Nodal is a parasitic and parametric outer wall system. It reconnects human and nature in dense urban environment, activating dead buildings and bringing ecotherapy to neo-city residents.
It upcycles the grey water, food waste, air pollution, unwanted heat, to generate greens, organic fruits, fresh air and clear energy. It contains educational purposes, providing gardening activities, teaching people knowledge about plants and raising people awareness of protecting environments.

Backdrop
The story happened in a dystopia urban environment. People live in a denser and denser city, an urban heat island. No greens, no plants, no nature. Buildings are dead. The serious air pollution makes people have to close their windows. Air purifier become a “must have” product in everyone’s home.
Intro To Chance
Chance also does some basic planting jobs by using these garden tools, but mostly his job is just detecting plants life (e.g. pH scale, humidity, temperature), sending us updates. He encourages us to take care of our baby nature by ourselves, do watering, fertilizing and trimming. Because we are not only taking advantages from nature, nodal creates an interaction and symbiosis.
