Beyond the Binary

MARKET • A lamp in the shape of an extraterrestrial rock. 3D-printed concrete made from corn waste. Circular solutions inspired by cutting-edge science. We share the products defining the market today.

OUTDOOR ORIENTATION • Using architecture as a lens through which the outdoors is experienced, SAOTA designed a pavilion for YARDCOM as a continuous living landscape that dissolved the boundaries between built environment, nature and object.

HIDDEN INNOVATION • With its new smart toilet, Spanish bathroom manufacturer Roca integrates technology and aesthetics in equal measure.

ELEMENTAL GROUND • In the wide-ranging collection Grounded, Object Carpet pairs technical performance with atmospheric presence.

DESIGNING FOR DEMOCRACY • As World Design Capital 2026, the region of Frankfurt RheinMain explores how design can help inspire everyday civic engagement.

ONES TO WATCH

EARTHSCAPE STUDIO • Earthscape Studio demonstrates how local materials, vernacular techniques and minimal site disturbance can replace the carbon-intensive defaults of conventional building practice.

VERA VAN DER BURG • Instead of asking AI to think for us, Vera van der Burg asks what it reveals about us. By building her own algorithms from scratch, the Dutch designer turns artificial intelligence into a tool for self-reflection rather than automation.

RUSSO BETAK • Pairing the precision of digital fabrication with the inherent variability of biomaterials, Russo Betak develops objects that exist somewhere between the engineered and the organic.

Husos • In Diego Barajas and Camilo García’s world, the caterpillar is a neighbour, the butterfly a client, the wetland a collaborator and the spindle a manifesto; architecture, they believe, has always been for everyone.

NATURAL BALANCE • By pairing technology with endemic natural references, STILL YOUNG designs commercial spaces that feel contextual, human and alive.

ROOT CODE • From AI systems trained on rainforest data to robotic plants fed by biodiversity statistics, the projects in this Look Book trace the charged territory where nature and technology meet – and, occasionally, test each other. Some ask whether machines can learn to speak the language of living systems; others embed computation into bark, soil and breath. Together, they bristle against the expected, proposing instead a series of encounters between the organic and the engineered, the ancient and the emergent.

INSIGHTS

‘Technology isn’t the problem. The problem is the attitude we bring to its design’ • Cities are living things, but how often are they planned that way? As urban populations surge and ecological systems struggle, two very different practices are asking whether nature and the city were ever truly separate – or whether we just forgot they were always one system. FRAME contributing editor TRACEY INGRAM brings together DROR BENSHETRIT, founder of Supernature Labs and the architect behind the Bioplanning framework, and ANAB JAIN and JON ARDERN, the founders of Superflux, a London-based futures studio whose practice grounds urban thinking in myth, multispecies design and the politics of imagination.
