Current Projects

The Autonomous Moving Landscape (AML) is a project which is intended to link a real garden containing autonomous moving containers of plants with a real time computer generated representation of it which will also display views from webcams mounted on the containers. The AML is intended to people the grounds and lake of an intelligent building. The containers are intended to move through the environs of the building via atria, patios, verandas and roof gardens.
