Polyscalar Design [MArch Thesis]
The Bartlett School of Architecture London 2016-2017 Tutor: Evan Greenberg
Scale in architectural design is defined as the relationship between various dimensions of buildings, structures, organised space and their relationship to the human viewer. According to Miyasaka1, since architectural design begins purely from a generic idea that needs to be developed further and gain physical form, architects are regularly navigating between theoretical and em¬pirical worlds, between small scale and large scale. Working with scale – scaling up or down according to the designer needs – can help to carry out a design idea into reality by taking into consideration the details of material and structural systems, how they act and how they can help into making the design a reality. Adapting between different scales and knowing what each one is useful for can help a designer to concretize the abstract and visualize details more clearly as progress is made toward the final design solution1 . Into this research, the need to work in different scales came up due to the interest in designing on high resolution, while working with an abundance of data, in order to achieve complexity as well as consistency on a massive scale. An investigation is made on how the handling of large amount of data can yield different quantities both in the micro-scale and the macro-scale. Furthermore, if further exploring the transition from one scale to the other, the designer will have the ability to acquire a more spherical and integrated perception of the outcome that he want to accomplish. The need of transferring between scales in this project is rather essential. It is a constant going back and forth process between those scales solving different issues each time. And while each scale has limitations, it is quite interesting to observe the influence that they have between them. 1 Miyasaka, T., 2014. Seeing and making in architecture. 1st ed ed.

interactive Urban Performances [Thesis Project]
National Technical University Of Athens Athens 2015 Team: Eleni Chalkiadaki, Aikaterini Tsirepa Tutor: Mathaios Papavasileiou
In this dissertatiom an attempt was made to examine how urban performances and digital interactive technology can be combined to produce contrivances in the public space, challenging the viewer-visitor to immerse in a sensory experience. The research focuses on three parts: In the first one, we focused in the study of urban space and performances that take place in it, analysing the characteristics of the places that host them. We did a distinction between ‘static’ performances that take place in a certain point and performances ‘moving’ across a route or in the whole city. Furthermore, the influence that performances have on urban space, how they redefine and transform it, as well as which new features they introduce, is being examined. In the second part, the aspects of kinesiological nature, which are inherent in performances, are analysed, as well as the role these aspects are playing in the evolution of digital interactive technology in the performing arts. Through the prism of dance, an art expressed by movement and the study of characteristic performances, we observed how interactive technology is introducing new features in human-computer interaction, which can be used for the production of special performances in the public space. Finally, the research is completed with the study of some urban interactive installations, as well as the creation of our own installation in our School, where we practically understand how interactive technologies can be implemented in the urban space, thus creating new qualities in the city.
