#BeOpenDESIGN In collaboration with architect Alberto Latorre, artist Carlos Betancourt has unveiled a stunning series of 3D-printed star-shaped modules along the shore of Miami Beach for Miami Art Week. These intricate stars, part of the upcoming ReefLine underwater sculpture park, are designed to function as hybrid coral reefs, offering both aesthetic beauty and environmental utility. The installation consists of 46 different modules, varying in size and shape, with some resembling starfish and others floral motifs. The modules, temporarily lit for the exhibition, will eventually be submerged in 15 to 20 feet of water, creating a vibrant habitat to replace marine ecosystems lost to climate change. This project is part of a broader 15-acre initiative spearheaded by OMA and Ximena Caminos, aimed at restoring marine biodiversity through innovative, environmentally functional art.

#BeOpenDESIGN Part of the Intelligent Instruments Lab, E-Textiles project by researcher Sophie Skach explores the fusion of textile design and digital music making, challenging traditional notions of musical instruments. Unlike rigid, cold materials like wood and metal, textiles offer a soft, flexible, and familiar interface that invites new forms of interaction with sound. By embedding conductive elements such as silver yarns and steel fibers into fabrics, these textiles become Electronic Textiles or E-Textiles, transforming them into sensitive, gestural interfaces for music creation.

#BeOpenDESIGN The Blooming Decay Stool by London-based designer Gisung Han is a nature-inspired, sustainable design that embraces the impermanence of materials. Created for outdoor use—especially at festivals and campsites—this stool is intended for short-term use before it decomposes and blooms into wildflowers. Han experimented with bioplastics like potato-based material, which is embedded with flower seeds. Over time, the stool grows into a plant, turning from functional furniture to a living piece of nature. With a minimalist tripod design and petal-like motifs, it’s a perfect blend of simplicity, sustainability, and beauty—returning to the earth once its life cycle ends.

#BeOpenDESIGN Alkesh Parmar, founder of London-based Studio Arp, has presented the Citrus Sinensis project, which transforms orange peel waste into versatile, leather-like materials. Using an innovative technique called APeel, rooted in his British-Indian heritage, Parmar works with citrus peel in its pliable state—before it dries—allowing it to be molded into lighting, objects, and artworks. The result is not only environmentally sustainable but also deeply connected to the origins of the orange, which traces its roots back to the Himalayan foothills.
