PATTERNS /

EMBODIMENT OF FLOW / A DEVELOPMENT OF SPATIAL PATTERNS FROM SOUND

_ Ann Dahlberg

“ This is what is called speaking. I believe that is the term. When words come out, fly into the air, live for a moment, and die. Strange, is it not? ” (Paul Auster)

CITIES consist of FLOWING ENTITIES - radiated sound, electronic signals, emissions, light, transmissions, connections of nets, of servers, coincidents and unexpected meetings, smells, glances, traffic, new work... How can a built structure of this ELUSIVE CITY be like? The project investigates space-generation by sound as FLOWING / TRANSIENT entity. The work will be presented in two parts: 01 Development of transient patterns / 2D - PATTERN, ISSUE & AIM, TURNING 3D, INTERACTIVE REDESIGNS, MATERIAL, COMPONENT, SYSTEM 02 Dwelling and surveillance / SITE, GROWTH, STRUCTURE, MATERIAL, DWELLING, FRIENDLY SURVEILLANCE

2D PATTERN

01 / 2D PATTERN / “SIX VOICES” / citysound pattern “ SIX-VOICES ” / CITYSOUND PATTERN

VISUAL 2D PATTERN GENERATED THROUGH SOUND + TIME

Layering

ORIGIN SOUND

= CITY as flowing entities + an idea about the embodiement of flow = flowing entity

PATTERN = sound-waves from overlapping city-sounds are registered by a voiceprint software registrations generate a layered 2D pattern of density + transparency 03

The pattern is developed through mapping over TIME.

Frequency

Development : creating a 3D pattern where dark parts (sound) = density / light parts (silence) = void 02

Time

01 / 2D-PATTERN / DEVELOPMENT Citysounds are layered. Too many at the same time = noise. Noise lacks order - there is no pattern, sound is randomly distributed. Somewhere between noise and simultaneously discernible soundpatterns = a specific cityÂ´s charasteristic soundscape. Three sounds from human activity in a street were chosen when chasing patterns / 01 whistling 02 humming 03 telling a story. The sounds were recorded and visualized by a spectogram software (initially developed for deaf people).

Whistling and humming create easily discernible patterns, speech is non-repeating sounds in recognizable patterns - order without regularity.

SOUNDPATTERNS They were then rationalized graphically.

Soundpatterns are created when sound is periodic = a regular series of sine-wave components. The perceived amount of order or PATTERN in air disturbances caused by sound determines whether we hear speech, music, noise or something in between. TRANSIENT sound is air motion that doesnÂ´t repeat. Non-repeating sounds can still appear in recognizble patterns, as in speech.

Considering citysounds layered, the soundpatterns were layered on top of each other.

01 / THE ISSUE / AIM What if a building or built structure would interact with citizens - respond and perform - turning active shape ? What if a CITY, with its own specific soundscape, could generate shape and form in a direct and low-tech way? What if the physical CITY could become the author - unfolding the stories of its inhabitants?

3D Pattern - non-active (generated from a 2D voiceprint)

INTERACTION makes the built structure become a STORY undfolded over time. Space is now affected by the behaviour of the ones dwelling in it. There is an invitation to play, to consciousness of soundscapes and another kind of understanding of space, the space â&#x20AC;&#x153;around the cornersâ&#x20AC;?.

3D Pattern - interactive / responding to sound + performing.

01 / TURNING 3D

Layered 2D-patterns

soundpatterns connect + create space

01 / TURNING 3D - create space SOUNDPATTERNS embodied in PHYSICAL MATTER could affect :

/ whole structure of the built / “skin” / facade / provisory interior arrangement

Sound affects the whole structure What if space was generated from sound / if sound would actively shape and delimit space? Space would become flowing entity as sound flows over time.

SOUND = contributing to define space, focusing on what sound could do with space

Sound affecting construction or whole 3d-space.

01 / TURNING 3D - create space Sound affecting interior arrangement or facades.

As interior arrangement, sound could affect space in delimiting or more aggressively performing, coming out of walls or ceilings creating new spatial connections and formations.

Sound affecting the facades of a built structure could be interactive, response and perform in the CITY making built structure become transient material.

01 / â&#x20AC;&#x153;SOUNDWALLâ&#x20AC;? / INTERACTION REDESIGNS !

Being interactive - responding to sound from passers-by or dwellers, the soundwall could either be a facade or an interior arrangement affecting space. Space would be determined by the ones dwelling in it. Interactivity would promote transience, the structure would be connected to time / time as codesigner. Sound being the input, I wanted it to be a direct, rather low-tech design.

01 / MATERIAL / MAKING IT MOVE - TEXTILE EXPERIMENTS

Elastic fabric and threads were used to find out how the textile would be able to move according to the rythm of the sound-input (delivered through soundsensors / mics distributed over the textile).

Looking for a textile component with the capacity of bulging according to the soundpatterns. Testing an idea of contract + bend / release + refinding shape.

The 2D graphic patterns were put at a bottom layer and the stitches of elastic thread delineated the patterns. When pulled, the elastic thread contracted and the fabric was bulging within the boundaries of the pattern. Folded fabric could make defined areas bend outwards.

01 / MATERIAL / MAKING IT MOVE - LOOKING FOR FLEXINOL ! The experiments had made obvious that folding elastic material will not reshape after contraction. I studied shape memory alloys, like nitinol-wires (Flexinol) which have shape memory and can be as thin as hair.

SOUND/electrical SOUND / electrical current ON SOUND/electrical SOUND / electrical current OFF wire The nickel-titanium alloys can cycle current through the material. When a small electric current is sent through the wire it shortens with a great amount of force. The material goes through a change of phase - force and motion in the wire. Its performance is consistent and reliable.

SOUNDWALL / MATERIAL Smart material - architectural interactive textile with shape memory alloys (flexinol wire).

COMPONENT AND SYSTEM - BOTTOM UP

Initial experiments with elastic material now repeated with the wire. Successful.

I wanted the design of the whole structure to be determined by the single unit. Each single component should be responsive to local sound input and be capable of producing movement individually. Each component should have a simple indidvidual task. Designing the component was next step.

The effect of using shape memory alloys (like Flexinol wire) was imitated by a self-made wire. The wires were designed to have similar qualities - being able to contract by 10% and then refinding their original shape.

01 / SEARCH FOR A SYSTEM What would sound do to space? The initial idea was about light - openess and closeness / density and voids. I found an experiment already on those issues, a Living City project called Slit Wall. What interested me more and more was bending and moving, a space that wouldnÂ´t change due to light but due to expansion and negotiation of space. What would happen if two soundpatterns compete on space and if exterior and interior affected each other directly through sound? Issues of system became issues of component properties.

System creating openess or closeness while also creating movement in space. When elastic thread is pulled in some parts (according to the soundpattern), the system shuts and bulges outwards. When not pulled, the system is open and lets light come through. After shutting/bending the material would not reshape though.

When experimenting on system level I realized that if I wanted a direct and low-tech design, I would have to begin with one individual component.

Experimenting on one part bending / bulging and the other contracting.

01 / COMPONENT / FUNCTION AND DESIGN

FUNCTION

The component should be able to bulge and bend outwards.

The component is composed of two parts: the wire and the bulging fabric. When a current hits the wire it contracts. The fabric bulges.

DESIGN

The component measures 16 x 20 cm, a size that could refer to the size of a face or human scale.

Since I didnÂ´t want a visible system of wiring on the back, I decided to let the thin wires be part of a double textile component: the wired and the bulging part. The component folds on one side and bends outwards on the other. In these photos, two components are put together and bends to a greater degree than one.

The wire Each individual component is responsive to local sound-input and can produce movement individually. Each component has two shape memory wires along the length-sides of the textile. The wires are connected at each end to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;second skinâ&#x20AC;? or another piece of textile on the back which will bend outwards when wires contract. The component is sewed togther along the edges to be one closed unit. The individual components are then sewn together using elastic threads so that the fabric can stretch when patterns are changing.

shape memory wire

Sound is picked up locally through microphones/sensors and data is dispersed through a network of simple processors with simple tasks (if soundfrequence is higher than 0 contract x %). The design of the system would make it possible to tune it to the specific location. For instance, air-disturbances happening less than 16 times a second we hear as CLICK, POPS etc. If you don´t want them to affect the structure( they won´t make a pattern) it should be possible to tune the system not to react to such sounds. Too high or too low freqencies could also be tuned away. transistor microprocessor/ controller

Choice of SITE Requirements: growth potential / distinguishable soundpatterns / enough size for outward display of the 3D-patterns The site should be a space where the 3D-soundpattern could grow and get fed/informed from local sound-input without too much white noise. The soundpatterns must be distinguishable in the overall soundscape of the city. When recording sounds in different parts of Copenhagen, I found a street - Kattesundet - near Rådhuspladsen and Ströget in one of the older parts. The street is almost like cut out of solid mass (building-quarters). The soundscape here was dramatic, sounds from human activity are captured by the mic almost like if entering the stage of a theatre. Kattesundet is a buisy commercial street with smaller shops, clubs, cafés and restaurants. In this street, there is a vacant lot, a squared yard between two old buildings. One of the facades facing the yard have windows. Since the project is about a temporary construction / a residence that will come and leave / I considered that this was not a great problem. The neighbours will be able to enjoy the visit of the residence for a shorter period before it takes off again.

02 / SITE / DOCUMENTATION - MAPPING SOUND

Soundscape of Kattesundet 2, Copenhagen. Sound taken up by a filmcamera from the lot during 2 hours at two different time-sessions. One at three o´clock in the afternoon and one at seven in the early evening. Conclusion: The building structure on this street is very dense. Sounds hit the facades and are reflected, not absorbed. Very varying sounds, mostly from human activity. / Sounds from high heels, laughing, shouting, conversating, singing, whistling, sounds from plates and glass, music. But also from traffic, cars and bikes passing. Kattesundet is a street with sounds that pass by. They appear, get closer, have a crescendo and then take off. The lot is hit by some “global” sounds like sirens and churchbells. The sounds appear easy to distinguish, there is not much white noise. The soundscape is very “local”.

Running the camera at two time-equal sessions, one in the afternoon and one in the late evening, gave two very different stories. One is about a hectic commercial street with lots of passers-by, encounters and interference and the other is about a dark, empty street with no eyes.

02 / SITE / THE SPOT / GROWTH GROWTH The spot did have wonderful sound-qualities but the vacant lot was narrow and dark at groundlevel. Growth of the sound-pattern structure should therefore occur through spiral lattice borrowed from nature. Like in plant-growth, the structure grow in a spiraling way in order to get as much light as possible in a limited space. The structure is tuned specifically to the spot since the physical limits of space between buildings also limit the expansion of growth.

The temporary structure is raised and taken down much in the same way as scaffolding. The textile is fastened to the neighbouring buildings with wires. The structure will be tensile.

02 / SITE / GROWTH / FORMFINDING Living in a city can be being part of something larger, a larger community. The lot is small, 5,2 m x 8,2 m, but is part of the global soundscape. The CITYÂ´s global soundscape (sirens, churchbells..) affects the structure. Sound is carried through air as quiverings and three imagined, but frequently occurent, global soundwaves hit the lot and form the structure. Letting the larger soundscape form the structure (together with local sound-input devices in the sound-wall) makes the structure connected both on a global and local level to the CITY. The SPIRAL is energetic trace of form and suits the aim of catching FLOW, or the ELUSIVE CITY. But the idea was also to create a structure with NO CENTERPOINT. Hearing has no centerpoint, sound is emitted radially and hits you from all directions. The centerpoint of the spiral is therefore moving while the growth of the spiral is proceeding. This is beneficial for light-intake since the midpoint-area of the spiral opens up increasingly according to the growth process.

Three connected curves spiraling and growing towards light.

Scenario - global soundscape hits the lot.

Scenario - global soundscape

Tuning The curves transform into surfaces and create the structure. The 3D limitation of the lot makes the outward limits of the growing structure.

02 / SITE / GROWTH The three connected curves spiral according to a set of rules that were elaborated through experiments. Determining the outcome were space-limitation, desired number of storeys, mountable height-levels, desirable light intake. Since the lot is narrow and the adjacent buildings will shadow it, light come from above, trickling down through the structure.

Three connected curves

Creating steeper and more flat surfaces.

Spiraling through COPY + SCALE+ ROTATE

Spiral lattice growth

RULE 01 / COPY + SCALE + ROTATE : the circle is copied and scaled 5 % and the three connected curves are rotated 30 degrees each time. RULE 02 / CLIMBING : for each rotation the structure climbs 30 cm. The structure of three connected curves create an inner steeper spiraling area and an outer more flat.

02 / MATERIAL / LOOKING FOR STRENGHT AND TEMPORALITY The whole structure of the residence/work - dwelling should be easy to take down and transport away while being able to carry loads and resist forces. MATERIAL:

an architectural textile with carbon fibres. Elasticity makes it move with the forces.

TECHNIQUE: intertwining of two perpendicular thread-systems in a plain weave of carbonfibre and elastic thread to achieve the strongest possible textile. The plain weave was choosen due to the many points of intersection which gives it a greater stability. Looking at the strenght of the woven textile protecting the Mars Exploration Rovers when landing, I assumed that this technique would produce strong material. If structural tests would prove that reinforcement would be needed in areas with greater spans, a honeycomb could be sandwiched between two layers of the fabric. The textile should be inpregnated with resin.

Weaving strength and elasticity.

Plain weave - one of the strongest of textile techniques. Carbon fibres.

02 / DWELLING / SOUNDSCAPE IN A BODY / TEMPORARY RESIDENCE / WORK

This is my home - for now ! !

The temporary residence / work dwelling spiral towards light and feed from sound. At ground level is the public live sound-archive. Second storey is a sound-lab. Two large soundwalls, starting at street level and heading inwards, create a mixture of local citysounds and interior sounds in these two storeys. Here, walls and facades are folding and bending according to soundpatterns. Third storey is private. One of the soundwalls continuing all the way to the top o fthe structure act in this storey as well. The structure ends in a roof-garden. Light comes from above through transparent polymer textile . The large soundwall-facade towards the street communicates with passers-by.

02 / SURVEILLANCE To be observed - in a friendly, caring way. In this project surveillance is not about visual observance /surveillance but about registering presence through sound as well as giving response. Kattesundet is a street with few eyes during evening and night, a street where people pass rather than hang around. The Soundwall structure would be that observing ear responding to the presence of human activity. A movement of the structure following your movement, warm light coming through the textile make the street a more friendly place.

Observing passers-by and dwellers of the street in late evening. Point of observation is fixed . No one expected to be oserved, surprisement.
