Form, color and landscape

A restrained white and gray palette connects the structure with surrounding greenery. Green, yellow and blue introduce associations with nature, energy and technology. Organic seating forms, inspired by the pulse of the environment, contrast with the simpler architectural composition.

Interaction and renewable energy

A charging tree is conceived with solar panels on its branches, providing a visible way to communicate renewable energy while supporting device charging. A display stand and screen accommodate models, ideas and presentations. Together, these components create opportunities for public interaction and environmental communication. The design uses these everyday interactions to make the relationship between technology and nature more tangible.
