In a near-future scenario characterized by hyper-optimized, synthetic, and hermetically sealed electronic devices, the AA-GLC project introduces a radical new form of intervention: symbiotic, biodegradable vandalism. This concept challenges the permanence and closed nature of modern technology by temporarily disabling objects like vapes or USB ports using living, organic matter.
The core of the system is the application method: a specialized thermal spray base used to deploy a unique bioplastic mixture composed of Agar-Agar, Glycerin, and Water (71%/21%/7%). This carefully formulated compound serves as a temporary, living habitat for sprouting seeds, such as lentil, bean, or corn.
For a period ranging from 4 to 7 days, the target technological object is rendered partially unusable as the sprouts establish themselves and the bioplastic solidifies. Crucially, this intervention is non-destructive; the bioplastic gradually dries out and naturally degrades, leaving the object functional again and entirely free of synthetic residue.

The capsule's design prioritizes optimized logistics and sustainability (recyclable materials and a circular approach), highlighted by its lightweight, modular structure. The capsule is sold disassembled and allows for rapid assembly, facilitated by a clear instruction manual, a system of sliding connections, and the use of standardized parts that simplify its deployment. Furthermore,
Albea ensures effective rest in noisy environments through excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, offering the necessary ergonomics for total comfort.

Its distinctive feature lies in the interaction with a totem, through which the child can change the color of the light emitted by the play board. This mechanism allows the thematic scenario transmitted through the transparent blocks to be transformed, thereby stimulating the creation of narratives and role-playing. Developed under rigorous safety and quality standards,
Blumen is positioned as an effective educational tool that merges free-form construction with interactive sensory stimulation.

The development of Blumen was rooted in a user-centered design methodology, prioritizing direct interaction with the target audience. We conducted several ethnographic research visits to various schools and kindergartens.
This hands-on approach allowed us to observe children's natural play behaviors, identify their preferences, and gather crucial feedback on block size, material feel, and interactive elements.
The insights gathered from these in-field experiments were instrumental in refining the product's safety features, optimizing the light-changing mechanism of the totem, and ensuring the toy effectively balanced open-ended construction with guided sensory engagement, thereby validating Blumen's potential as a valuable early childhood development tool.
The design is characterized by its soft, curved forms and primary construction in stainless steel, ensuring durability and a premium aesthetic. Functionally, it incorporates three main burners, a high-performance infrared rear burner, a retractable side table to optimize space, and adjustable height legs that guarantee versatility and ease of use.
The goal is to offer an aesthetically innovative and functional barbecue that seamlessly integrates into a luxury lifestyle, prioritizing ease of cleaning and efficient use of space.
