Don't Forget Me

Designed by AD Projects x WAO

AD Projects aspires to create spaces that transcend their physical form, becoming vibrant hubs of connection and community. We see a landscape where our projects serve as catalysts for meaningful interactions, where people come together, collaborate, and thrive.

The philosophy at WAO is one of collaboration, working together clients, consultants, designers and builders can achieve unique results that respond to each project’s challenges and opportunities

With the help of digital artist Jonny Ostrem, “Don't Forget Me" invites you into a dialogue exploring the evolving relationship between humans and AI within the realm of design. As we navigate this technological frontier, the installation reflects on our innate connection to nature—particularly the dense, forested landscapes of the West Coast that many of us call home.

Looking toward the future of design, we envision a seamless integration where the forest is not just an aesthetic addition, but an integral part of our interior spaces. This is a future where nature and design truly become one, inviting the forest back into our environments, allowing it to coexist and thrive within our built spaces.

In this context, AI emerges as a surprising ally, offering the potential to enhance our connection to these natural landscapes. By helping to create these environments, AI can play a role in designing spaces that pull humans back together, fostering connection and community.

This installation serves as both a reflection and a reminder: as we advance in our designs and technologies, we must not lose sight of the human connections that ground us—connections that AI may help to nurture and sustain.
