The project deals with the environmental problem of water consumption. The aim of this work is to experiment the recycling of dishwasher wastewater through its reuse in growing edible vegetables or ornamental plants; this can also accomplish the valorization of nutrients present in the wastewater. This new process allows to ensure washing functions coupled with vegetables production and to affect users’ environmental awareness and habits, following a user-centered system design approach to understand the users and involve them actively in the system development. The presented work is also aimed to experiment a multidisciplinary approach in order to face environmental problems.
Since the rise of the digital revolution in architecture, and even more so with the emergence of a new generation of enabling technologies structured on digital interfaces, the interactive-relational dimension has become central to the design agenda. The experimentation on responsive morphologies that emerge from the synergy between data and design, and whose artefacts mark a return to the real world that incorporates physicality into the design process is significant. In addition, they represent a synthesis of the ability of such digital technologies to dynamically discriminate, process, and interpret heterogeneous potential data derived from the context.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
