Diffusive Thermal Architecture: New Work from the Hylozoic Series

Could the use of high‐resolution image equipment and the thermodynamic patterns that they produce have a significant application in architectural design? Architect Philip Beesley , a professor at the School of Architecture at the University of Waterloo in Canada, describes the explorations revealed by the Hylozoic Series, a collaborative series of immersive architectural environments directed by a team from the university. He explains how the subtle effects of the works are achieved by integrating active filters into canopies and screens that create immersive, forest‐like installations.
