#BeOpenDESIGN Developed by Jade Jinwon Heo, Timer Cap helps examinees make the most of their precious exam minutes by reducing the need to constantly check the time. Many people lose track of time while focusing on their tasks, often leading to incomplete answers or rushed solutions as the exam nears its end. Timer Cap aids in effective time management, allowing users to engage fully with the exam. The device features a spring that resets when the user pulls it upward manually. Additionally, the timer changes color every twenty minutes, providing a clear visual cue of the remaining time. When time is up, it signals the user with a distinct “clang.”

#BeOpenDESIGN Architecture and interior design studio AW2 has designed four wooden cabins for the wilderness hotel company Coucoo Cabanes, enhancing the existing 25 cabins spread across a 150-hectare site in Chassey-lès-Montbozon, Franche-Comté, France. These new cabins are thoughtfully positioned to respect the area's biodiversity, rising gently from the trees along the edge of the nature reserve. Each unit features a three-level design within a protective envelope, allowing the exterior structure to unfold and reveal interior spaces that are both sheltered and open to the surrounding landscape.

#BeOpenARCH The Mineless Heritage Restoration Project by Taiwanese studio Divooe Zein Architects revitalizes abandoned industrial structures from the Chungyi Coal Mine, located outside Taipei. After mining activities ceased in 2000, these buildings fell into disrepair, becoming overgrown by the surrounding forest. Divooe Zein transformed them into a secluded retreat featuring a tea room, small theatre, and meditation spaces, all designed to foster human connection while retaining the original rough finishes. Using materials like black iron with an oil-shell-like sheen and recycled wood, the restoration beautifully blends new elements with the site’s industrial past. The aging textures of these materials harmonize with the architectural style, ensuring that the history of the location is preserved and celebrated.

#BeOpenDESIGN Researchers at UMass Amherst have developed a groundbreaking biofilm that generates electricity from sweat, utilizing bacteria that convert evaporative energy into power. This innovative technology adheres to the skin like a Band-Aid and offers an eco-friendly solution for powering small devices without the need for bulky batteries. By eliminating toxic waste and minimizing processing requirements, this biofilm represents a significant advancement in sustainable energy. Currently, it can power small devices like medical sensors, with plans for larger versions to harness more evaporation energy. More innovative portable power devices in our blog.

Constructed from lightweight polyethylene terephthalate, the Beacon Bottle for Hikers serves as both a hydration vessel and a reliable light source. It features a compass integrated into the polypropylene cap, minimizing the number of items one need to carry, and the handle is designed for easy transport and can be attached to a backpack.

#BeOpenDESIGN The Carpentopod by engineer Giliam de Carpentier is an innovative walking wooden table that can deliver snacks and drinks at the user's command via a fusion of craftsmanship, technology, and creativity. Using advanced computer software, de Carpentier generated thousands of linkage variations for the table's crawling legs, employing a machine learning approach to optimize their design based on criteria like stability and smooth movement, ensuring the table glides horizontally without jiggling, reducing the risk of spills. Control is intuitive, with a custom wand-like remote reminiscent of a Wii-mote, making it easy for users to command their Carpentopod from a distance. This unique creation not only serves a functional purpose but also stands as a testament to innovative design in the intersection of art and technology.

#BeOpenDESIGN Portuguese designer Luís César N. Giestas offers a series of YouTube videos that demonstrate how to create shoes using everyday household items and biodegradable ingredients, which are literally baked in an oven. The result, the Baking Vegan Slippers, provides a sustainable and biodegradable alternative to traditional shoes made from plastics and fossil fuels. The shoe's upper is crafted from alginate, a thickener derived from algae, while the sole combines ground cork bound with agar, an algae-based gelatin substitute. To add color, saffron or black tea is used. Design-wise, there are various options available for customizing the shoe tops.

#BeOpenDESIGN Located in Richmond, USA, Plenty Richmond Farm is recognized as the world’s first vertical farm utilizing AI to cultivate strawberries indoors on a large scale. Within the facility, 30-foot-tall towers can produce over four million pounds of strawberries annually, all within a space of less than 40,000 square feet. Unlike traditional outdoor farming, which is subject to unpredictable weather and soil conditions, Plenty’s vertical farm offers a controlled environment. Here, AI-driven software manages the temperature to create optimal growing conditions and uses artificial lighting that simulates sunlight to regulate the amount of light the strawberries receive.

#BeOpenDESIGN Iceberg is a project by Lim Wootek from the design studio Egosystem that investigates the shapes of used and discarded plastics by turning them into transparent objects. The designer collects soft plastics like bags, packaging, and bubble wrap, which are then suspended on frames or wrapped around containers to create molds. Then she pours resin into these molds, capturing the textures of the original materials and resulting in objects or trays with organic curves shaped by gravity.

#BeOpenDESIGN Studio Yellowdot, based between Hong Kong and Istanbul, collected approximately 60 eggshells over a month to create a diffuser from this waste for their pendant light series, Hatch, whose form is inspired by heat lamps used for incubating chicks.The eggshells, sourced from homes and local bakeries, are meticulously arranged and bonded with resin, creating a semi-translucent effect that scatters light beautifully. Suspended by three fine cables, the semi-translucent eggshells produce a captivating light-scattering effect when illuminated. More innovative ways to repurpose eggshell waste in our blog.
