Habitat Hotel Designed by Enic Ruiz of Cloud 9 ArchitectureThe Habitat Hotel is a working scale model of a hotel by architect Enric Ruiz of Cloud 9 Architecture.
The hotel consists of a building with an "energy mesh" wrapped around it.
This "energy mesh" has individual nodes that collect the sun's energy during the day and at night gives off a specific color according to the amount of energy collected.
The model's mesh consists of 500 tri-color LEDs controlled by a PIC microprocessor.
Also imbedded in the model's mesh are photosensors which determine the brightness on them and give off a color according to the energy color scheme.
This model was created for the exhibition "New Spanish Architects" at the MoMA in New York, Feb 2006.
