Biomimicry

Focusing on the idea of attracting people, we wondered to what extent could nature inspire our design.

Animals and plants use different stratagemes to catch attention. Many animals use sounds to comunicate and warn. Others, like fireflies, use light. Thus, we decided that some of our activities create either light or sound. Moreover, we will place diodes on the ceiling to attract attention when the sky goes dark. Colors also take a prominent place in attraction. The ceiling will be covered by a very special material inspired from butterflies' wings, called Chromaflair, whose color depends on the angle at which it is viewed and the incidence of light.
Obviously, we want Playce to be self-sufficient. Some games will use water, so we will store water from the rain in a tank. Last but not least, solar panels will generate the electricity we need for lighting.
