The BlueRoofs project combines pipe fittings with computer technologies, ethernet wiring inside pipes, and novel sensor and effector adaptations to pipe fittings. Prototypes currently in place at 330 Dundas Street combine three phase lighting with computer technology in the domain of interconnecting pipe fittings that combine mechanical, electrical, and informatic design elements, together with rooftop cooling systems that use the "blueroofs" concept (misting, narrow beam nozzles, and other spray patterns).
The blueroofs "smart plumbing" systems are made from modified pipe fittings that are Internet enabled. Buildings fitted with plumbing made from these elements produce "BuildingLogs" (buildinglogs, or "glogs" for short).
The "Architecture of One" combines cyborglogs and buildinglogs, in innovative ways.
At the heart of cyborglogs and buildinglogs, is the speed in which new data structures can be combined with physical structures, to create new applications that combine the physical with the virtual.
Wireless communication along pipe fittings, and the use of the pipe as a waveguide, allow transmission technologies to be used as informatic "plumbing".
Further research will show how pipe fittings can be used to rapidly create "tent cities" to respond to crisis situations, such as emergency health care. A prototype of a small "tent city" is being created using pipe fittings that have been modified to provide electric, informatic, and structural elements in combination with mass casualty decontamination, using arrays of spray nozzles.

Here is a list of the spray nozzles to be used in the next blueroofs prototype for an experiment in rooftop cooling systems:
