Hylozoic Soil – Prototype and Installation


www.philipbeesleyarchitect.com/sculptures/sculptures.html Hylozoic Soil offers patterns of motion by mechanical components that respond to occupants’ movement within the environment. The microprocessor-controlled system includes Arduino hardware extended by new control boards, shape-memory alloy actuators and space sensors arranged in a distributed interactive system. Lightweight lattice and geodesic organizations form a structural core, employing digitally fabricated lightweight scaffolds that house distributed networks of sensors and actuators. The structures are designed at multiple scales including custom components, intermediate tessellations composed of component arrays, and general structural systems.

How to deal with the rocks in the soil?

In my lawn there are many rocks under the grass and there are many spots that grass is dead. However, one of the neighbors’ lawn looks perfect and they told me he did not dig out the rocks. So is it possible to grow perfect lawn even though there are so many rocks down there?

Do I have to put rocks at the bottom of a pot/planter before adding the soil?

Hi!
I am planting petunias and geraniums in round plastic pots with holes at the bottoms (for drainage).
So my question is do I have to put rocks down before adding the soil?
I normally do put the rocks down, and my flowers grow great, but I don’t have rocks and was wondering if putting rocks is really necessary.
Thanks for reading and I hope you can help, have a great day.

How do I remove white rocks from my soil to start a flower garden?

I decided to plant a flower garden and as I began to clear the soil, I realized that someone had previously had a garden there and used white rocks to surround the flowers, so the soil is FULL of white rocks. What is the best way to remove them? Thanks for any help!
