Programming the Perpetual Unknown IAAC Studio “Staging an electronic environment and a dynamic in which elements are set in motion in an automated performance, Programming the Perpetual Unknown is a game with open interpretations.
The movement is perpetual and the outcome is unknown, all governed by a protocol of actions in which the speed of revolution of a fan in a physical environment could be affected by the density of a built settlement drawn in a digital space.”

Sky Park District is an urban intervention in Mexico City. The project connects Secundo Piso to the new urban area. Designed green connections and public spaces are placed around, above and under intersections inspired by analyzing the geometry of Brasilia’s urban structure.
The high-speed public transportation loop is the district and pedestrian paths on the three levels allows citizens to enjoy the lively neighbourhood. Sky Park District creates mixed programs within the walkable distances. Ground park areas, green roofs, and sky paths increase the life quality in highly polluted Mexico City.
Vertical Vineyard Workshop Project of the Master in Advanced Architecture of IAAC developed in collaboration with the Architectural Association School of Architecture Through a collaborative project including both design and fabrication, a five meter tall structure was developed. It hosts grape vines and a closed loop hydroponic system, and consists of modular components that can be added to expand the vertical system. The site location of this project is the Valldaura Labs of the Institute of Advanced Architecture, Catalonia. The aspect of growing and harvesting grapes in the vertical as well as more urban con text, drove this project and inspires further development of the concept of an urban vineyard.

Find your connection Representing data by using Arduino and Processing to create a connection between the data input and output, producing a physical representation. In the times when people are constantly on the go, the connections between them are developing, changing, becoming more virtual. A crucial element in the the project is the connection between two people who are physically present in the room. The interaction with the installation produces the shortest path of light in three symbolic colours. Input: Pressure sensor as a switch Output: Light from Neopixels projected through acrylic The project is assembled by creating an LED Matrix with Neopixels stripes, eight stripes of eight LEDS, wired in a series. Acrylic columns are glued on top of each LED in the way the light is projected vertically along the z-axis. The paths of light are calculated so that they take the shortest route through the matrix. The 16 pressure sensors were made by using a piece of velostat and two strips of copper tape placed on either side of the velostat. Each pressure sensor represents one of the 16 personalities.
Cultural and Recreational Center in Poznań The Cultural Center project is situated in the area of the city with a big urge for educational and recreational space for young and old members of the local community.
