Perkins & Will
Internal startup pursuing purpose-driven, client-focused digital transformation for the built environment.
Array of Things
The Array of Things (AoT) is a collaborative effort among scientists, universities, federal and local government, industry partners, and communities to collect real-time data on urban environment, infrastructure, and activity for research and public use.
Previous Work
Spatial Sensing and Live Data Collection
These are prototypes of a space sensor. It contains a sound-pressure sensor, light level, and temperature and humidity. Data from the sensor is collects at 1-minute intervals and is transmitted to the dashboard in a 5-millisecond rate.The sensor is connected to the internet via WiFi and is powered by a 5V USB connection or wall wart.
Sensors such as this allow for activity mapping (via relative sound levels) and environmental tracking of space over time. Additional modules can be connected including air-quality, motion and even vibration to detect surface-level activity when attached to chairs and tables. Built on electronic prototyping hardware, the footprint can be further optimized with a smaller breadboard and can be incorporated into a custom PCB for manufacture at scale.
Beacon Utilization Tracking
10 months of continuous beacon tracking of time spent at work at the desk. The beacon registers every time the user enters and leaves the area of their desk. Analytics include the total amount of time spent each day at the desk, time spent working in the office on weekends, maximum desk sessions (focus work spent at the desk and other metrics which can be segmented and aggregated over time. Graphs and charts below reflect dashboard prototypes of various metrics which could be monitored and assessed across worker groups and populations to determine worker typologies.
