London-based designer Selene Sarı has created an air-purifier called Vox Aeris that is also designed to work as a speaker. The device's dual-purpose is the result of three modes of operation – a cleaning mode, a listening mode and a Vox mode, which not only plays music but also cleans the air. Vox Aeris purifies the air via a scientific process called agglomeration, which Sarı, explained is a method where particles group together, "much like how snowballs form".

Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.
