Imagine if your home reacted to your arrival — not with a robotic Alexa or Google greeting, but by physically adapting to your presence to make you feel welcome. Hallways might self-generate as you need them, and rooms would reshape to suit your needs.
That's one idea that Philip Beesley and his team's work suggests.
Beesley is an architect and sculptor who leads the Living Architecture Systems Group, a Toronto-based collaborative practice that questions existing ideas of space and building design.
His work challenges some pretty set ideas about what our buildings are like; instead of thinking of them as inert blocks that separate us from nature and the world around us, what if we thought of them as porous, interactive, and responsive?

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
