GROW is a hybrid source for sustainable power, gathering energy from both the sun and wind through an ivy-inspired design. The project combines photovoltaic and piezoelectric technologies into one system which can be fully monitored by the user. The cell-like design allows the system to be installed on the exterior of buildings, adapting easily to the building's typology. It is manufactured using recycled and reclaimed materials whenever possible to minimize its environmental impact.
SMIT, the sustainable design start-up behind the GROW project has been working on it for over two years and is currently working on a finalized version. The project is also currently part of the
'Design and the Elastic Mind' exhibition at New York City's Museum of Modern Art.
