th century, Floating Forecaster comprises thirty levitating spheres rising and falling in a variety of shapes and sequences to represent oncoming weather conditions. With the use of an iPhone, the user takes control of the forecaster to form their own flowing energy pattern.

Inquisitive Fountains:

A congregation of curious drinking fountains. Each fountain, equipped with its own personality, fidgets about looking for a new friend. On approach it will elegantly arc down to fill your cup.

Through the synthesis of nature and technology, these structures explore the relationships we have with objects and spaces that surround us on a daily basis. The simple gestural connection creates a stimulating and symbolic moment.
