powersteps create powercolor
Concept:
Powersteps create powercolor
The main focus of the “powerstep design project” is based upon creating additional benefit.
The building skin tells a story color-by-color by harvesting the energy of man-made power step-by-step.
Human steps produce energy which is harvested by piezoelectric transmission by the sound insulation layer beneath the floor.
The harvested energy is transferred step-by-step to LED panels on the building exterior, providing spectral lighting proportional to the energy input.
Activity within the building is visualized on the exterior; buildings will start communicating in a simple way.
Buildings, streets, and cities will be given a slight human touch through movement and color.
Like a red blush on a human face.
