Mosscale

Low-cost maintenance sustainable development

The Mosscale Moss Monitoring System enhances bridge safety in underprivileged areas by using resilient moss to detect conditions during typhoons. It features a low-cost coconut coir water-retention layer, a flexible anchoring layer, and a 3D-printed surface for easy installation. When a bridge undergoes minor deformations, the moss changes from bright green to yellow, providing a clear visual warning to villagers and inspectors without specialized equipment.

JURY STATEMENT

We were impressed by Mosscale's creativity in using moss as a natural sensor for bridge safety. It is low-cost, eco-friendly, and intuitive, empowering communities to identify risks. Its social impact and innovative approach make it truly inspiring.

WINNER STATEMENT

This award reaffirms our belief that great design can change the world!
