	The physical prototype was developed as a material translation of the project’s broader interior strategy. During this phase, the design was refined to meet fabrication constraints, including segmentation, print orientation, tolerances, and assembly sequence. These adjustments were not treated as secondary technical compromises, but as part of the design process itself, allowing the geometric logic of the proposal to remain legible while becoming buildable. The prototype preserved the relationship between an ordered structural frame and a more differentiated internal geometry, showing how the Voronoi-based system could be fabricated as a series of components and reassembled into a coherent spatial fragment. In this sense, fabrication became a way of testing not only form, but also the feasibility of the project’s multi-scalar design logic.

	To extend the prototype beyond static representation, the model was equipped with an embedded lighting system consisting of an ESP32 microcontroller, addressable LED strips, and an external power supply. This setup allowed the prototype to function as a responsive environmental device rather than as a purely visual object. Light was treated as an architectural layer integrated into the panel's geometry, capable of supporting spatial atmosphere, temporal variation, and behavioural response. The electronic assembly, therefore, played a central role in the project: it connected the spatial concept to a tangible output and enabled testing of how adaptive lighting could operate within a confined habitat.

Through the interface, the user could select different presets, activities, and behavioural scenarios in order to test how the lighting environment would respond. The logic of the interface was not based on arbitrary colour selection, but on the interpretation of bodily state and intended use. Presets such as calm, focus, stress, and overload were combined with activities including sleep, eat, leisure, and work, while two response modes, mirror and compensate, defined whether the environment should reflect or counterbalance the detected condition. In this way, the interface served as the user-facing layer of the adaptive system, demonstrating how lighting could serve as a responsive mediator among physiological state, routine, and spatial atmosphere.

			The prototyping phase tested how the project’s adaptive logic could move from computational design into material and environmental implementation. Rather than functioning as a final product, the prototype operated as a proof of concept through which geometric refinement, lighting translation, electronics, and user interaction could be evaluated as parts of a single responsive system.

	~~Environmental input~~ values ~~were translated into controllable light scenarios through a multistep~~ workflow: CCT and illuminance were converted into RGB and brightness values, ~~refined~~, ~~embedded in~~ the ~~Arduino logic~~, and ~~finally connected~~ to ~~a browser-based control interface~~.		A central challenge of the prototyping phase was translating the predictive lighting model into values that could be implemented both digitally and physically. The AI workflow generated correlated colour temperature (CCT) and illuminance values that were meaningful from circadian and environmental perspectives, but could not be sent directly to the LED system. These outputs first had to be converted into RGB colour values and brightness levels. The resulting data were then refined to ensure stability and compatibility with the rendering environment and the physical hardware. In the digital model, values were cleaned, bounded, and remapped to produce a controlled luminous gradient. In the physical model, RGB values were additionally scaled by brightness to keep colour and intensity coupled. This workflow established a continuous chain from environmental input to luminous output, allowing the prototype to test not just light effects, but the operational logic of an adaptive architectural environment.
