Algamatrix Exhibition – The Future of Homes: Algae, Sensors, and the Next Generation of Domestic Space

What if future homes responded to nature and the material intelligence of living systems? This exhibition explores emerging approaches to domestic space that prioritize sustainability, adaptability, and sensory engagement. Featuring inflatable algae-based modules, the installation explores responsive interiors. Sensor devices suggest how future homes might intuitively engage with their environment. Supported by Harvard Office for Sustainability.

The exhibition will be open at the Kirkland Gallery at the Harvard Graduate School of Design from April 25-May 4. An opening reception will be held on April 25 from 5:30-6:30 pm with “algae-inspired bites,” including spirulina smoothies, seaweed crackers, and nori-wrapped vegetarian bites.

FEATURING: Angelina Zhang, Benedetta Zuccarelli, Chenjie Xiong, Lydia Yan, Patrick Margain, Skye Gao, and Ya Qin
