What if architecture was designed to work for you to keep you healthy? Soo-in Yang and David Benjamin, architects at The Living have come up with a new material called “Living Glass” that will look out for your health by monitoring CO2 levels in the air. The new smart material is a thin, transparent, non-mechanical surface which automatically opens and closes “gills” in response to human presence to control the air quality in the room.

So cool. They’re doing a very important work for us. River Glow is another great project. Amazing projects!
Oh yeah. Saw this stuff last summer. Oops. Should have posted a link, eh?
this is indeed great work & has immense possibilities particularly for developing countries
Hey, I’m a student studying Interior Design, and I would just like to congratulate you all on your efforts of inventing the new ” living glass” “air monitor?”! It is fascinating! Please keep me informed via mail on all your new inventions as I am a student interested in cutting edge things, new and modern and beyond the future products. I would really appreciate it if you keeped me informed as I am unsure of how often you guys invent/release, and I would definately (in the near future) consider you guys as my top suppliers for modern objects.
Kind regards,

I am also a current Interior Design Student very interested in innovative design. I am currently working on a project that may consist of products just like these. I would love to have information regarding these and I look forward to receiving updates.
Thank you
