NOUSHIN RADNIA
ArchitectCreative Technologist blending digital technology, spatial environments, and human interaction to design experiences to reimagine how we perceive both technology and space.
Air Hugs
Interactive Environments & Simulated Intimacy.
A large-scale installation using computer vision (Raspberry Pi/webcam) and pneumatic actuation to simulate a delicate human "hug." Explores how technology can create empathy and connection across distance through nuanced, responsive physical feedback.
Reconfigurable Space
Critical Making & Transformable Systems.
Academic research focused on defining space as a dynamic, reconfigurable volumetric condition, rather than static floor area. Demonstrated innovation under constraint through analog computation and DIY prototyping of scalable, adaptable structures.
Covid Confessionals
Rapid Response & Human-Centered Spatial Design.
A public installation using light and form to address social isolation during the pandemic. Created "face shields" that enforced distance while using color and light to facilitate safe, nuanced public interaction and emotional processing.
Hall of Experience
Experiential Data Translation & Public Art.
Visualizing real-time clean energy data as a dynamic public art installation. Transformed complex infrastructure data into a living, sensorial medium to activate space and promote a vision for a cleaner energy future.
