We are so excited to announce the opening of the Heart for the House of New Energy featuring an incredible and special opening performance by the StaatsBallett Berlin!

The Heart is an immersive environment that transforms green energy data (solar, wind, biomass) into light, form, and human experience. Like a living system, the Heart constantly shifts and responds to the flow of energy that powers it. At its core, the project explores a simple but powerful question: How might architecture make the invisible systems that power our world visible and tangible?

The Heart represents more than a single installation. It serves as a prototype for a broader vision of architecture, one in which buildings are not static containers but responsive systems that interact with their surroundings, much like organisms do. In this emerging model, energy is not merely a resource to be consumed but a dynamic relationship between natural forces, technological systems, and human behavior. Materials are no longer passive surfaces but active participants capable of sensing, storing, and communicating information. And design itself becomes a living and generative process, one that evolves through data, interaction, and environmental change.

By bringing together renewable energy data, advanced textiles, and interactive design, The Heart offers a glimpse into this future. It suggests that architecture can help us better understand the complex networks that sustain our world and inspire new ways of living within them.

The Heart is a project by Jenny Sabin Studio.

Commissioned by JSH Productions for E.ON.

Architectural Designer: Jenny E. Sabin.

Design & Production: John Hilla, Lauren Cruvellier.

Design Engineer: Clayton Binkley, Odd Lot.

Lighting Design: Aaron Mooney.

So excited to showcase two new book projects at the Spring 2026 AAP Launchpad! Here’s the first!

“Design Tech Volumes 01” highlights the transdisciplinary work of faculty, fellows, and students from the multicollege department of Design Tech at Cornell AAP. DTech is a transdisciplinary initiative pioneering innovation, research, and teaching on topics at the intersection of design and emerging technology that most greatly impact research, industry, and practice in a changing world. Bridging expertise and catalyzing exploration, innovation, and collaboration in emerging areas, including design + interactions, design + materials, and design + environments, Design Tech is a generator of new modes, methods, and applications that redefine design practice and research.

Honored to give a lecture in the long-standing Computations in Science Seminar Series hosted by the James Franck Institute at U. Chicago. Inspiring day with colleagues and students discussing networks, particle jamming, sensing and interaction design, AI, + more and the importance of creativity and making.

Bolt Tower is officially unveiled!
Jenny Sabin Studio has created a landmark sculpture for the new MAPS 4 OKC Fairgrounds Coliseum. Our 72-foot beacon of creativity, history, and community now rises at Oklahoma City Fair Park. Rooted in the stories of thousands of State Fair moments, Bolt Tower holds something truly special: a 3D-printed clay time capsule embedded at its base, filled with photos and memories shared by the people who make this place unforgettable.
Dedicated in celebration of 118 years of Fair Park history and looking toward the future, the tower stands as a symbol of connection, curiosity, and collective spirit.

DataKnit | Prototypes
In developing DataKnit, we began with a series of knitted prototypes that tested how data could directly inform material, pattern, and spatial behavior. Each sample explored variations in stitch logic, density, and geometry—translating Foundation Medicine’s clinico-genomic data into a tactile, responsive textile language.

A few weeks ago, I was honored to receive the Society Award for Leadership at the ACADIA 2025 Conference. After many years of service and collaboration within this inspiring and inclusive community, I’m deeply grateful to be recognized for my contributions. It’s a privilege to contribute to an organization that continues to push the boundaries of computational design, digital fabrication, and transdisciplinary research and practice. Thank you to the ACADIA Board of Directors and community and to our generous hosts at the University of Miami and FIU.

MyThread Pavillion | Drawings
These drawings capture the generative process of the myThread Pavilion (2012), a project commissioned by Nike for the International Nike FlyKnit Collective. As Jenny Sabin led the NYC FlyKnit Collective, motion data gathered from local runners using Nike+ FuelBand technology was translated into computational studies, knit prototypes, and ultimately the architectural geometry of the pavilion. These sketches and diagrams reveal the early investigative layers of the project—mapping bodies in motion, testing patterns of performance, and exploring how soft, responsive textiles and hard structural elements could merge into one immersive, data-driven environment.

Throwback Thursday to myThread (2012) — a groundbreaking collaboration with Nike as part of the FlyKnit Collective that explored how data, movement, and responsive material systems can come together to shape immersive environments.
In this project, streams of biometric data from runners and urban motion were translated into custom knit prototypes through computational modeling and iterative workshops in NYC. These early experiments in data-driven textiles became the architectural and material groundwork for many of our later projects — informing everything from responsive knitted installations to large-scale adaptive urban canopy structures. It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 15 years!
Always learning from where we’ve been as we build what comes next.

MyThread | Protoypes
Remembering myThread, our NYC-based pavilion for the Nike FlyKnit Collective 2012. The project didn’t begin as a finished form—it emerged through months of engagement and prototyping across NYC. In partnership with Nike, we ran a series of workshops where designers, athletes, and makers came together to experiment with knit structures, data-driven design, and responsive materials. Each prototype encoded biometric data from workshop participants and athletes engaging with the city. These samples became the data streams that ultimately shaped an architecture knitted directly from how people move through urban space. Shout out to our incredible collaborator Anne Emlein!

Our research at Jenny Sabin Lab has just been featured in a major article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) — “Designers join scientists to make living architecture a reality.” PNAS
The piece highlights how architectural systems, informed by biology, computation and material innovation, are shifting from concept to scientific discourse. Our project, Polybrick 3.0, is featured as a main case study. It’s a moment of validation for our lab’s long-term mission: exploring how buildings might behave more like organisms — adaptive, responsive, resilient.
Grateful to all our collaborators and students— scientists, architects, designers, engineers, makers — who help bring this vision into the built world. 🧬🌿
