HYDROSENSUS 2.0

04/26/2010 - 12:19 pm

The Operative HydroSensus (OHS) project is designed to establish a new relationship between urban residents and their public waters. The OHS is a floating platform that combines bio-mimicry components to improve water quality with sensory technology that measures improvement and broadcasts it on multiple channels. Through a framework of communication and education the OHS will create a way for users to ‘talk to the river’ – receiving immediate information and understanding the effects that changes in the built environment such as catchment basins and green roofs can have on the health of the urban ecosystem.

The HydroSensus project is developed in collaboration with Jenny Chen-Cheng Chou.

OPERATIVE hydroSensus

11/02/2009 - 1:51 pm

Operative hydroSenus is a mobile buoyant pod for water monitoring and remediation. Combining high- and low-end technology, it operates as constructed wetland, aquaponic farm, monitoring station, and communication platform, addressing site-specific requirements. The project aspires to establish a mutually responsive interface between water and local communities, focused on water related concerns.
