THE DANCING PAVILION Estudio Guto Requena Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, 2016 Director: Guto Requena Design team: Ludovica Leone, Daniel Vianna, Bruno Baietto and Guilherme Giantini Temporary Architecture / Venue set design Status: Built Role: architectural design, support for the development of interactive facade script and press release The pavilion was designed for a Brazilian beer brand to host music, parties, DJ’s and shows. Located in the Barra Olympic Park, the primary location for the stadiums in the Olympic Games Rio 2016, the building has an interactive architectural skin. The outer face of the metallic skin is composed of various colors that suggest diversity. Scattered sensors inside of the dance floor allow the skin to react to stimulations, such as the beat of the music or the excited commotion of people. This Interactive Architecture is made with around 500 round mirrors that spin, opening and closing, creating optic effects. Under the sun, this kinetic pavilion creates graphics with light and shadow on the floor and its surroundings. At night, light cannons dramatically cast an explosive light outside, calling attention as far as the entrance of the Olympic Park. As emotional architecture, it shivers like an excited body.

SHIFTED FRAMES II ETH Zürich DFAB - Gramazio Kohler Research Zürich - Switzerland, 2013 Design team: Luka Piškorec, Selen Ercan, Carlos Cenci, Guilherme Giantini, Luis Gisler, Andreas Kissel, Isabelle Nützi e Stefan Roos Temporary Pavilion Status: Built Role: architectural design, planning and preparation of materials and assembly with robotic interaction. For the elective thesis course “Shifted Frames”, a design from the previous semester course was further explored and fabricated at full scale. The pavilion consists of 252 interwoven wooden frames of different dimensions that were locked in place by screws. Designed as an orthogonal aggregation of over 1500 wood beams that fill out the complete volume of the pavilion, varying densities modulate the view through as well as from inside the structure. It was fabricated in 18 parts at the Professorship’s robotic facility before it was put together on site. The robot arm performed the cutting and spatial positioning of each of each element inside every pavilion unit, while the beams were articulated within a man-machine procedure. In this way “Shifted Frames” explores not only highly informed and robotically aggregated spatial structures but also fosters innovative human-machine collaboration at full architectural scale.

MAPPED EMPATHIES Estudio Guto Requena São Paulo - Brazil, 2018 Director: Guto Requena Parametric Design: Guilherme Giantini Sound Design, Lighting and Interactive System Development: Felipe Merker Castellani and Nikolas Gomes Production and Assemly: GTM Cenografia Production Collaborator: Vitor Reis Temporary interactive art installation Status: Built Role: architectural design conception and technical development - 3D modeling, rendering, image post-production and assembly supervision. Mapped Empathies is an art installation structure that seeks to explore possibilities of adding new poetic layers into urban furniture through interactive digital technologies. It was designed with the aid of computer processes and was inspired by temples and meditation spots. The result is an heart-like wood installation fabricated by a CNC machine. In each session, guests’ heartbeats are recorded in real time at the touch of a finger via pulse sensors installed on the bench. This vital data is then sent to speakers and light spots that transform the sound and lighting landscapes of the space. Mapped Empathies was designed following Universal Design principles, being as intuitive as possible and allowing the same democratic experience for all visitors, regardless of age, ability, physical disabilities or situation.

Local height’s constraint guided the design process regarding the assembly framework. The structure was partitioned in 6 groups: four side groups (S1, S2, S3 and S4), one roof group (R) and a final bench group (B). The four side groups were assembled separately and merged together at the corresponding wood joints. The pieces of the roof groups are then installed, locking the whole strucuture. At last, the bench group is placed.
The sound and lighting interactive operation is run by a computer mediation. In each session, guest’s heartbeat rhythm data are collected by pulse sensors placed on the bench and sent to the computer through an arduino platform. The computer runs a visual programming language for music and multimedia that interprets these information and turn them into lighting input via a DMX controller connected to eight RGBW spotlights placed in the installation niches. The software also turns the same pulse data into sound input, this time via two amplifiers, each one connected to two speakers.

SENSITIVE STAR Estudio Guto Requena São Paulo - Brazil, 2016 Director: Guto Requena Design team: Daniel Vianna, Bruno Baietto and Guilherme Giantini Venue set design Status: Built Role: set design architectural draft, development of bottle panel parametric definition and press release Abandoned for almost three decades, this rooftop was transformed into a large lounge with a bar in the covered area, and outdoor dance floor overlooking the city, finalized with an interactive art installation entitled “Sensitive Star” on the helipad. A star-shaped interactive installation on the Mirante’s helipad, the Sensitive Star reacts to the stimuli of moving people through a group of sensors, and responds with changing light and sound. As a larger-than-life musical instrument, it is set to input visitors’ body movements, mixing them with a soundscape, a collection of the building’s surroundings, such as street fairs, traffic, city market and the Monastery of São Bento.

ACOUSTIC BRICKS DFAB - Gramazio Kohler Research Zürich - Switzerland, 2012-2014 Design team: Kurt Eggenschwiler, Dr. Kurt Heutschi, Maximiliam Vomhof, Dr. Ralph Bärtschi, Thomas Cadalbert, Lauren Vasey, Guilherme Giantini, Luis Gisler, David Jenny, Clemens Klein e Jürgen Strauss Acoustic wall system research Status: Built Role: Preliminary studies and assembly of prototypes. The project “Acoustic Bricks” was focusing on the robotic fabrication of an acoustic wall system for office spaces. Two aims were embedded in the research: First, the fundamental implementation of a powerful but so far rarely recognized acoustical phenomenon, sound diffusion, into the making of the proposed walls. Second, the development of a computational design and fabrication framework that would allow the production of individually adaptable walls in an industrial context. While parameters related to the functionality and materiality of the walls had to be investigated in the first year of the project, the second year could be finished with the successful fabrication of two real scale prototypes. With the help of these prototypes, the functionality of the developed brick, the so called “Acoustic Brick”, including the related assembly process could be demonstrated. Also, the partners of EMPA could validate the assumptions taken in the beginning and proof that the acoustic qualities fullfilled the expectations.

The floorplan emphasizes the spatial flexibility through multiple possibilities of layout and furniture rearrangement, such as private/ shared rooms and collective workstations. The squads are rooms designed to group multidisciplinary teams for special projects. Located along the floor and taking up to 12 people, these spaces are semi-open systems that bring privacy to the teams while they are accessible to lounge areas. The color palette brings up the identity of Youse, as the colorful carpet designed to express the personality of each space. The lighting design was developed to warm up the spaces and emphasize the enterprise playful character. Close to the reception desk, the logo colors change according to the mood of people working around. The mood data is collected by a digital survey system to be answered throughout the day.

SÃO PAULO FASHION WEEK 2019 Estudio Guto Requena São Paulo - Brazil, 2019 Director: Guto Requena Design team: Ludovica Leone, Guilherme Giantini, Bruno Baietto, Eduardo Chalabi Venue set design Status: Built Role: set design architectural draft, furniture development. The set design for SPFW’s 47th edition was inspired by the concept of Utopia. Taking up an old vacant industrial shed which measures around 5,000 sq mt with a 16-meter high ceiling, the two fashion show rooms are located at the sides of the shed and each one of them can have 1,700 people inside. At the center, we created a square as a design gesture of embracing the collective by allowing visitors to meet up. The square is formed by six pieces of furniture which were designed to have different purposes each, such as: sitting down, watching the shows on the big screens around the square, having a drink at the bar, having some privacy in the small garden or playing in the see-saws.

YOUTUBE BRANDCAST 2019 Estudio Guto Requena SĂŁo Paulo - Brazil, 2019 Director: Guto Requena Design team: Ludovica Leone, Rodolfo Torres, Thatiana Pacheco, Bruno Baietto, Jeff Chicarelli, Guilherma Giantini Venue set design Status: built Role: set design architectural draft. Brazilian Youtube Brandcast 5th edition target was the press, content creators, agencies and advertisers. The event happened at a 65.000ft2 warehouse. The set Design included a plenary session for 1.200 people. At the entrance a tunnel made of scaffolding structure and arrow-shaped neon guided guests to the foyer. In this place, LED panels reproduced the platform content, generating an immersive experience. During the first part of the event, the foyer became a brand activation environment, lounge and a buffet. A LED screen of 23 x 7.5m displayed the content of the event. At the opening ceremony, this screen suddenly got suspended over the audience, revealing a second tunnel to access the plenary session. This environment was entirely surrounded by a translucent fabric, where mapped projections provided an immersive experience. With these projections off, the fabric transparency could reveal the incredible architecture where the event was held. Right after the plenary session, the public was invited to return to the foyer, now turned into a party club. + info: gutorequena.com.br

BLENDED RECEPTION SUBdV Architecture SĂŁo Paulo - Brazil, 2017 Directors: Anne Save de Beaurecueil and Franklin Lee Design team: Guilherme Giantini and Jeff Chicarelli Office interior design Status: Concept Role: architectural design conception and technical development - 3D modeling, rendering, image post-production and furniture and wooden ceiling costing This office reception was designed for a Brazilian startup that manages payments and purchases on international sites such as AliExpress, Spotify, AirBnB and more. The company is an example of contemporary entrepreneurship that follows the direction of international data flows and digital globalization, as well as emerging business policies of the 21st century, such as flexible itinerary, dynamic environment and social integration. The reception redesign proposal comes from the alignment between this new digital business focus and the computational tools and processes employed in contemporary architecture. As an analog of the digital data transfer variations, so frequent in the Big Data era, the startup lobby is filled with a corrugated wooden ceiling that progressively takes the shape of reception area and service desk. This reception area is extended to the atrium of the building when acquiring its second architectural intention of multifunctional staircase: besides providing greater space for people circulation, it can be used as meeting and socialization place, formal and informal area of work and conference or auditorium hall.

Work shifts: morning & afternoon
The startup adopts a contemporary policy of flexible itinerary, provided that the 8 hours of work are acomplished. It was observed that despite the flexibility of schedules most employees work from 10am to 7pm. Therefore, the project envisages the displacement and widening of the lateral ladder, which functions as a connecting element between the two floors and entails a greater flow of people.
Lunch & Break times
Events & Lectures
Finally, the grandstand still preserves its elementary auditorium function, where staff and external guests can sit down to attend to lectures and workshops. The maximum occupancy capacity of the bleachers, considering the intermediate and higher levels, is 94 people.
Another proposal for breaking stiffness and encouraging a more humane and enjoyable work environment is the guarantee that the bleachers function as a socializing area where employees can meet for exchanging ideas and/or organize a company event.
Circulation Informal working areas Informal meeting areas Social area Auditorium configuration
The second floor features collective and collaborative workstations, and private meeting rooms in a traditional office layout. We proposed breaking this rigidity with the insertion of the bleachers, attatched to the lateral stair, providing a large seating area and functioning as a free and alternative work space rather than the classic workstations. In addition, it accommodates includes eventual informal meetings without compromising the circulation of other employees.
WANDERING COLUMN São Paulo - Brazil, 2018 Coordination and development: Guilherme Giantini Structural performance research Status: Concept Role: design coordination, technical development using algorithmic modelling and technical detaling Natural agents are processing devices capable of computing the environment with adaptive behaviors in order to synthesize several phenomena. Agent-based systems are data processing computational tools based on natural agents’ autonomous behaviors. This paper describes the application of agent-based modelling in the morphogenetic process of designing a performance-based column. The exploratory research methodology encompassed a systematic literature review, analysis and synthesis of collected data, as well as the design of a column. The design application took natural principles of growth and development from an agent-based system, in which behavioral patterns related to the system’s morphology were associated to structural analysis parameters through an evolutionary solver, in order to optimize the structural efficiency, by minimizing the system’s displacement.

VOLVA LAMP Meristema São Paulo - Brazil/London - UK, 2019-ongoing Coordination and development: Guilherme Giantini Prototyping and fabrication: Barbara Zanvadali Furniture design Status: Under development/detailing Role: design coordination, technical development using algorithmic modelling and technical detaling In micology, the reproductive structure of the fungus is found above the mycelium. During its growth, and developmental process, the temporary membranous tissue that envelops the fruiting body (known as the universal veil) breaks when mature and forms a cup-shaped structure named Volva. This lamp’s design encompassed fungae natural developmental processes using computational design. The current stage of product development concerns 3d manufacturing prototyping and geometric optimization for fabrication, as well as light base technical detailing. + info: meri-stema.com/
SUTURA MASK Meristema São Paulo - Brazil, 2019-2020 Coordination and development: Guilherme Giantini Fashion accessory design Status: Concept Role: design coordination, technical development using algorithmic modelling, rendering. Sutura Mask embodies the emergence of endemic cure by means of pain in a cathartic process triggered by tragedy. Time and mental spaces are not juxtaposed and the anachronism blurs the perception and consciousness of the healing occurrence that can only be achieved by trauma experience. Sutura Mask is the interpretation of a progressive healing process as the artistic expression of a cathartic inflection moment shaped by the symbology of the suture. Sutures can be a seam formed by sewing two pieces of flesh together in order to heal an open wound, or natural fibrous joints that bridge the cranial skull’s bones. Taking the symbology of healing by a painful process that bridges a path to cure and self-transformation, this project is designed as a mask with the intent to turn visible, in some kind of particular visual interpretation of feelings, such a hidden, and often mute, human experience. Masks hide our face, but can also reveal what we feel. +info: meri-stema.com/
TURING CANDELABRA São Paulo - Brazil, 2018 Coordination and development: Guilherme Giantini Furniture design Status: Concept Role: concept, design coordination, technical development using algorithmic modelling and technical detaling. The processes of growth and development characterize the transposition of natural to artificial morphogenesis. In the natural process, formation and materialization are integrated in an inherent and inseparable way, developing by means of dynamic interactions in a given environment and in a time period. Turing Candelabra experimental design was developed undertaking integrated growth and development algorithmic processes. This kind of process allowed embedding L-System algorithmis, used to generated the structural system, with Reaction Diffusion algorithm based on Alan Turing’s theory to generate the system’s morphological differentiation, as a computational analogy to in animal and plant tissues.
An important feature of the design process of this experiment was the use of procedural iterations. Using a specific solver, it was possible to execute a specific section of the algorithm in an iterative way by linking geometric parameters to the frames. This promotes the cyclical updating of the project’s procedural transformations using frames. In this process, the output data of the current frame serves as input data for the next frame. This strategy configures distinct geometric iterations and is directly related to the concept of growth and development present in the morphogenetic methodology.

VILLUS VASE SĂŁo Paulo - Brazil, 2018 Coordination and development: Guilherme Giantini Furniture design Status: Concept Role: design coordination, technical development using algorithmic modelling Natural morphogenesis is responsible for the formation of a wide variety of functional organs in biological systems. In plants, it is mainly driven by differential growth, a phenomenon present at all levels of material organization: cellular level (cell division and expansion), organ level (formation of functional organs) and organism level (plant organism). At each levels, differential growth corresponds to a growth rate of region of the cell, tissue or system that may be different from the growth rate at another region. At the cellular level, differential growth is identified in the different patterns of cell division and expansion. With an approximately cylindrical shape, the cells in active growth divide in two when forming a new wall in its longitudinal axis. During this process, differential growth is identified on the surface of the cell, which causes the division rates to polarize and sets up cell growth patterns that result in cell filaments with similar shapes. This experimental project aimed to fill the surface of an object with a geometric pattern defined by the logics of differential growth at the cellular level.
CALYX CHAIR São Paulo - Brazil, 2018 Coordination and development: Guilherme Giantini Furniture design Status: Concept Role: concept, design coordination, technical development using algorithmic modelling and technical detaling Just as it was possible to simulate differential growth phenomenon at the cellular level in the previous experiment, it was also possible to incorporate the same strategies in geometric surfaces analogous to tissues and plant organs At the tissues and organs level, meristematic zone growth continues until the cell cluster reaches its limit and all cells have reached their final size. During this process, growth is subject to environmental conditions, such as gravity, light and temperature, which influence the differentiation of the growth pattern and, therefore, modulate the spatial orientation and final morphological characteristics of the plant. It is observed that the subtle transformations in the local growth rates of a meristem may cause the generation of different functional and structural types of plant systems. Similarly, changes in local growth rates can promote changes in the morphological structure of plants’ constituent parts, an evidence of the influence of the differential growth as a strategy of Nature for adaptation and evolutionary development in response to the environmental context.

URBAN RHIZOME eVolo 2018 Skyscraper Design Competition São Paulo - Brazil, 2018 Design Team: Guilherme Giantini, Jeff Chicarelli, Matías Gatti and Fernando Mendoza Role: theoretical foundation, design conception and technical development: 3D modeling, rendering and image post-production.
In Latin America, the historical centers of the cities are the last vestiges of the traditional city, with multifunctional use, social integration and diversity. The modernization of these urban centers took place based on a predominant developmental model between the 1940’s and the 1980’s, framing the conception of the formal city – characterized by laws, regulations and the real estate market, where the public space is generous, the transportation system promotes city connectivity and there is a greater provision of infrastructure and public services. However, the formal city represents only a small part of the citizens. It performs only a few functions and prioritizes the higher social classes, therefore, is exclusionary. Such exclusion has become evident since the 1980’s through the increase of vulnerable populations, tenements, sexual exploitation, poverty, gentrification and socio-spatial segregation. Since then, this informal facet of the modern city has become one of the main public policy issues of the Latin American cities in the 21st century, specially in São Paulo, Brazil. This conceptual design recognizes the issue of social inequality present in the historical center of the Brazilian metropolis and analyzes it under the scope of bio-inspired
design to conceive a proposal of mutualistic character that seizes the already established physical urban space of the formal city to materialize a proper environment for its informal facet. In Botany, a rhizome is a subterranean stem of a plant structure that evolves roots and shoots out of its nodes. They develop from auxiliary buds and thrive perpendicular to the force of gravity, up or downwards. At the same time, the observation of natural rhizomes by Deleuze and Guattari led to the conceptual frameworks and philosophical principles of connectivity, multiplicity, regeneration and heterogeneity in data representation and interpretation, interacting together planar and non-planar connections between different agents to derive a form of united model. In contemporary society, a rhizomatic agent mediates semiotic chains like organizations of power, real estate market, cultural flows of arts, science, education and social struggles, spreading towards available spaces or eroding from existing spaces on the way in the pursuit of mutual equilibrium. As a biological abstraction from natural processes into computational design, the rhizome’s botanical behaviors and philosophical principles are incorporated
as a conceptual framework for the design of an urban superstructure of 182.000 m2 in the Anhangabaú Valley. Considering the unconnected infrastructure around, the Urban Rhizome seizes the buildings’windowless façades as growth nodes and promotes intricate spatial connections throughout the valley, spreading from and between buildings like São Bento Subway Station, Santa Ifigênia Viaductand Mirante do Vale Building, the tallest construction in São Paulo. Disposing of several complementary programs like permanent and temporary social housing, health assistance, libraries, workshops, up-skilling and retraining technical courses and the urban farm, people from all classes, but specially the poorest ones, are welcome in an environment that seeks to promote both social and occupational reintegration. The rhizome analogy brings up a reflection on social inequality and presents a conceptual strategy towards ontological equality: as the natural rhizome grows from the ground and grips on other structures for self-establishment, so a social-oriented urban infrastructure emerges from unoccupied areas in the city to provide an alternate possibility for integration and urban life.
