HASEW: Household Appliance System with Equipped Walls

2010, 6th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

Three quarters of the global population are predicted to live in urban areas by 2050. Shortcomings of natural resources and increasing demand of user-friendly domotics make the design of innovative home environments imperative. The goal goes far beyond collecting different appliances, each independently designed. The real challenge is to design a synergic home environment in […]
