irido is part of my thesis : An investigation on Transformation Design in Conventional Recording Studios

Key Objective : Enhancing experience with multimodal stimulus (auditory, visual, olfactory) and incorporating ecology into the design.

Technically it has different contributions :

Its effectiveness is quantified by simulation

Artistically it’s a Multi-sensory installation (Visual, Auditory, Olfactory) with Ecology in Mind.

Its experience is evaluated by Artist in Residence

Optimize experience (Gezelligheid)

Volumetric (not surface) diffuser to preserve energy

Incorporating greenery / Ecology

Design for Disassembly (LEGO) Reuse, not down-cycled

Variable Acoustics (empowerment)
