Adaptive Walls explores the use of space - so vital to the future - and proposes flexible dividers for multi-purpose spaces.

It is designed especially for co-creative activities, entertainment, education, conferences and exhibitions.

The architecturally adaptive environment created by the flexible system enables work and play, social and organizational interaction, physical and cognitive activities. Re-configuration also facilitates communication, worker satisfaction, comfort and productivity.

The system consists of re-configurable space dividers that double as display screens, and are suspended from modular tracks on the ceiling.

Each screen can: slide and rotate along tracks to programmable locations; roll down to divide the space; and display information. A digital interface allows you to choose or modify preset configurations, and program your own.

The divider screens are made of flexible Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) and emit light from one or both sides. They can change translucency and color. You can make the screen almost transparent to encourage communication, as during a brainstorming session, or opaque to symbolize "do not disturb."

As a display for video and motion graphics, the OLED technology supports a faster refresh rate than LCD.

The floor is an intelligent, electromechanical surface. It recognizes the location of the space dividers, and can change color in an active "cell" or area. It can control spatial acoustics, voice amplification and sound dampening.

The digital interface allows you to configure: size and layout of the space, light, sound, floor surface, screen image and video. It tells you the time it takes to re-configure, and the space available to each cell.

When you press the GO button, the physical attributes of the environment configure to the programmed settings.
