ABSTRACT
The Stratus Project is an ongoing body of design research investigating the potential for kinetic, sensing, and environment-responsive interior envelope systems. A distributed matrix of material assemblies, sensors, and actuators is deployed to establish a light and air-based interior environment responsive to occupancy and atmospherics conditions. The project looks to attune attention to our immediate air-based environment and to the physical conditions that produce it and to establish an exchange of information–and eventually a dialog–between atmosphere and breather. The Stratus Project thus investigates the potential of an emerging interior environment, technologically mediated, responsive and adaptive, that considers the atmosphere, the envelope, and the breather as three components of a single system.
