Over the last four years, I've been working on Taste Buds, an edible flower cookbook.

Smart energy systems and smart lighting are complementary halves of one engine: energy orchestration sets the boundary conditions (when, how much, and at what price power is available), while lighting translates kilowatts into human experience.
