Strategic Objectives
• Master the science of converting ambient light into localized chemical energy.
• Explore the design of synthetic surfaces that mimic biological metabolic processes.
• Reduce infrastructure costs through self-maintaining and self-healing material systems.
• Bridge the gap between passive architecture and active, living ecosystems.
The Core Challenge
Traditional materials are passive and decay over time, requiring massive external energy and labor for maintenance and repair.
