The HygroScope, designed by Achim Menges and Steffen Reichert, is an innovative installation that explores the potential of climate-responsive architecture by utilizing the natural hygroscopic (moisture-absorbing) properties of wood. This https://foxengineeringsafety.co.uk/ dynamic structure reacts to changes in humidity without the need for mechanical or electronic controls, demonstrating how natural materials can drive architectural adaptation.
