OVERVIEW

Ada is the first architectural pavilion project to incorporate artificial intelligence. Ada's knitted light immerses visitors in a responsive and interactive glow of photoluminescence driven by individual and collective human-expression data gathered and housed within Microsoft Research Building 99.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Ada is a collaboration by architectural designer Jenny Sabin and Microsoft Research, as it embodies performance, material innovation, human-centered adaptive architecture, and emerging technologies. A network of sensors and cameras located throughout the building offer opportunities for Ada's audience to engage, interact with, and drive the project.
