Programming Space and Habitats
summary
A research program builds and tests inhabitable technologies: a programmable power grid — a networked array of sensors and actuators with a programming gateway — plus programmable wall panels (Hoberman-built) that modulate opacity and trigger projectors. Prototypes run with 2–30 users, and Georgia Tech students reprogram lights, move furniture and walls at 2 a.m., meeting stated performance needs. The claim: spaces become programmable artifacts that successfully shape focus, circulation and social behavior as an open-source space platform.
