It's difficult to discern a great deal about the makeup, about the shape and about the function of these Wireflies creations. Really, they can take all sorts of forms and sizes, based how one chooses to assemble the futuristic multifaceted components. The project extends beyond the realm of professional designers and architects, inviting untrained folks to get inventive with the way that these odd building blocks are put together.
Wireflies would be a sort of game, consisting of separate modules that can be linked into abstract arrangements that define space in unusual ways. What you won't be able to tell about the project at first glance is that it's centered around wind energy and its distribution. Perhaps these petite and puzzle-like studies will influence habitable pavilions.

Trend Themes
1. Modular Architecture - Wireflies creates a new avenue for non-designers to participate in architecture and design, opening up a new market for DIY prefab homes.
2. Multifaceted Components - The idea of using multifaceted components could disrupt the manufacturing industry in architecture and design, allowing for more efficient and cost-effective production.
3. Abstract Arrangements - The use of abstract arrangements in architecture and design could influence the future approaches to building structures that are more functional and visually appealing.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - The Wireflies project presents a new opportunity for the architecture industry to cater to non-professionals and expand their market base.
2. Design - Designers have an opportunity to leverage modular miniature architecture to create more functional and creative products.
3. Renewable Energy - Wireflies' focus on wind energy and its distribution presents an opportunity for the renewable energy industry to explore new ways to create energy-efficient homes and buildings.
