ABOUT THE PROJECT
top view @ Byzantine Museum in Thessaloniki
"Without mathematics we cannot penetrate deeply into philosophy. Without philosophy we cannot penetrate deeply into mathematics. Without both we cannot penetrate deeply into anything." Leibnitz Mathematics provides an underlying layer for the description of reality's inner complexity in terms of computation as well as the tools to enhance and intensify research and expression, elegantly and seamlessly linking science, art, economy, philosophy and other disciplines, merging them into force fields of a unified yet topographically differentiated territory. Architects relentlessly explore this territory ever since, using mathematics as a privileged tool for tracing systematic paths as well as enhancing their expressive language. The installation is a self-standing object that uses mathematical trigonometric functions (explored through parametric design software) as a mean of aesthetic device, exploring a use of rationality in complex shapes that merges user spatial interaction, curvature as a structural and expressive strategy (the voluptuous ripples also strengthen the overall shape) and form as a sorting device to deploy functions (carrying 3D models, showing pictures from various projects as well as a pad to interactively explore design strategies).

THESSALONIKI EXIBITION AR C HITECTU R A L EX H I B I T I O N : ‘A R C H I T E C T U R E A N D T H E C IT Y IN SO U TH EA ST E U R O P E’
The School of Architecture of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in collaboration with Goethe Institute in Thessaloniki, Goethe Institutes in South East Europe and the ‘Five Museums Association’ led by the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, organize an Architectural Exhibition (18 January – 26 February 2012) focusing on the Schools’ of Architecture contribution to the city. The exhibition aims to open up a discussion on the role of the schools of architecture in issues of urbanity and urbanism and, more particularly, on matters related to recent transformation of public and social space, to cultural differentiation and to environmental concerns, as these emerge in the metropolises of South East Europe. The exhibition in Thessaloniki will only mark the beginning of the discussion which aims to mature into a broad network of joint projects in the future. The main question that the exhibition wishes to address is in what ways can architecture contribute positively to the city’s contemporary transformations, for example through: drafting design strategies towards environmental sustainability, addressing the hybrid landscape of urban sprawl, improving public services, reasserting public space, introducing participation of social groups in planning and use of public space, shaping livable and just urban neigbourhoods, investigating the role of networks of information and transport, negotiating social and environmental boundaries, and finally investigating innovative approaches to the representation and the conceptualisation of metropolitan life. It is quite important that, in current conditions of globalisation and within the spread of networks, a series of concepts, tools and models are emerging. Architecture, urban design and planning could play a vital role in transforming the city into a regulative place of this expanding field of economic, cultural and political flows.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
BOT TOM
winding r idgesOne of results obteined testing system capabilities, in particular the iteractive process
Since we began to outsource our metabolic functions we started to build mediators. When these mediators exceeded their primary performance (the one they were purposed for) they began to destratify and tamper with a level of higher sophistication in the field of information exchange, where aesthetics is deeply involved and feedbacks on the system from which it emerged. In this studio we will look at it as a field where environmental negotiation, cultural pressures and body-space relations find their developmental landscapes. The fashion robot will investigate on specific cases where the interconnected environmental conditions and cultural pressures are the culture medium for systems to thrive and grow onto.
NEX T PAGE
explorations Some explorations to understand the relation between iterations and ridges number
As a first investigation we decided to explore the Concept Car field, where technology and design combine together to provide a new answer to specific physical needs. We focused on Aerodynamics, trying to emulate how this system works. We found interesting how two or more ridges, isocurves rised and gone from a generic surface, will create variety of shapes and spaces. Obteined a new surface the process is able to start again working on the same object but not at the same scale. Wind speeds and turbolances are choosen how external agents.

TURBOLENCE d iagram s - This 3D representation is the result of all the
previously fluid dynamics analysis. It is noticeable how records show high values of turbulence in the joint A and in the alley B, with lower intensity in the lane CD due to a lack of continuity of the banks (the gradient goes from blue for laminar flow, to red for the turbulent motion). From this point of view the project has to mitigate and contain these turbulence using the concept car aerodynamics theory. The ultimate goal is to recover the load loss, "giving pressure" to the system for better smoothness and continuity. 4 boxes will be builded, with size proportional to the factor of turbulence, to concentrate, boost, deviate and finally to eject pressure.

SKIN PATTERN diagram s - The pattern consists is trasversal cuts in
the surface, these are extruded normally to the surface itself, following curves in two directions so that it is completely integrated but still providing an efficent solution for light and air to get into the building. The diagrams show the gaussian variation in the extrusion of the pattern surface, and illustrate how the profile of each single curve variates gradually from the beginning to the end of the surface.

ABOUT THE PROJECT Dionaea muscipula (called “venus flytrap�) has leaf blades divided in two regions: a flat, heart-shapedphotosynthesiscapable petiole, and a pair of terminal lobes hinged at the mid-rib, forming the trap which is the true leaf. The upper surface of these lobes contains red anthocyanin pigments and its edges secrete mucilage. The lobes exhibit rapid plant movements, snapping shut when stimulated by prey. The trapping mechanism is set off when prey contacts one of the three hair-like trichomes that are found on the upper surface of each lobe. Like the venus flytrap, the structure captures models simulating nastic movement.
