Flux CS

At Flux CS, we believe that light is not just an aesthetic and functional element: It is a living force that interacts with its surroundings. That’s why we are proud to have designed the lighting for City of Plants, the visionary installation by MAD Architects at Biennale Architettura 2025, curated by Carlo Ratti.

The exhibition, “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.”, explores how design can intelligently respond to today’s environmental and technological challenges, and City of Plants embodies this vision through an evolving micro-ecosystem where nature, technology, and human presence are seamlessly intertwined.

Using AI, real-time environmental data, responsive sound, and responsive lighting, the installation creates a dynamic space where plants and people interact, shaping a shared language of coexistence. Thanks to pioneering research from Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, electrodes make the plants' signals perceivable, allowing their needs to be translated into a sensory dialogue, an experience that light plays a fundamental role in amplifying.

Flux CS’s lighting design enhances the sensory experience, ensuring that light not only nurtures plant life but becomes a medium through which nature communicates. Our vision for City of Plants reinforces the idea that light is an active participant in shaping the future of sustainable architecture.

Special thanks to MAD Architects for leading this project and to Parcnouveau for designing the green spaces. Together, we illuminate a future where nature is not passive but an intelligent, responsive force shaping the cities of tomorrow.

✨ Visit City of Plants at Biennale Architettura 2025 until November 23 and experience this groundbreaking vision in action!
