SYNCHRONOUS RHYTHMS

This family of furniture explores the possibilities of using technology to mediate psychological and physiological states in spaces for therapeutic and otherwise beneficial ends. The project looks at the positive calming effects of conscious breathing and synchronized breathing.   It asks, Could an object or device encourage synchronization of breathe and provide a similar calming effect?  Can technological devices be life-like? What are the possibilities of using technology to enhance the effective qualities of architectural spaces? How have technologies opened possibilities for how our bodies communicate with our environment?
