The idea stems in offering a provocative, playful and dynamic take towards renewable energy aesthetics in cities, where citizens, innovators, artists and designers come together to converse, experiment and speculate new ways of engaging with small-scale renewable energy systems in the city. The question is not why we need more renewable energy – the question is how do we design for attractive aesthetic experiences with renewable energy, so that we naturally yearn more for it?

Salt House is located on the edge of town’s historical center where all the streets cross at perpendicular angles on a grid that abuts the sea. It's set in a seaside meadow as an elongated volume that draws a simple line in the undulating landscape, leaving as small an imprint in the existing biotope as possible. It’s cross-section was inspired by traditional fishermen's houses prevalent in the area. Interior provides a semi-transparent space of both openness and intimacy, welcoming nature in.
Renewable energies such as wind and sun fluctuate, so it is becoming increasingly important to have storage facilities. Component activation is a technology that can effectively store energy without additional costs by using the existing building mass. For the first time, the multifamily house in the town of Hallein demonstrated scientifically the future potential of TAB in massive old buildings, using amazingly simple components. The potential of replication is huge!
An old public transportation vehicle turned into a Makerspace with full equipments required and travels the Europe in order to teach the basics of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to students.

It is only comparable to the Big Dig, completed in Boston, USA. This is perhaps the first european project that truly integrates large infrastructure and the built urban fabric with the natural environment that surround them.
Transversal Aesthetics is a platform for experimentation with art, education and social space. A place of confluence between artistic practices as a space for critical research; educational activities as a space for the production of content, interaction and transfer of learning; and the urban context as a space of relationship between specific themes of work and a specific active social space surrounding it.
