Omnipresence is a modular drone-based system designed for creating architectural structures. This system is composed of various drone modules, each with unique capabilities. When combined, these modules can form complex structures, such as a pavilion. The concept was validated using a full-scale model of a flying module. The frame around this drone is constructed using 3D printing techniques and carbon rods, which together create a polygonal shape. This innovative approach demonstrates the potential of modular drones in architectural applications, offering flexibility and adaptability in design and construction.

As the drones synchronize, the pavilions take form with seamless precision. Each drone's geometric design not only ensures a snug fit with adjacent modules but also enhances the overall stability of the structure. This innovative approach to modular design allows for the rapid construction of versatile and resilient pavilions. These dynamic formations highlight the revolutionary impact of drone technology on contemporary architectural practices, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in modular construction.

The pavilions emerge as the drones interconnect. The polygonal shape of the drones facilitates easy and secure connections between modules, allowing for the assembly of diverse and stable architectural structures. This design enables the creation of adaptable and dynamic pavilions, showcasing the potential of modular drone technology in modern architecture.

Within the drone swarm, distinct families perform specialized tasks. Some drones act as wind turbines, positioned strategically to capture and convert air currents into renewable energy. Others integrate solar panels, harnessing sunlight to generate clean electricity throughout the day. Additionally, a separate group features LED screens, transforming the pavilion into an interactive media hub. These drones synchronize movements to display vibrant visual content, creating an immersive experience for visitors. Together, these specialized drone families showcase the fusion of renewable energy technology and interactive media in modern architectural design, highlighting their role in creating sustainable and engaging built environments.
