GROW.1, a revolutionary product that adheres to the values of environmental responsibility from SMIT [Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology], appeals to the quality of life concerns (environment, health, and energy dependence).

GROW’s unique design incorporates a proprietary, patent-pending combination of photovoltaic and piezoelectric technologies in one system that can adapt to different building typologies, programmatic demands, and regional climates.

Using a life-cycle analysis (LCA), GROW will utilize recycled and reclaimed materials wherever possible and insure that at the end of GROW’s lifespan, sustainable methods of recycling and reclamation will be carried out to minimize GROW’s environmental and resource footprint.

GROW.1 has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art: Design and the Elastic Mind, from February 24th, 2008 – May 12th, 2008 in New York City. The exhibition highlights examples of successful translation of disruptive innovation, examples based on ongoing research, as well as reflections on the future responsibilities of design.
