Award-winning architecture firm ANARCHITECT explores the correlation between natural sunlight and the human body via this abstract public installation which debuted during Dubai Design Week. The project offers an artistically developed space for exploration and contemplation.

Dubbed 'Circadian Light Synthesis,' ANARCHITECT's design consists of two parts. Both boast strategically developed silhouettes that allow the structures to display "the various ways sunlight can dictate the human body's natural clock." The architecture firm worked alongside [Delta Light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vantagenova-delta-one), Abanos, [Matteo Brioni](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snap-luna-matteo-actuators) and [Prime Metal Industries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coverings-2026) as it was erecting its public installations.

For materials. ANARCHITECT used something with rich texture, raw and that was closely interconnected with the earth — the TerraPlus Cammeo clay which was developed by Matteo Brioni.
