Artist and designer Sey Min believes that visual data could offer us a way to better understand both ourselves and our surroundings. She shares her designs for a fascinating apartment building that physically expands and contracts depending on the energy use of the residents. What if we could see all this data just by the shape of the building?

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
