Input

The Anthropocene

We live in an era ruled by human beings. Our consumerist needs have led to the exploitation and reduction of biodiversity, polluting the earth.

Process

Morphological exploration

Following the idea of bringing the world and nature into the home, a series of drawings were made to conceptualize a physical-virtual solution that can be integrated into a contemporary city lifestyle home.

Output

Smart Indoor Ecosystem

Rupa Rupa seeks to show family members that their actions have an effect on the Earth through a representation of the Amazon pollution in the intelligent terrarium. In this way, it seeks to transform responsible individual initiatives into sustainable family habits.
