Paper Abstract:
|
Green design and electronics technology can be integrated for enhancing our living environments and social interaction in
the society. We present a novel design example, called the Prachtpaal, for the Bennekel district in the city of
Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The design of an interactive green street facility is proposed and demonstrated by using light
dependent sensors and actuators. The growth of the green plants is indicated with the special implementation of light
dependent sensors and colourful lights, so that people are stimulated in a more responsible way to take care of the plants
and communicate with each other. Adding the unique green design in Bennekel district has potential to improve the
social cohesion and living quality of the neighbourhood. |
