Apartment Lungs is a proposal to replace all the windows of an apartment with clear silicone, as a way to amplify air pressure changes whenever neighbors open their doors. This model demonstrates the interconnectedness of living spaces by affecting an interior whenever a nearby apartment entrance is opened.
Materials: Wood, Silicone, Air-Pump, Clear-Tubing, and Arduino
