Solar panels are a great renewable source of power and can be a huge help in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. How they look like seems pretty standard across the board, but there’s always room for improvement. For example, heritage and historical sites cannot have them on their roofs as there are limitations in how they should look like to maintain their status and significance. The more “modern” looking solar panels will not fit in or may not be allowed to mar the looks of these heritage buildings because of their “high visual impact”.

Designer: Dyaqua

Good thing someone has finally created solar panels that can be used for these historical buildings, at least if they have those barrel clay tiles. The Invisible Solar are panels that look like these clay tiles but actually have cells underneath them that will be able to generate solar energy and power the building they are placed on. The common monocrystalline silicon cells are made from non-toxic materials and are the “invisible” part of the solar panels. Each panel is able to reach 7.5 watt peak (peak energy capacity) and weighs around 2 kilograms each.

The ceramic tiles looks opaque but are still able to absorb the sun rays that will power the cells. This way, it can fit in right with the heritage buildings but are still able to help the site lessen its non-renewable energy consumption. They can be used for either siding or for pavement. Aside from the solar panel aspect, the Invisible Solar panels can also act as surface protection just like the usual housing tiles. They are even self-cleaning as it has photocatalytic properties.

Normally, these buildings and other archeological sites have a pretty high energy consumption so having an option to put in solar panels that can fit in with their look can help lessen their environmental impact. The panels are also recyclable so that it can complete the cycle and make it sustainable while still looking aesthetic.

Tutors: Daniel Whittaker, Thomas Schroepfer, Eva Castro, Yeo Kang Shua, Carlos Banon, Peter Ortner and Immanuel Koh

School statement:

“This collection of the top ten jury-selected thesis projects from December 2022 are representative of the quality and thoroughness of research, application and intellectual thought brought forward in our Master of Architecture programme at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).

“Graduate students investigated urban and ecological realms ranging from the South China Sea and the lower Mekong Delta to the east coast city of Chennai, India.

“Localised student thesis projects ask how architecture can elevate the dignity of homeless people, deal with environmental consequences of island expansion through land reclamation and the complexities of economical plastic upcycling and recycling.

“Together, these students’ theoretical inquisitions re-assert the role of the architect in crafting an optimistic future, harnessing emergent technology with the craft of building to produce a harmonious future in Singapore and Southeast Asia.”

What If? Reimagining Chennai, India’s Industrial Legacy by Madhumita Gokuldas Kumar

“Kumar’s project proposal seeks to reimagine a scenario where a former industrial estate can be made more accessible to the entire community (and not just cater to the emerging tourist-class with disposable income) by means of an architectural intervention, which serves the needs of the people who inhabit the surrounding dense residential neighbourhood.

“Additionally, it examines how adaptive reuse in Chennai can retain the collective industrial/factory typology and memory of the place, yet bring to it a renewed purpose in the twenty-first century.

“By utilising existing under-used reinforced concrete industrial structures, the added benefit of the reduced carbon cost of new construction can also be obtained.

“Kumar’s Master of Architecture thesis project aims to combine crafts and farming, two activities intrinsically associated with Indian villages, as an integrated circular hub for the two.”

Sponge Building: an urban architectural solution to embrace extreme precipitation by Megan Chor Xin Yi

“Anthropogenic climate change has plagued the world with extreme precipitation that leads to catastrophic flash floods, causing widespread fear and casualties while costing the global economy $82 billion US dollars thus far.

“This problem is amplified in Singapore – a tropical country with naturally abundant rainfall and expensive grey infrastructure that is steadily getting battered by the worsening rain.

“Sponge cities are landscaped solutions comprising of lush vegetation that naturally retains and filters rainwater.

“Yi’s Master of Architecture thesis project presents a solution culminating in picturesque urban wetlands that serve as an alternative stormwater management solution, and as a relief to lifeless, water-polluted cities in China.”

Sinofuturism: Mapping of Oil in South China Sea by Nicholas Lim JunYuan

“JunYuan’s thesis project looks into a future scenario. As the world scrambles to build new oil energy infrastructures – both terrestrial and oceanic – economically viable oil reserves are depleted and the world enters another energy crisis.

“China now has a valuable bargaining chip in the form of a new energy source, giving it immense power.

“A mapping of the oil extraction infrastructures explains the power and vulnerability of different Southeast Asian countries in terms of energy.

“The solution proposal: centralisation in the Spratly Islands with requirements, including providing suitable algae growth conditions, be in close proximity to major shipping routes, be centralised to most Southeast Asian countries and China, not intrude into any exclusive economic zones of countries, have sufficient available infrastructure and allow China to have a fair degree of influence.

“JunYuan’s Master of Architecture thesis found the location that fulfils all six aforementioned requirements – at the very heart of the South China Sea and its conflict: the Spratly Islands.”

Second Cycles: Sythesis of Techno-Natures by Megan Riri Moktar

“The increasingly complex transboundary flows of used electronics – involving both the global north and south – have shown evidence of missed opportunities, as well as an uneven distribution of socio-environmental risks and responsibilities.

“Working with tools such as narrative, fiction forming, infrastructure and integrated hybrid systems, Moktar’s Master of Architecture thesis aims to speculate the future of the waste communities within the larger regional setting of upcycling and recycling in an ever-changing technological landscape, with Thailand as a testing bed.

“As the next generation of high-tech electronics – like solar cells and electric vehicles (EVs) – have become more popular, researchers in Thailand have expected the increase of wasted solar cells and EV batteries.

“In the process of forming this project, the ultimate intention became clear – transforming and remediating sites polluted with hazardous landfills, as well as building a resilient self-sustaining communities in the face of climate change.

Going Public: Bringing Visibility to the Homeless in Public Spaces by Nurul Nazeera Binte Yazid

“Homelessness exists – even in a first world country like Singapore.

“It is important to understand that homelessness exists due to a multitude of reasons, not just the ones that the media feeds us.

“The project developed a framework for public spaces to be appropriated so that homeless persons will have an option to live with dignity.”

Symbiotic Coast: Coral Based architecture in Singapore’s Southern Waters by Eva Yang Funing

“From low rise villages to major sea trading hub between the East and Western countries, there is no doubt that the sea has played a significant role in Singapore’s growth as a coastal city.

“As the main material for building seawalls and dikes for coastal defence, concrete is used extensively in traditional land reclamation methods, resulting in a massive carbon footprint on top of the huge construction works required.

“Funing’s thesis reimagines an alternative to the current way of living behind the walls by living with the water, in hopes to re-establish our lost connection with the sea as we start to acknowledge it a part of our living environment.

“Looking into biomimicry as a form of inspiration and a nature-based solution, Funing’s thesis explores coral reef as a natural coastal defence solution and uncovers ways of accelerating its growth to reach the potential of establishing a new city of grown from the water.”

Plastic Perceptions by Ashley Chen Siew Li

“Li’s Master of Architecture thesis project seeks to explore architecture as a multi-sensory medium – to unravel the subconscious through the use of artificial intelligence and wearable technologies.

“Electrode placement through newly developed wearable technology focuses on the two main head-scalp locations: the front part of the brain called the prefrontal lobe – in charge of control functions – and the back part of the brain, named the parietal lobe and occipital lobe, which are in charge of sensations.

“Through data interpolation and constructive algorithms, Li’s customised programme records the location of the head, the position of the eye and dwell time upon visual stimulus – optically-perceived imagery.

“This mapping exercise determines the focus of this thesis: the digital mapping of one’s virtual surroundings to create an even more fulfilling environment in which to inhabit.”

Re:CC Rejuvenating community spaces with recycled plastic construction assemblies and community-focused recycling processes by Natalie Ng Jie Lin

“Lin’s Master of Architecture thesis project asks the question: given the importance of infrastructure and community action in achieving strong recycling rates, is it possible to redesign the waste management infrastructure in Singapore to achieve similar results among the community?

“Apart from high operation and maintenance costs of dedicated plastic recycling facilities, and these constraints restrict the expansion of the plastic recycling industry in Singapore, especially in the neighbourhoods.

“Therefore, this thesis explores the potential of a community-focused recycling centre to address the nation’s low recycling rates.

“The intervention destigmatises the waste management processing by adding value to the surrounding neighbourhood, and it seeks to raise awareness of sustainable resource consumption by increasing the interaction with recycling processes and the daily activities of the community.”

Delta Reimagined: Towards Salinicity by Melvin Wong Weijie

“Weijie’s Master of Architecture thesis project speculates a mitigative and adaptive transition of the modern Vietnamese delta into a reimagined future delta system.

“The productive ecosystems will be largely dependent on salt in seawater as a resource and through a time-based approach see through the incorporation of brackish, saline-based systems.

“It acknowledges that existing delta deterioration – sinkage and shrinkage – is largely influenced by a multitude of factors, both climatic and anthropogenic.

“Hence, the thesis will pivot from a trigger point when upstream communities decide to cut damming and remove existing dams from the Ba Tai and Ben Tre South Mekong Delta System.

“In the near future, there will come a time when the two process are incorporated and this leads to the formation of the City of Salinity.”

Landscape of Care by Koh Fang Yun

“Tapping into the transformative potential of people-plant interactions to achieve optimal population health, Fang Yun’s Master of Architecture thesis project looks to transform urban green spaces, frequently aestheticised and limited in functionality, into intensive rehabilitative assemblies in the context of high-density urban living.

“Straddling both culture and environment, urban green spaces are prime to be redesigned as the upkeep of health and well-being becomes ever more pertinent with an ageing population.

“Through intensification in the quantity and quality of urban green spaces close to the home, not only are traditional notions of environmental aesthetics disrupted, the agency to better health and well-being is returned to the individual and community.

“Fang Yun’s thesis postulates a new processual landscape of health integrated into the existing environment to support health and well-being.”

The post Singapore University of Technology and Design presents ten design projects appeared first on Dezeen.

Our bedroom is our haven, our safe space, to which we rush after a bad day at work, or simply a bad day in general! I love cozying up in my bed, snacking, and watching some Netflix, with my favorite PJs on! So, making my bedroom as comfortable as possible is a major priority for me. And one way of doing this is by filling it up with innovative designs, that just help make our lives easier and more comfortable. Hence, we’ve curated a collection of products that work perfectly for your bedroom! From a smart bed that comes with a 70-inch retractable screen to a bedside lamp that released fragrance without you having to light it – these designs will add a whole lot of value to your bedroom, and make it whole. You won’t feel like leaving your bedroom at all, once these products enter it.

1. The Air-Shape Lamp

It’s not difficult to deduce the inspiration for this work of art that’s also meant to be a design for an actual lamp. Many of us would have had fond memories of blowing bubbles through circular devices, sometimes screaming in glee as each ephemeral sphere floated and then popped. There is something otherworldly about bubbles as they display the different colors of the rainbow on their translucent surfaces

Why is it noteworthy?

It is this emotion that the Air-Shape concept design tries to capture in an almost ethereal manner. It’s as if the bubble is frozen in time, stuck at the moment of its birth when it wavers and trembles against gentle winds until it takes its final spherical shape.

What we like

• Has an element of uncertainty and fragility that also sends a message of potential and birthing
• The Air-Shape lamp can be hung in different ways

What we dislike

• Looks easily breakable/fragile

2. The Retro Candle Lamp

Meet the Retro Candle Lamp, a nifty, vintage-inspired lamp designed for your bedside table. Not only does it do the obvious job of lighting up your area with soft, ambient light, but its unique design also comes with an empty platform in which you can place scented candles.

Why is it noteworthy?

The warmth from the lamp helps activate the fragrance molecules in the candle, making it emit its sweet smell without needing to light it and potentially risk having an open flame right by your bedside!

What we like

• The lamp’s light can be dimmed as per your needs
• A handle on the top also lets you rotate, carry, and position the lamp anywhere without coming in contact with any part that may be hot to the touch

What we dislike

• Some people do enjoy watching an open flame flickering, so this may not work for them

3. The Drift Gaming Bed

The Drift Gaming Bed is created specifically for those who would rather spend the entire day playing games in bed instead of going out to smell the roses or something.

Why is it noteworthy?

The bed has a built-in 43-inch screen TV with a 4K display at the foot of your bed that you can put away when you feel like sleeping. The bed also has other “features” that are still part of the dream scenario for gamers and video bingers. The headboard is the space to put all your remote controls, consoles, and headsets. There are even some USB ports on the sides if you need to connect or charge your smartphone and other devices.

What we like

• Under the bed, you get an ottoman storage
• There are also LED lights on the headboard and the edges of the bed for gamers

What we dislike

• This isn’t the healthiest piece of furniture to have if you’re trying to wean yourself away from screens

4. Space Traveler

Space Traveler uses the principle of reflected light to create an even softer glow than using a filter or some material to diffuse the light coming from a bulb.

Why is it noteworthy?

The source of the light, in this case, a strip of LEDs, shines the light on a brass object which then reflects the weakened light across the room. Instead of some simplistic implementation, however, this lamp also adopts a composition that pays tribute to its heavenly inspiration.

What we like

• It creates an imagery of a space-faring vessel traveling space, reflecting the light of the stars and the sun during its voyage

What we dislike

• Seems more decorative than functional

5. The Hariana Tech Smart Ultimate Bed

The Hariana Tech Smart Ultimate Bed has an integrated reclining massage chair with a remote, a built-in Bluetooth speaker, a bookshelf, a reading lamp, an air cleaning system, an area to plug in and charges your devices, a foot-stool that opens up for extra storage, and a pop-up desk for the ultimate WFH setup, Netflix marathon or cozy reading hours. The sound system also features an SD card slot, an auxiliary port, and a USB port. Another interesting detail about the Hariana bed is a password-protected safe box for you to store your most precious belongings – for me, it would be my passport and snacks!

Why is it noteworthy?

You know how we always have to get up to get stuff before we settle into relaxation mode? Well, this bed was designed to have everything you will need to relax within your bed frame. It’s the ultimate bed to unwind after a long day at work!

What we like

• Features a password-protected safe box
• Sufficient storage spaces integrated into the bed

What we dislike

• Hefty price tag
• Unsuitable for homes with space constraints

6. BOOF

To elevate the pleasure of reading to a state when a book itself is the source of light, BOOF deserves a mention! Shaped like a house, the reading lamp basically comes on a metallic disk, but the fun is added when you put a book on top of its roof. BOOF, the lamp lights up, embodying the appearance of a house lit during the night.

Why is it noteworthy?

The subtle light on the window and the ground floor of the house light up when the book is placed on top. Here, the triangular roof serves as a natural bookmark for the book you place on it. The light is soft and inspiring which will allow you to focus on the handwriting you’re flipping through in the pitch-dark ambiance of your room.

What we like

• Merges with the bedroom decor

What we dislike

• It’s a concept!

7. The +CLOCK

Snagging the coveted Red Dot Design Concept Award in the Best of Best category, the +CLOCK is an automatic pill organizer and dispenser that functions like a clock but distributes pills at the time set by the user.

Why is it noteworthy?

The +CLOCK isn’t merely a clock. It’s more of a habit-building device that also happens to tell the time, hence the name +CLOCK for the fact that it’s also a clock. The gizmo sits on any bedside table and comes with an appearance comparable to the Tmall Genie Queen smart mirror. Underneath its large clock face sits a carousel featuring 28 slots for daily meds.

What we like

• You can input medicines based on days or the time of the day, with the ability to fill up to 28 slots
• Helps you build a habit to take your medicines

What we dislike

• It’s a concept!

8. MAGEPAN

MAGEPAN is a concept for a small box that frees that socket from those limitations. It’s small enough to pack inside your bag or even stashed in your pocket. And while it was designed specifically with the bedside socket in mind, its design lends itself well to other purposes.

Why is it noteworthy?

In a nutshell, it’s a magnetic wireless charger whose body plugs directly into a power socket, removing the middle man of a long cord. While that might not make sense in normal cases where such sockets are far away, hotel rooms are filled with such facilities that don’t get used that much because of their location.

What we like

• The charger has a handy night light that will keep you from groping in the dark

What we dislike

• It’s a concept!

9. The Tablecloth Side Table

This side table looks like a modern sculpture that captures the gentle curves and surfaces a tablecloth in the middle of falling into place.

Why is it noteworthy?

Tables are meant to be stable to be useful, but the Tablecloth side table seems to provoke contrasting images of stability and fluidity. While most tables have four legs to have a symmetrical balance, the Tablecloth only has three. Its metallic surface gives it a rigid appearance, but its curved edges almost give the illusion of movement. Even the shape of the legs, which taper sharply to the feet, are ones you’d associate with dynamism or even imbalance.

What we like

• Depicts a piece of fallen fabric
• A unique take on an ordinary piece of furniture

What we dislike

• It’s a concept!

10. The Bed Hanger Rack

This interesting concept brought to light is the Bed Hanger Rack, which as the name suggests, is an extension of the open cupboard concept. It attaches to the bed and offers space to hang clothes and racks to stuff smartphones, remotes, game consoles, and other accessories you’d want handy while in bed.

Why is it noteworthy?

In addition to the hanging storage and shelving extensions, the hanger rack gets slightly more interesting with its assembly: possible to match the layout of your room. The rack can be installed alongside the shorter front or the longer side of the bed; so that it can attach without having to change the placement of the existing bed. The effective usage of the space above the bed permits you to effortlessly store everyday wear on hangers around the bed; so you skip the trouble of folding and sorting the clothes in a regular cupboard.

What we like

• Makes the whole process of clothes management efficient and convenient

What we dislike

• Space-consuming design

For our latest lookbook, we’ve gathered eight bathrooms where the sanitary ware adds a splash of colour, ranging from a green Portuguese “shower tower” to a bathroom with pink marble washbasins.

Although white toilets and basins are still the default choice, increasingly interior designers are experimenting with adding colourful sanitary ware to bathrooms.

Among the designs in this lookbook are stylish black toilets that add a graphic touch to the bathroom, as well as basins in a range of pastel hues including pale blue and avocado green.

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration see previous lookbooks featuring interiors with split-level living areas, mix-and-match flooring and homes with cleverly hidden lifts.

Les Deux Gares, France, by Luke Edward Hall

British designer Luke Edward Hall’s design for this Parisian hotel features plenty of patterns, bright colours and printed furnishings.

This can also be seen in the bathroom, where a green toilet and matching green sink stand out against the mustard-yellow wall and zigzag floor tiles. Above the sink, a mirror in a darker green hue complements the interior.

Unit 622 in Habitat 67, Canada, by Rainville Sangaré

Design studio Rainville Sangaré’s design for an apartment in architect Moshe Safdie‘s brutalist Habitat 67 building mostly features discrete colours, but in the bathroom, colourful sinks and a matching mirror break up the monochrome surroundings.

The washbasins have black Corian tops and the smaller of the two is used to wash calligraphy brushes.

The perfect future-fashion accessory to take your AirPods Pro case from boring to blingy…

Let’s just admit the truth – the AirPods Pro case is downright ugly. There’s so much that Apple could have done, from something as simple as adding a logo, to perhaps using materials like glass or aluminum. Instead, the AirPods Pro case looks like a box of dental floss, instead of like the world’s most popular TWS earphone. The G-CUBE changes that, with its magnetic snap-on design that gives your AirPods an instant makeover in seconds. The G-CUBE’s design both protects and highlights your AirPods Pro case, with a luminous ring around it that glows in the dark, and a lanyard hole that lets you easily hang your AirPods case around your neck like it’s a fashion accessory.

Designer: Alex of Sonkoloro

Click Here to Buy Now: Two for $15 $60 (74% off). Hurry, exclusive deal for YD readers!

The cyberpunk-inspired design of the G-CUBE elevates the AirPods Pro to an absolutely new aesthetic. The two halves feature an outer and inner armor made from an ABS+PC plastic blend (the same plastic used on the Nokia 3310), with rubber pads to cushion your AirPods Pro case from bumps and scratches. Both halves have transparent panels on the front and back, letting you view the case inside, and an open base that still lets you plug a charger in without taking the G-CUBE off. A luminous ring on each side helps your AirPods Pro case glow with a bright green hue, and N52 rare-earth magnets help hold the two halves of the case together with a satisfying MagSafe-like snap.

Magnetic Installation – Built-in 8 strong N52-grade magnets allow easy opening and ensure good stability when closed.

The G-CUBE works like an outer armor for the AirPods Pro, although the way it’s used differs from other cover cases. The way it sits on your AirPods Pro case means you have to disengage the two halves if you want to open the lid to access or return your TWS earbuds. It admittedly adds an extra step to the procedure, but turns it into an engaging fidget-like activity that you can even do with one hand if you practice enough. This also frees up the AirPods case in a way that doesn’t bind it permanently to the G-CUBE. That means you can pop it out whenever you want and place it on a charging pad when it’s on low power, and put it back inside the G-CUBE when you want to step out and have your cool buds hanging from your neck like a mecha-medallion!

The G-CUBE comes in two color variants – an EVANGELION-01-inspired purple with the glowing green ring, and a white with a glowing teal ring that takes inspiration from the awakened form of the Unicorn Gundam RX-0. The G-CUBE case is available for an early bird discounted price of $15 (a secret perk gets you two G-CUBEs for the same price), with a braided nylon neck-cable available as a $3 addon.
