The Stratus Project is an ongoing body of research that develops kinetic, environment-responsive envelope systems. The first prototype uses smart surfaces and responsive technologies through fabrication methods in the development of a thick suspended ceiling that produces a light and air-based architectural environment using distributed technologies and systems to sense energy and movement flows, tempered by occupant-responsive feedback to define envelopes of intimate and collective space and to bring attention to the agency of the breather relative to the air-based environment. The project was exhibited at the University of Michigan Taubman College Gallery in Jan–Feb 2011.
