In a room the special illumination co-operating with biorhythms of the person, and a window with the projected image is equipped. Architects describe a room as the demonstration project which investigates interaction between architecture, technology and a human body.

Future Hotel enters into project IAO Inhaus2, which main accent — to correspond to expectations and requirements of visitors, by means of use of technologies of tomorrow. Mixing borders between technologies and an interior, in design of a room last innovations in the field of media both visual communications, and the prototypes of products created by known manufacturers are shown.
Technologies function on a background, imperceptibly, giving possibility personally to supervise media, light, a climate. In a room there is a bed with active comfort, an intellectual mirror, the huge display-window, light adapting for biorhythms of the person.

The soft transitions, the accented individual corners create special atmosphere in a room, the external form of "capsule" becomes the interface showing interaction of the person and technologies, soft and firm materials, balance between functionality.
Applying methods of parametrical design and semi-automatic technologies, architects from LAVA have created realistic design the concept of the house of the future.

Erika interviewed me!

First, let me apologize for starting 2012 off really lame. I have currently read zero books and published one post (that I didn't even write the bulk of, since it was a guest post.) Things have been really crazy around my house lately and I have found myself lacking the motivation I need to really... well, be me. SO.
BUT... I have a few things planned for this coming week that *should* help get things back on track for me, end the lame & get things moving again. (Including some giveaways, so yay for that:) )
Today though, I do have a link for you guys! Erika at One a Day YA asked if she could interview me a while ago for a blog event and that interview went live today!:)
You can head over to her blog: One a Day Y.A. to see what I have to say about lots of cool stuff, like favorite books, and why I had nightmares of a kid of driving over the lip of a volcano into a sea of oozing, boiling lava... :)
