INTERACTIVE EXPERIMENTS
Machine Readability Check
Enter a URL, get twelve binary checks: can machines and AI search engines reach, read, identify and quote that page. Facts only — every answer comes with a way to verify it yourself.
Milled Metal
Machined keys in one aluminium console, one per service, one row per department. They start as blanks: the first click swings a robot arm over a key and mills the service’s name letter by letter, and the chips stay where they fall — until the arm swaps its spindle for a brush head and vacuums them up. Raw, bead-blasted or black anodized. Nothing moves until you do.
Explore BOS
The whole studio on one sphere — nine services in three departments, the work, the proof, the operator. Drag to turn it, click a tile to open it. One video texture drives every moving tile.
Carport Configurator
A 6 × 3.6 m steel carport as a live configurator — 50 tubes, a cut plan on 6 m stock bars, three sheet finishes, a shade net and your own price per bar. Bill of materials, cut plan, CSV and geometry read one data source. A demonstration, not a building instruction.
FUTUREPORT / THREE
A mobility and energy station for three large vehicles as a rotatable model — one shell without columns, its rear corners rounded, every face an organic composition of panels — graphite on the walls and the rounded corners, solar glass across the whole roof top — light in a few joints; every panel clickable, material and light per panel, moving side screens, a drone hangar that opens, time of day, exploded view, dimensions and test vehicles — three trucks, a motorcycle — with their door zones. A concept study, not a building design.
V8 Engine
A 6.0-litre V8 you can run, cut open and step through stroke by stroke. Pistons, rods, cams and valves follow the real crank geometry; cylinder pressure and torque come from a first-law model, live. A demonstration model.
Tilt-and-Turn Window
Turn the handle and the espagnolette drives four locking cams behind their keepers; the sash turns or tilts. Triple glazing cut open, Ug, Uw, edge temperature and dew point calculated live. Built by a master glazier. A demonstration model.
Lift-and-Slide Door
A 4 × 2.4 m sliding door: the handle lifts a 187 kg sash five millimetres onto its rollers, then it glides and brakes itself at the end. Sash weight, roller load and push force live. A demonstration model.
Landing Gear
The main gear of a fictional twin turboprop: the over-centre lock breaks, the strut swings into the nacelle, the doors follow in sequence. Emergency free fall and a touchdown with strut stroke and load factor. A demonstration model.
Walking Robot Traber
A four-legged robot with twelve joints: walk, trot and pace with inverse kinematics, the support polygon drawn live, stability margin and joint torques at every speed and on steps. A demonstration model.
Parrilla
An Argentine grill with a crank wheel: raise the V-grate over the embers and the page calculates radiant heat, the hand test in seconds and the heat moving through the meat. A demonstration model.
