A BEHAVIOURAL FABRICATION SYSTEM About | AADRL (DESIGN RESEARCH LAB) MASTER THESIS Location | London/UK Date | 2013/2015 Tutor | Theodore Spyropoulos Assistant Tutors | Mustafa El-Sayed, Apostolis Despotidis Design Team | Flávia Ghirotto Santos, Dmytro Aranchii, Paul Bart, Iuquiu Jiang

agenda | development of a self-assembling fabrication system utilizing machinic behaviour and real-time decision making to enable architecture with a sensory system. noMad proposes a behavioural fabrication system that marks a shift of our build environment as a finite lifecycle construct, but is instead looking for autonomous, non-finite and real-time solutions to adapt dynamically to the demands of its environment - constantly restructuring itself.

In a self-assembling fabrication approach of ‚negotiated space‘, noMad aims to enable architecture with a sensory system, localising decision making by self-aware unit to unit communication instead of a deterministic, superimposed building plan.

Anchored in the world of self-structuring polyhedra, noMad is based on principles of synergetics, the study of geometry in transformation and the impact of a local change on its global systems behaviour: a single unit can autonomously change state, shifting its state by a simple rotational translation from one polyhedra to the other.

Hereby, noMad is operating on different scales of (collective) intelligence and behaviour, each autonomously self-assembling to the next higher order of organisation - from a highly mobile, nomadic states to high population spatial configurations. noMad proposes a system, that can self-regulate and adapt, react to outside influences and demands and encourages both interaction and communication.

EVALUATING THE EDGE OF CHAOS About | MArch Design Research Lab (AADRL) Location | London/UK Date | 2013 Tutor | Mustafa El-Sayed Design Team | Flรกvia Ghirotto Santos, Dmytro Aranchii, Paul Bart, Iuquiu Jiang

The aim of this research was to explore architectural possibilities with the use of generative strategies inside Processing software. We explored the principles of cellular automata through the rules of the game of life. We defined the initial conditions for the system to grow, first in a 2d grid and after in a 3d space, retrieving data in order to improve the design.

We developed a voxel based code, and through the rulesets we created different patterns of grow.

We stacked these grids, creating a 3d voxel grid, allowing the system to grow indefinetly, using only the rulesets to determine the carachteristiques of the cells reproduction.

The first step to observe changes is scaling of initial pattern slightly, cell by cell, and significantly, changing not necessarily the whole geometry in 2d but each part linearly as well. Pattern fractalizing is also a technique involved into observation. Complexity is achieved by subdividing cells 2 and 4 times.

Changing of the ruleset played certain role in the research. However it is not a primary approach to design the ca in this particular case, just equal

branch of exploration. Grid is a source of completely new behavior. We explored from square cells to hexagonal, from 8 (straight and diagonal) to 6 identical neighbours.

During the process of evaluation several separated outlines can be described: butterfly effect, the edge of chaos as a boarder between predictability and stability, population develop- ment (in terms of density as tendency to extinct or overcrowd), the direction of development and stable/dynamic type of growth.

MR. FLOPPY BEHAVIOURAL MATTER

The aim of this project was to design a lighting installation able to transform in time by making use of passive and active actuation. In order to provide unique movement and lighting effects we analysed material behaviour through the organisation of matter and energy within supple membranes. We developed fabrication strategies that harness energy transfer for generative design by utilising principles such as pre-tensioned surfaces. Our focus was to analyse thermodynamic states of rich poly-scalar materials, in particular silicone.

As a result we created a single-object installation, which can be duplicated in order to organise space.

The natural behavioural characteristic of silicone was utilised to produce a surface which was stretched and held in a permanent and pre-tensioned state by an integrated primary frame. The unique movement is controlled with micro-processors such as Arduino, computer programming, and actuators (electric motors, flex sensors and led lighting).

The structure of the jellyfish was the main inspiration for the project. Jellyfishs body are made of a gelatinous material - the jelly - that employs a loose network of nerves, located in the epidermis, which is called a

“nerve net”. They detects various stimuli via this nerve net, which then transmits impulses both throughout the nerve net and around a circular nerve ring to other nerve cells. Initial analysis of surface material behaviour were explored with lycra models. By introducing forces in particular pushing, pulling and stretching the material is transformed throughout its surface creating various movements and forms. Analysis of material and behavioural nature of lycra surfaces was later adapted to silicone. We also used piano wires to structure and achieve a tensile state with the silicone. In order to achieve a greater control of the form we introduced different amounths of silicone in different parts of the body, creating a structured but flexible membrane.

Our research led to the proposition of a surface with structural ribs of wires that crossed in the middle, where a pivotal point forms the “activate button”. By pushing this central pivotal zone, the wings automatically flex and recoil in opposing directions.

The Supple Pavilions was a project of a dynamic interactive pleating fabric structure, developed during the workshop “AA High-Low - São Paulo Visiting School” in Jul/11, at the International Festival of Electronic Language – FILE under the design brief and guidance of Tutor Robert Stuart-Smith. The project was chosen to be further developed through a series of workshops with the focus on producing a 1:1 scale of an interactive and flexible pavilion structure, using associative modeling, Grasshopper, Processing, Arduino, recursive scripting and digital 1:1 fabrication.

The project aims to demonstrate from the experimentation and use of digital media the persuit to establish new levels of use of hybrid processes, establishing modes of interaction among participating agents in the project, in keeping with contemporary realities.

The design emerged from several studies of multimaterial behaviour that were catalogued and investigated, like the combination of Lycra and steel

cables to create form. Cybernetics concepts like “loop”and “feedback” were the main driven for the actuated membrane and the idea of creating a space that changes and reacts to humam behaviour. Sensors capture the light variations and movement of people, sending imputs to the system, thats responds with mechanical movements of the structure. The structure is also activated by external constrains, such as rain or excessive light, adjusting it’s behaviour to adapt.

The project was developed within a social framework of cultural events linked to the idea of new technologies and design. An iphone APP was developed to interact with the system, generating responses in the model, as a method to promote our project and seek future investment. The project was taken to the brazilian government and is currently under analysis.

TAMBABA BEACH RESORT Status | In progress Client | CCTM Location | PItimbu/PB | Brazil Date | 2012/2013 Size | 40,108.84 sqm.

Head Architects | FlĂĄvia Ghirotto Santos and Thayssa Guerra

The resort, located on the beach in Pitimbu, distant 68 km from JoĂŁo Pessoa / PE, Brazil, was designed with the objective of meeting the real estate quota system and time-sharing, systems which are lacking in the Brazilian Northeast. Designed to function as a second residence, but with the structure of a resort, the project will be launched in 2015.

The region where the project is housed is an APP Permanent Protection Area, and the solutions with less impact were mandatory to the approval of this project.

We seek solutions that ameliorate the impact of the project, which has about 38.000m2 building, and that stand out against the other ventures that have emerged in the region.

The use of natural materials, local labor and sustainable solutions were incorporated by customers as an added value to the project, allowing alternatives to the expected.

The project has a total of 160 apartments, divided into studios, 1 bedroom apartments, 2 bedroom and 2 bedroom with terrace. In addition, the resort features restaurants, bars, community recreation areas, spa and a convention center.

The project implementation took into account the large sloping ground, insolation and winds, resulting in pleasant environments, without the need for air conditioning.

Following the wishes of the client, the resort was designed to integrate all of the environments, with spaces without a defined limit, integrating green areas with enclosed areas

PITIMBU REAGION HAS SOME OF THE BEST BEACHES IN BRAZIL, HOWEVER, THE AREA HAS DIFFICULT ACCESS AND HAS NO INFRASTRUCTURE TO RECEIVE PEOPLE FOR LONGER PERIODS

PONTA DA SELA | SUMMER HOUSE Status | Completed Location | Ilhabela/SP | Brazil Date | 2009/2010 Size | 483.52 sqm.

Head Architect| Elaine Ribeiro Team | Flávia Ghirotto Santos Published In | Construir Magazine n.01 | Construir Rusticas Magazine n.09

“Casa Sul” was a project developed together with the brazilian architect Elaine Ribeiro, where I collaborated at all stages, from the architectural design, to interior design and decoration. I contributed in all the steps of conceptualising it, collaborating with ideas and strategies. I also followed closely the build up process, trough the elaboration of technical drawings, managing the construction to the final output of the project. I also collaborated in the research of materials and sustainable solutions, learning a lot about rustic techniques and wood construction, the key elements of the design of the house.

The house is located in Ilhabela, a Brazilian island with restricted access, where 80% of the area is a protected native forest and therefore the concern with the environment is a prescriptive for new projects.

With the goal of trying to make it as sustainable as possible, low-impact solutions were implemented trough the use of sustainable processes, natural materials and sustainable resources, such as local manpower, reforestation wood with structural qualities, solar

heating, earth coating, green roof, bamboo structure, bamboo coating and rainwater reuse system. Also, the choice of the materials were based on what was available locally, as well as the use of natural resources found on site, like rocks and soil for the walls coating.

Interior details like taps, ceiling coating and switches were custom designed and fabricated with local artisans.

The structure of the house is mixed, with autoclaved eucalyptus pillars and Pequi sawn beams. The structural pieces has bigger mesurements than the conventional ones.

The eucalyptufor the structure was chosen based in the lower price compared with other structural woods, but also because of the quick assembly process.

The roof structure is made out of 20x25cm beams, 6x12cm Pequi sawn rafters and big colonial tiles.

Dentro da morada, a sensação é a de estar em um ambiente agradável, aconchegante e espaçoso. Integração é a palavra que define o setor social, decorado com móveis de tons claros.

Destaque para o ventilador de 3,5 m de diâmetro, que espanta o calor com charme. O piso é de arenito amarelo com medidas especiais sob encomenda.

A cozinha é um capítulo à parte. O balcão é revestido de pastilha de coco, complementado por uma mesa de vidro temperado. O colorido fica por conta das charmosas luminárias acima da pia. Descoordenadas, conferem informalidade ao ambiente.

Quando o desejo for preparar alimentos com privacidade, basta fechar a porta que faz a comunicação com os demais cômodos e ficar no sossego.

As suítes seguem o mesmo padrão. Duas foram dispostas no térreo, outras no pavimento superior e mais uma sob a laje da piscina.

A estrutura da casa é mista, com pilares de eucalipto auto-

A profissional procurou valorizar a vista para o mar. “A paisagem de Ilhabela é lindíssima! Quis que os moradores pudessem ter o prazer de viver e estar diante de uma natureza tão maravilhosa”, conta.

clavado torneados e vigas serradas de pequi. As peças apresentam medidas maiores do que as convencionais, o que confere um padrão diferenciado. Houve o cuidado de optar por tons aproximados, para que a harmonia fosse garantida. “Escolhi o eucalipto por possuir um método construtivo mais rápido, o aspecto visual agradável e um custo menor”, diz Elaine. O telhado foi feito com vigas de 20 x 25 cm, caibros serrados de pequi de 6 x 12 cm e coberto com telhas coloniais gigantes, de Itu, SP. Hora de curtir a área de lazer. A churrasqueira foi construída próxima à varanda. Para chegar ao local, é preciso passar pelo deque de eucalipto e pedra São Tomé. O espaço conta com uma mesa, lavabo e um armário. Mas se a intenção for dar um mergulho, nada melhor do que cair na piscina de 53 m². Elaborada em concreto armado, foi revestida com pastilhas de vidro azul (Colormix). Possui formato sinuoso, prainha com profundidade de 0,45 m e 1,45 m na parte mais funda. Tudo na companhia de um belíssimo jardim tropical, criado pelo paisagista Gil Fialho, de São Paulo, SP.

HERCHCOVITCH FLAGSHIP STORE SAO PAULO Status | Completed Client | Alexandre Herchcovitch Location | Sao Paulo | Brazil Date | 2011 Size | 400 sqm.

Head Architects | Tito Ficarelli and Chantal Ficarelli Team | Flávia Ghirotto Santos, Mariana Olha and Andrea Benatti Published In | Projeto Design Magazine n.380 | ARCOWEB | FrameWeb

Alexandre Herchcovitch, is an internationally renowned Brazilian fashion designer. With stores both in Brazil and Tokyo, he have been sent down the runways of New York, Paris, London and Sao Paulo Fashion Weeks. His collections are discussed in the editorial sections of the most important fashion and behavior magazines, both in Brazil and abroad. Recognized for his avant-garde design, he’s also an active contributor to Sao Paulo’s alternative night scene.

The architectural brief for the concept store demanded a space that would reflect the hip, but yet punk, essence of the brand.

With the proposal to intervene minimally in the existing space, the proposal design takes inspiration from industrial sheds.

Expanding trough two levels, the store has a long rectangular plan that is enhanced by a gradient shift of colors, that subdivides it into sections; the entrance area is covered in black, while colors become

clear towards back of the shop, creating a sense of arousement.

The white room stands out. The area has a glassroof ceiling two times as higher as the entranceway, increasing the brightness of the space. Products are displayed in used and unusual custom designed furniture, that remarks those of industrial sheds, like painted wooden doors and hydraulic pipes.

45

THE BRIEF WAS TO INTERVEINE MINIMALLY IN THE EXISTING SPACE, HAVING AS REFERENCE THE ARCHITECTURE OF INDUSTRIAL SHEDS. THE SPACE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A “FASHION STATEMENT” FOR THE BRAND

HERCHCOVITCH FLAGSHIP STORE RIO DE JANEIRO Status | Completed Client | Alexandre Herchcovitch Location |Rio de Janeiro | Brazil Date | 2012 Head Architects | Tito Ficarelli and Chantal Ficarelli Team | Flรกvia Ghirotto Santos and Mariana Olha

Following up the concept store in Sao Paulo, the Rio de Janeiro shop was designed to reach a more conventional public, with the aim of expanding the brand identity.

The core elements of the concept store were kept, like the furniture and the idea of the duality between an enclosed/claustrophobic space and an infinite one, that is translated trought the lower ceiling in the back of the shop and the backlighted ceilling of the main space. The lighted ceiling was also an strategy to increase the space perception, as it was too small.

49

TO INCREASE THE SPACE, THE CEILING RECEIVED A BACKLIGHT SYSTEM, MIMICKING THE SENSATION OF A SPATIOUS AREA WITH A GLASS ROOF

Head Architects | Tito Ficarelli and Chantal Ficarelli Team | Flávia Ghirotto Santos and Thayssa Guerra Peixoto Published In | Projeto Design Magazine n.366 | ARCOWEB

Carmim is a big Brazilian brand focused in clothing and accessories, but also commercialize shoes and home accessories.

Carmim searched our office to rethink the concept of the brand, which is targeted to an young audience, in touch with fashion trends. The brief was to expand the brand, targeting also the adult public that already had an audience in the other branches of the group.

There was a requirement for using fine materials that could represent the “posh” side of the brand. We used a mixture of rustic materials with finest and stately finishes. The final result was a repositioning of the brand in the market, which eventually expand this new concept to the entire network of the stores.

I collaborated in all phases of the project,developing the brand concept, making presentations to the clients, preparing technical drawings and monitoring and managing the construction.

53

CARMIM WAS TARGETING A NEW PUBLIC FOR THE BRAND, WITHOUT DISCONNECTING IT FROM ITS OLD, YOUNG, CLIENTS.

COMPETITION COMPETITION

NTHISS About | CDHU and IAB COMPETITION “Novas Tipologias De Habitação De Interesse Social Sustentável” Status | Completed Location | Sao Paulo/SP | Brazil Date | 2010 Tutor | Caio Vassão | EPI - Independent Research Office Team | Flávia Ghirotto Santos, Alan Niski, Erico Botteselli, André Juan, Gabriela Namie Kurata, Marcus Del Mastro, Vitor Mendes

Competition for the development of new sustainable housing typologies for CDHU, Brazilian popular housing system. The goal was to work with the concepts of Metadesign, working in all spheres of comprisement of a project like this. I participated in all phases, but with a focus on developing concepts and architecture and the functioning of the system itself.

Believing that the power of CDHU can go beyond simply delivering spaces built for a needy part of society, we designed thinking in relations which would be made within this space, not imposing a way of life that is often incompatible with the user’s interest, but allowing them to use this as an extension of that society, which often this public finds himself excluded.

The CDHU should not be reference of standard only for low-income people, but for the whole society.

Among the changes with which we consider, is the ascendancy of the middle class as a participant of the consumer society, the family planning, endowed with longings and desires, and not only meeting the demands of survival.

But, strictly speaking, very little can be said about what is yet to come, on demands and desires. Thus, we contemplate the need for adaptability of construction.

So, we decided to propose not only a new type of building, but an entire community, considering the project as a system and not as an application solution absolutely circumstantial, covering not only the constructive way, but its functioning, its impact on society as a whole and the community created within it, making its architectural concept intrinsic part of the operation of this community.

The architecture, to be sustainable, must abandon the habit of being demolished when is no longer relevant to the social context. To escape this unsustainable logic, architecture should try to follow the social environment fluctuations ,becoming a system of pre - fabricated from open arrangement and low maintenance. The building itself should become an “Equipment Sustainable Living”, besides involving housing multifunctional aspects such as urban farming, local energy production, solar heating, commercial activity and productivity autonomous and pluralization of social activities.

EMOTIVE CITY Status | In progress Location | London/UK Date | 2015 Design Concept | Minimaforms | Theodore and Stephen Spyropoulos

Team | Mustafa El Sayed, Apostolis Despotidis, Ilya Pereyaslavtsev, Agata Banaszek, Octavian Gheorghiu, Houze Xu, Iuquiu Jiang, Maria Paula Velasquez, Fanos Katsaris, Pavlina Vardoulaki, Hitesh Katiyar, Irina Safovona, Nhan Vo, Julian Lin, Flávia Ghirotto Santos Exihibited at | NESTA’S | FUTURE FEST EXHIBITION

Emotive City is immersive environment designed to explore our evolving relations with machines.

and self-organize itself, defining the different scales through which ‘Emotive City’ would operate.

The project is an speculative proposal of the future of the cities, where everything is interconnect and interrelated and where the behaviour of the users influences and shapes the living environment. In this proposal, the concept of architecture shifts from the idea of space to a highly interactive and participatory environment, by enabling the architecture to find itself through communication and evolve from that.

In the city of the future, architecture could be driven and organized and built around human interactions, and those interactions would define which form this architecture would have in a self-organized city. In this sense, every living environment could interact and communicate, creating an ecology of living machines that are generative and capable of making decisions.

The model was an interactive installation where 2500 clusters of acrylic spheres representing the living spaces of the future. The model was placed in the top a table together with a swarm of intelligent robots capable of making decisions and interact with the public. The robots represented the interaction that humans and machines would have in the future, where human behaviour would affect the decisions of these machines.

Each sphere had a LED light inside where the colors, controlled by a generative algorithm, would swarm across the structure, influenced by the interaction of the robots and the people and also trhough twitter feeds that represented emotional states of the people in the city. Those interactions were also expressed trough a video interface, that was capable of gathering the data and visually represent it to the public.

Together with the main installation were also exhibited the research projects from Spyroupolos Studio at DRL (including my research project NOMAD), an ecology of different machines that are capable of self-assembly

I was responsible for designing the hardware and the behaviour fo the robots, and how they would interfere with the main structure. I also contributed in the production and assembly of the main structure.

ARCHIGRAM OPERA [AND ZOO]

About | Screen multimedia installation to celebrate the 50 years of the Archigram Opera, with the presence of Peter Cook, David Greene and Dennis Crompton.

Status | Completed Location | London/UK Date | 2014 Team | Collaboration with Theodore Spyropoulos Exihibited at | Architectural Association School of Architecture

The celebration of the 50 years after Archigram´s first major exhibition, the Living City and the publication to the fourth issue of Archigram magazine, the Architectural Association (AA) decided to recreated the scenery, allowing to experience the 1972 four-screen multimedia installation that is the Archigram Opera. The Opera was screened amidst large-scale Zoo creatures and pop-ups from the Archigram archive.

Archigram - Warren Chalk (b.1927, d. 1987), Peter Cook (b.1936), Dennis Crompton (b.1935), David Greene (b.1937), Ron Herron (b.1930, d. 1994), and Michael Webb (b.1937) - was a visionary London-based architectural practice. Their synthesis of culture and technology in their many speculative projects ignited much discussion and debate at

the time, and their projects continue to impact the architectural profession today.

Together with other students, we recriated the space and the installations for the celebration.

ARCHIGRAM WAS, BEYOND EVERYTHING, IMMENSELY CREATIVE. I DON’T THINK WE HAVE TO BE SHY ABOUT THAT. WHEN THE GROUP WAS FIRST FORMED IN 1964 IT CONSISTED OF SIX MEN WHO RANGED IN TEMPERAMENT FROM THE LACONIC TO THE BRIGHTEYED, AND IN AGE AND EXPERIENCE FROM THE HARDENED BUILDERS OF LOCAL AUTHORITY SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS, TO YOUNG ARCHITECTS WHO WERE IN THEIR FIRST JOBS AFTER SCHOOL.” PETER COOK, LONDON 2012.

TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE DRONE ORCHESTRA About | Audio-Visual performance with John Cale and Liam Young Status | Completed Location | London/UK Date | 2014 Team | Collaboration with Samantha Lee and Oliviu Lugojan-Ghenciu Exihibited at | “DIGITAL REVOLUTION” EXHIBITION AT BARBICAN

Known for experimenting with technologies and industrial sounds in his music, John Cale has thrived at the vanguard of a myriad of creative disciplines, from setting the stage for an underground, noise-bending attack on rock and roll with the Velvet Underground, to his current genre-bending music of today, like tuning his instruments to the hum of refrigerator motors, the frequency of modernisation. Liam Young, a visionary architect, speculates about the urban futures, telling stories about the possibilities of drone technologies in the cities of tomorrow.

In this collaboration, they explored the soundscape of a new generation, the distant rumble of drone propellers as emerging cultural objects. Typically associated with military applications, they are presented as a collection of flying machines, nomadic audio infrastructure and instruments to create an immersive live musical and visual performance. A flock of autonomous DJI copters are programmed as aerial dancers and are mounted with specially engineered wireless speakers

to broadcast the instruments of the band. Other copters are dressed in elaborate costumes to disguise their form and reflect light across the audience below.

I’ve collaborated in the production of the drones costumes during the pre-production of the show, under pressure conditions to meet the short deadline, following up with the all the specific processes and that a show like this demands.
