Arcology System is a data-driven, modular, adaptable interior construction system with integrated IoT-sensors enabling usage data to inform the physical built reconfiguration.
About
Arcology System is a proprietary manufactured, data-driven, and empathic Interior Construction System comprising extruded aluminium connection profiles (much like a Meccano set) that integrate wall, ceiling, and floor components (by others.) The lightweight recycled aluminum profiles connect to form a proprietary ‘smart grid’ able to integrate a variety of single/double glazed, solid, and or sliding doors/ walls with plug-and-play power and relocatable lighting within the same grid. The pre-engineered, homogenous components allow a building interior to become completely flexible and adaptable by becoming the inner connective infrastructure integrating ‘known’ tested and certified materials (by Others.) The entire system supports pre-approved modular-sized wall finish and ceiling panels (by Others) and proprietary integrated BLE-enabled empathic magnetic lighting/ controls, ‘smart grid’, doors, and IoT sensors by Arcology System.
Key Benefits
A typical commercial interior is re-fitted every 5-7 years with diminishing virgin materials being re-acquired and the existing disregarded as waste. Interior alterations typically begin shortly after a space is constructed driven by churn along with financial or operational changes causing business disruption and unnecessary additional capital and operational expense. Arcology System integrates the siloed interior construction raw material supply chain around a proprietary system of extruded aluminium connection profiles. The building interior is now able to be made flexible and adaptable according to user requirements avoiding the cost, waste, downtime, and natural attrition associated with conventional construction. The multitude of interior construction materials, subcontractors, and specialist one-off connection details are replaced with a standardized, homogenous, adaptive, pre-engineered, dry construction system suitable for new and retrofits, installed quickly by a single team of semi-skilled labour with unrivaled lifetime value.
Applications
Interior Construction of Commercial, hospitality, educational and retail environments
