The project was commissioned for the Gao family
hotels in Ordos, Inner Mongolia and Beijing.
Currently the light is being adapted so that the inner
surface of the 3d printed net is coated with copper.
This will strengthen the magnetic field causing to
induce a higher and more constant electric current
that lights the LED. The LED will light brighter whilst
charging the battery as it is used.
Also in consideration is the application of a
piezoelectric zinc element to produce a current strong
enough to light a 9V LED. Investigations in the field of
semi-conductors contribute to affordable, sustainable
lighting for the future, a quest for free energy.
About Margot Krasojevic
Margot Krasojević has been developing a dialogue
between architectural form, geometry, sustainability
and smart materials as an inherent part of the design
process, dictating the terms of the architectural
design criteria rather than referring to sustainable
technology as a polite afterthought.
