AA Istanbul Visiting School 2011 (2011-02-11 08:08)

[1] In spring 2011, the AA will hold its first Istanbul Global School in collaboration with Istanbul Technical University. This 10 day long intensive team-based workshop, taught by recent AA graduates/ AA staff, will explore tall structures through vertical growth algorithms by focusing on local crafts. The parametric toolset for the studios will be Rhino, Grasshopper, scripting within Grasshopper using VB.net, and Processing. The exploration of diverse parametric platforms and their associated outcomes will enable the participants to grasp the discrete approaches taken towards parametric design. The students are expected to organize themselves into teams of 3-4 people. After a brief common module that introduces students to Rhino, Grasshopper, Processing, and a scripting crash course, the studio will be split into units, focusing on the same objectives with different briefs. Invited lecturers include Patrik Schumacher (Partner/ Zaha Hadid Architects), and Michael Weinstock (Director, AA Emtech Programme). During workshop visits and sessions, students will benefit from getting a hands-on experience towards the integration of analog and digital tools in a context specific brief. Being the integration of crafts and computation, latest fabrication techniques will be explored based on specific briefs. Model making and the testing of different digital fabrication methods will be integral to the core of the course throughout the workshop. The course will take advantage of Istanbul s geographic and historical diversity by organizing tours to different parts of the city. The unique artistic and historical periods of Istanbul will be explored through its crafts. In accordance with the team work carried out in studios, a series of seminars and lectures relating to computational design and Istanbul s contemporary architecture will be organized. The deadline for applications is 18 March 2011. A late deadline of 1 April 2011 is also in effect, but this 21

will incur a £50 surcharge. Application forms and additional information are available online at: [2]www.aaschool.ac.uk/istanbul and applications can be submitted to: [3]visitingschool@aaschool.ac.uk The microsite for the AA Istanbul Visiting School is: [4]http://istanbul.aaschool.ac.uk/ 1.

[AGENTWARE] workshop (2011-03-04 11:02)

[1] [2]Agentware is a seven-days workshop in Rovinj, Croatia. Its focus is generative algorithmic design, in particular multi-agent computational systems that can read external feedback for applications in complex design ecologies. The workshop will be followed by a two-day symposium entitled Proto/e/co/logics. The symposium will bind together ideas of speculative realism in philosophy, expanding developments in science and shifting modes of production as it pertains to design, towards a redefinition of materiality and adaptation in complex environments. Invited speakers include Slavoj Zizek, Wolf Prix, Reza Negarestani, Olafur Eliasson, Sanford Kwinter, Francois Roche, Sylvia Lavin, Ed Keller, Tom Kovac, Adrian Lahoud, Brett Steele, Jeff Kipnis, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Usman Haque and others. Imminent future developments within still largely untouched stretches of Adriatic Coast offer opportunities for speculative approaches to ecological in architecture, going beyond innocent and reductive approaches to ecology as in notions of sustainability” and ”green”. In relation to increased computational intelligence with the introduction of adaptive agent-based systems and large data sets in architecture, 26

the workshop will explore rewriting material and organizational protocols within design and planning sequences, towards larger sensitivity to host ecologies. Speculative agent-based proposals will be tested through pilot locations found within rich cultural and natural resources of Istria. During the workshop participants will gain access to Biothing’s extensive code library consisting of advanced code sequences accumulated through Biothing’s professional and academic research (at the AA, Columbia and Pratt Institute). Participants will engage closely with the rich ecology of computational resources and explicit strategies for cross-breeding code within the design process. Outputs of the workshop will become part of an exhibition initially presented to local developers and visiting international design critics, after which it will travel to other locations. APPLICATIONS The deadline for applications is 8 July 2011. A late deadline of 22 July 2011 is also in effect, but this will incur a £50 surcharge. Application forms and additional information are available online at:[3] www.aaschool.ac.uk/rovinj and applications can be submitted to: visitingschool@aaschool.ac.uk. All participants traveling from abroad are responsible for securing any visa required, and are advised to contact their home embassy early. After payment of fees, the AA can provide a letter confirming participation in the workshop. SCHEDULE & VENUE The school runs from 30 July to 5 August, followed by a two-day symposium and will be hosted at Hotel Park in Rovinj.

DigiBAG - support DigitAG& trip to LaN-Flight (2011-03-11 12:45)

[1] Yesterday talking with [2]Monika Wittig ... she said to me ”would be great to have you joining our [3]LaN-Flight” and i replied as a joke ”i could make a paypal widget to support my trip”. Thus the joke became real and she did the ”JOIN LaNFLIGHT or DONATE for live feed by DigitAG &” paypal. Using it you can join LaN-Flight with a special ”DigitAG &” discount or directly support my travel to USA for the first DigitAG & on site live report of the event. Actually we are focusing on ”more digital <> more physical” issue .... trying to explore the physical-real emergent effects of increasing digital interactions. 32

This maybe can be a good test for it! So if you want to join the [4]LaN-Flight or support this first attempt ......”push the Pay Now button on the side ”!!! 1. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eS9DepyXYx8/TXoMVMwKOJI/AAAAAAAACCc/LmxSxqDKTKk/s1600/DigiBAG.png 2. http://www.livearchitecture.net/monika 3. http://www.livearchitecture.net/lanflight 4. http://livearchitecture.net/lanflight

April madMeshMaker :: a generative surface modeler with output to cnc router (2011-04-01 16:27)

[1] ”The madMeshMaker is a generative surface modeling environment, intended to be an intuitive and fun introduction to fabrication with computer-numerically-controlled (CNC) table routers. CNC routers have become a staple of institutions related to digital design and manufacturing for their ability to rapidly fabricate models, furniture, interior systems, and other prototypical assemblages. However, because of the inherent 3D-modeling knowledge needed to both virtually and physically design, the machinery still remains an ’advanced topic’ in academic curriculum. The madMeshMaker dissolves this notion, allowing any novice to digital technologies to easily create a virtual model embedded with the information necessary to communicate with a CNC router.” [2]Link 1.

[1] Interesting tool developed by Sivam Krish â&#x20AC;?Genoform is generative design software that lets your computer generate designs based on genetic models that you create. This is different from creating models that you drive. Genoform is about getting your computer to generate 10002s of designs from which you can choose. There are many news issues that you will face when you embark on generating designs. But, before you face those issues you need to first generate designs. Genoform can help you get started.â&#x20AC;?

[1] ”Brian Harms is a fifth-year architecture student at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. This site is dedicated to the documentation of thesis work completed during the 2010-2011 academic year. Thesis: Industrial Urbanity and the Robotic Aesthetic Parametric design software has been a key component in contemporary architectural design. It has allowed designers the freedom to digitally explore a multitude of design alternatives with relatively immediate feedback. This mode of exploration allows for a fluid and dynamic process of experimentation and analysis. Typically this potential has been employed by designers as a means of optimization. Once a combination is found which maximizes performance and efficiency it is chosen as the final result. In the actualization of this specific set of parameters the fluidity and potential for variation that the software provided is lost, and the seemingly infinite potential of the object is narrowed down to a single state. I am interested in prolonging the life of the parametric model beyond it’s digital existence into the built environment. Hopefully this will imbue a higher, more complex level of interaction between building and participant which is more congruent with the current level of interaction the designer has with his parametric model. I am investigating the typology of the factory to explore the possibilities of an adaptable, responsive, highly parametric architecture made possible by the population of its space with the latest in robotic technologies (which are already present in many modern manufacturing operations). The primary challenge of this thesis will be to reconsider the role of this production-oriented technology in a way that allows the factory’s program, atmosphere, and phyical presence to be constantly renegotiated by the same technology it houses.” [2]Link

ECO LOGIC HABITAT WS - June 27th - July 9th 2011 (2011-05-12 08:51)

[1] ECO LOGIC HABITAT workshop of performative self-construction June 27th - July 9th 2011 by Paolo Cascone/[2]CodesignLab 2 weeks of full immersion at Casa dell’Architettura di Roma in collaboration with: Fabrizio Carola - NEA e Aga Khan Award Architect [3]AKT engineering (London) 46

High-tech design / low-tech-construction Given the urgent need for a sustainable design able to respond to emergency conditions (social/environmental) this workshop is a concrete opportunity for building a scale 1 to 1 prototype of an eco logic habitat. The design to manufacture process intends to speculate on temporary and environmentally responsive architectural solutions using low-tech and fast deployment construction techniques. Thanks to Paolo Cascone’s innovative approach in the field of ecological design, the 30 years experience of self-construction projects in Africa of Fabrizio Carola and the tremendous experience of AKT engineering in the field of complex structures, this workshop proposes a new way to bridge high-tech design process and low-tech construction. This workshop will involve both students and tutors on a two phases project: phase 1 / studio based (parametric modelling and environmental simulations) and phase 2 / self-construction based. This with the aim to explore the cause-effect relations between the material system and its performances according to programmatic and spatial needs. The construction of the scale 1 to 1 eco logic habitat prototype will be the output of the environmental parametric design master class directed by Paolo Cascone with the aim of unifying theory with practice trough a self-construction experience. The final prototype will be realised in the garden of the House of Architecture in Rome, the opening of the installation will be the 9th of July with a ceremony open to the public. Admission Requirements Eligible individuals must be graduate students in architecture, urban design, engineering, or related disciplines. Deadline The deadline for submitting an application is May 25th, 2011 Info website: [4]Inarch email : inarch@inarch.it 1. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KTUrk7fy-JM/TcuFdwFm5kI/AAAAAAAACGc/6Eyl3DPoXMA/s1600/Eco_logic_habitat.jpg 2. http://www.co-design-lab.net/ 3. http://www.akt-uk.com/ 4. http://www.inarch.it/default.aspx?pag=0.6.10.3&lang=it

[1] [2]IAAC (Barcelona) is organizing a workshop in Turin within its[3] IAAC global summerschool self(a)rchitecture program. Local tutors will be: [4]Cesare Griffa, [5]Davide Gomba, [6]Alessio Erioli, [7]Andrea Graziano It s a 2 weeks intensive program, from (13 to 28 july 2011) during which we will be thinking architecture in terms of: life sustainable systems, energy consumption, parametric design, software coding, hardware hacking, fabbing, and much more& for more info: read below and click [8]here to download full program (pdf) APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN: [9]click here to apply! &.. SUMMER SCHOOL 2011 *part of the IAAC Global School Project - Barcelona-Turin-Mumbai Self(a)rchitecture Key words: ecology, metabolism, responsive architecture, artificial intelligence, datadriven structures, open data, multiscalarity, digital fabrication, parametric design Abstract: The IAAC Summer School for the 2011 academic year will continue to investigate multiscalar strategies for the (re) construction of our inhabiting environments (home, city, planet). The last few years of technological, social, political, economic and cultural changes (at both the global and the local scale) demand that we rethink what kind of habitat humanity will live in in the coming decades, given that space in all its aspects (landscapes, cities, places, buildings and bodies) is undergoing dramatic transformations. The growing interest in managing climate change, in embracing of the green agenda in urban development, in the development of techniques for local energy generation, in the incorporation of information 49

technology into the physical space and other relevant situations, call for a new vision of the evolution of the city and architecture. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for the development of projects and initiatives that will help transform habitable spaces in keeping with the new requirements of both global and local users. Self(a)rchitecture is an agenda with research and education goals that combines science and technology with architecture and urban planning. Self-Sufficiency, Self-Fabrication, Self-Organization, Self-Design and Self-and Collective Intelligence are some of the key words on which the academic agenda of the programme will focus. The final outcome of the programme will include design proposals and the testing of Self(a)rchitecture at three scales: Scale 1. 1000 people (urban block) Scale 2. 100 people (urban building) Scale 3. 1 person (home, shelter) Producing Self-Sufficient architectural products means, above all, producing more effective organizational systems. The design of the buildings will have special relevance, equipping them to generate the totality of the energy they consume and creating, where necessary, new physiological and metabolic delimitations of the building. The proposed buildings will be related to a variety of uses (residential, work, commercial, etc) and their users needs (micro scale) as well to the specific context and the sum of groups of information (macro scale) Building structures on all three scales will be defined by a set of parameters, which will drive the final designs. These parameters will be generated by geographical characteristics of the specific sites: latitude and longitude, environmental data (temperature, CO2 emissions) and urban context (density, flow of people). The building is thus converted into a micro-city, with all of the strata of a small city, and is understood as a complete organism, plugged into a substratum by the managing of the input and output of local data and characteristics. The final structures will be treated not only as independent nodes but also as parts of a network a new urban layer. Such networks and their dynamics will be explored with a view to understanding how information affects the construction of the physical world, and how cities and their built elements can be seen as informational architecture systems. The intention is not simply to interface with the built environment but to implement strategies that will transform built environments themselves into information systems. Distributed educational model: The IAAC Global Summer School is part of the IAAC Global School project. The IAAC GS (Global School) aims at generating a dynamic network based on distributed knowledge and collective actions. As part of this initiative, the IAAC Summer School will take place simultaneously at three different sites: Barcelona, Turin and Mumbai. All of the sites will be connected 24 hours a day via videoconferencing to develop the Self(a)rchitecture project through the sharing of knowledge, techniques and experiences. IAAC Summer School participants will have the opportunity to enjoy a unique distributed academic experience, collaborating with fellow students, faculty and researchers from all over the world in an effort to transform Architecture into a tool/platform for rethinking inhabitation (at the planetary, metropolitan, urban, building and habitat scale) by way of a series of new ideas for creating space for human habitation. Participants: The programme is aimed at students from a variety of compatible fields, such as Architecture, Engineering, Fine Art, Design, Landscape Architecture, Programming, etc. Calendar: Programme duration: 13-28 July 2011 The programme is structured in three sections: 1 - Digital Design and Parametric Modelling Wednesday 13 July: Introduction 14-15 July: Design proposal development, Grasshopper Tutorials 16-17 July: Design proposal development, Ecotect Tutorials 2 - Interactive and Informational Development 18-19 July: Special workshop, Living Buildings with Enric Ruiz-Geli, project development 20-21 July: Interaction proposal development, Arduino/Programming Tutorials 50

hoopsnake: Iteration in Grasshopper (2011-05-19 14:09)

[1] ”HoopSnake, apart from a legendary creature, is simple component for Grasshopper. What it does in principle is to create a copy of the data it receives at it’s input upon user request and store it locally. This duplicate is made available through a standard Grasshopper parameter output. What turns this operation from mundane to actually promising is the fact that the input of the component includes some custom programming to escape Grasshopper’s recursive loop avoidance check. What this means in practice is that it is possible through the use of HoopSnake to send the output of a set of components back to it’s input in a looping fashion. With the help of a little bit of Data Tree / Data List manipulation, this should open up some new possibilities for iterative process modeling.” 52

Metamorphic Architecture (2011-05-24 09:38)

[1] ”Metamorphic Architecture - Study of architecture design with metamorphosis The world is filled with metamorphic behaviors. A caterpillar metamorphoses into a butterfly, and a tadpole metamorphoses into a frog. Besides these individual behaviors, collective behaviors, such as the optimization of ant colony, is also metamorphic (and sometimes emergent). Our trial is to design the architecture of metamorphic artifact by making full use of IT, robotics and smart material technologies. Our vision is to generate the totally new world in which, products lithely react to environmental changes, products create the cosmos through the movement, and products live in symbiotic relationship with human beings. ” Link to the [2]website 1. http://metamo.sfc.keio.ac.jp/index.html 2. http://metamo.sfc.keio.ac.jp/index.html

PROTO/E/CO/LOGICS// SPECULATIVE MATERIALISM IN ARCHITECTURE | 2 day Symposium | Rovinj Croatia | 6-7 August 2011 (2011-05-24 10:03)

[1] ”PROTO/E/CO/LOGICS SPECULATIVE MATERIALISM IN ARCHITECTURE 55

SYMPOSIUM / ROVINJ / CROATIA / 6-7 AUGUST The symposium will tease out speculative directions for architecture that move beyond innocent and reductive approaches to ecology as in notions of ”sustainability” and ”green”. As Slavoj Zizek reminds us, the so called ”balance of nature” is in itself a myth since catastrophes have always been an integral part of natural history. Rather than acting from a position of idealization with regards to nature, can we conceive of agency within a condition that isalready artificial, accepting noise and errors, embracing true face of complexity? Recent tendencies in architecture take a unique point of view, with aesthetically novel and unnatural sensibilities emerging from a close scrutiny and study of apparently natural systems. These speculative tendencies are being driven by mathematical and computational abstractions that transform the way we understand the matter-information relationship. Instead of form being imprinted upon matter, matter is understood as an active agent in its own formation. It promotes dissolution of linear hierarchies, enabling heterogeneous and non-linear nature of complex agencies to hybridize and be incorporated into increasingly complex fabric of architecture. Under this accelerated convergence of matter-information, architecture can begin to speculate its own possible futures within denaturalized material ecology and conditions far from equilibrium. Symposium is sponsored by Maistra d.d and the Region of Istria FREE ENTRANCE” Link to the [2]website

CAST | Center for Architecture and Situated Technologies (2011-07-22 22:32)

[1] ”The Center for Architecture and Situated Technologies [CAST] is located within the Department of Architecture at the University at Buffalo. CAST is devoted to work on the evolving and growing implications of new technologies within the built environment: social, political, ecological, and material. Our various research efforts address the impact of mobile and embedded computing, wireless networks, responsive systems and cybernetics on architecture and the city today. We consider issues like context, embodied interaction and performance as important, rapidly evolving characteristics to contemporary architecture and the city. We study issues of techné and of technology that are ever-present in architectural discourse, but which have taken on new meanings and questions with the advent of new forms of human-computer interaction. These forms often originate in computer science and in engineering, and include the development of ubiquitous computing, physical computing, as well as parametric modeling and digital fabrication techniques. One result of these new technologies is an opportunity and a demand for architectural study and practice to reshape their disciplinary boundaries and methods. With this shift, the role of research in the design studio historical and theoretical as well as material and technological research grows vitally important and must be rethought. Our Center’s research, pedagogy, design work and discourse are unique as a single 67

group within a major research university, devoted to methodically addressing these emerging issues.” Link to [2]CAST website 1. http://cast.ap.buffalo.edu/site/ 2. http://cast.ap.buffalo.edu/site/

[1]

Blog of the course: ARC 440/640: Computer Applications Relational Geometries Spring 2011 University at Buffalo The State University of New York Instructors: Omar Khan and Nicholas Bruscia â&#x20AC;?Course Description This techniques seminar introduces students to the next generation of computer aided design tools that facilitate movement between modeling and material prototyping. It will explore methods and techniques of parametric modeling; an approach to design that frames the problem of form-making as an interaction of multiple material systems. We will take the topic of parameters and variables as a theme to be interrogated through different types of computing , including NURBS modeling in Rhinoceros 4.0, scripting in Grasshopper 0.8 (or newest release), physical computing with the Arduino microcontroller and rapid prototyping with the Universal Laser Cutter, ZCorp 3D printer, CNC Router and Plasma Cutter. The semester will be broken into 2-3 week problems that will focus on specific methods and technologies. We will take inspiration from formal organizations found in nature that aggregate, cluster, crowd, flock, and flow. These will be studied carefully to understand how their dynamic behavior articulates itself into form. Course Objectives and Outcomes The courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objective is to use current digital design tools to develop productive techniques for architectural design. Students will become proficient in the use of these tools as well as cognizant of their 71

potential affordance within the design and fabrication process.” Link to [2]Relational Geometries blog Link to [3]”Reservoir Wall” post

Atelier Yukio Minobe | Architectural Ecologies (2011-08-31 10:11)

[1]

A very interesting website. ”Atelier Yukio Minobe was founded by Yukio Minobe as the design studio which explores a new kind of environments integrating of nature and artefact, ARCHITECTURAL ECOLOGIES, in the interface between architecture, biology, ecology, environmental engineering and computer science. The atelier has regarded architecture as organisations through materials’ adaptations, emergences and metamorphoses under their environments in nature. ARCHITECTURAL ECOLOGIES has been defined as organisations being specific to material constituents and their environments, which are emerged through the reciprocity between materials’ own behaviours and external influences by environments. Based on the definition of ARCHITECTURAL ECOLOGIES, Atelier Yukio Minobe believes not only that investigations into methodologies for generating such ecologies facilitate higher performances in built environments, but also that they lead us towards a new environment integrating artefact with nature. Currently Atelier Yukio Minobe has embarked on attempts to instrumentalise the wisdoms of nature for generating performative built environments through developing advanced digital methodologies whereby we can replicate the natural system. The methodologies have linked together from extractions of geometries, material arrangements and generative methods in nature, reconstructions of them as computational programmes and algorithms, and searching into artificial environments asymptotic to nature in terms of performances through digital simulations. With essential developments of digital tools and new design processes, Atelier Yukio Minobe has pursued integrated design methodologies whereby a new kind of artificial environment can be emerged along the natural system.” Link to ”[2]Atelier Yukio Minobe” website Link to ”[3]A Study on Architecture in Moving Air” post 1.

[1] Very interesting blog held by Richard Bush. ”&It’s the topic for this blog: ’Concrete Fabrication’, so called because the present project is investigating fabric formwork in the production of concrete structures. I’m a Master of Architecture student at the University of Edinburgh and myself and two other students are beginning a studio module that researches ’Disruptive Technologies’ within the sphere of architecture. What are ’Disruptive Technologies?’ I shall explain in the first proper entry. But briefly, we shall be looking at two absorbing yet contrasting subject areas where new technological techniques and advances are occurring within the world of Materiality and Immateriality (i.e the physical and digital frontiers) and their influence and incorporation into the field of architecture.” [2]Link to ”Concrete Fabrication” blog 1. http://richardbush.wordpress.com/ 2. http://richardbush.wordpress.com/

Studio AION architecture (2011-10-01 13:10)

[1] ”AION is an architectural practice engaging with the complexity of built environments through an integral approach. Matter, technique and function are treated as a continuum through a design process triggering novelty out of sistematicity and assessing praxis as a form of creative engineering of life. Understanding architecture as essentially involved in the material organization of the living, the office operates within urban and environmental processes seeking for higher system performance across scales and domains.” [2]Link to ”AION” website

algorithmic design (2011-10-07 00:01)

[1] ”This body of work is computational craft that creates consistency and precision within formal explorations. There is a conscious redefining of material constrains through pattern and code, which incubates a search for progressive manufacturing methods. Pure algorithmic design encapsulates the potential for new patterns, which manifest around generative procedures through scripted logic. This abstract material logic embodiment enables an engagement with the complexities of organizational space. Drawn from the purgatory of design, these examples demonstrate a state in computation.” [2]Link to ”algorithmic design” website 1. http://code.algorithmicdesign.net/ 2. http://code.algorithmicdesign.net/

Designing the Dynamic (2011-10-07 09:48)

[1] Designing the Dynamic, workshop and symposium, 21-25th November, Melbourne. ”Designing the Dynamic will bring together built environment designers with specialists from mathematics, engineering, computer and material science to explore the design and representation of dynamic systems. The aim is to build virtual and physical design prototypes and simulation tools and that represent complex trade offs in ways that support intuitive design decision-making. Multidisciplinary teams of architects, designers, engineers, mathematicians, and scientists will address design challenges that engage the extreme dynamics of air, water and real time response and anticipation. For immersion in space of extreme change and complexity this event will work from the context of sailing and sail boat design and the complementary pairing within that world of sailor and scientist. In sailboat racing tiny increments in boat performance are critical to the chance of winning, recorded and tacit knowledge of the experienced sailor are as critical to success as scientific analysis, the fastest route is never the shortest. Architects, engineers, designers, mathematicians are invited to sharpen their wits together by considering the playoff of hydrofoil and aerofoil, system behaviour and real time tuning.” [2]Link to ”Designing the Dynamic” website 81

ENCODE - Egyptian Node for COllaborative DEsign (2011-10-24 22:24)

[1] ”ENCODE is a design by research studio created by the collaboration of young architects dedicated to explore innovative design systems on different scales from object to field aiming for a more significant Egyptian presence in the global design market. Based on the mathematical and material logic of natural systems Encode investigate various digital and physical computational tools exploring the potentials of digital design and fabrication techniques to correlate education, profession and design industry. ENCODE team believes in research as a catalyst of innovation in the design industry. During last few years, ENCODE team conducted a series of workshops, seminars and lectures in computational design and fabrication in Alexandria, London, Vienna, Beijing. Also they have been involved in academic, organizational and professional collaborations with specialists in digital design and fabrication industry in Egypt, Germany, Italy, Palestine, China and UK. During these collaborations ENCODE has found nature as a rich world of inspiration through its mathematical and material logic. With strategic industry partners and collaborators, we would be able to develop this knowledge through exploratory workshop environments that focus on learning through making with the latest digital design and fabrication systems through team based projects, dealing with the translation of ideas into atoms, shifting scales between study models & 1:1 fabrication prototypes.” [2]Link to ENCODE website 1. http://www.encodestudio.net/ 2. http://www.encodestudio.net/

[1] The Hyperbody workshop series presents: Robotic Facade Fabrication 12th-16th December 2011 - Hyperbody Robotic Lab, RDM Campus Rotterdam Five days of folding, simulation and robotic fabrication When changing a paradigm, it is best not to even try and improve the old one in any way. It is best to start from scratch. RoboFold is an attempt to completely re-think how metal can be formed. It is system that works with the material and not against it. It is a system built around the gentle bends and sharp crease lines of curved folding in sheet material. It is a system that allows a product to exist 101

at many scales through an iterative design and development process, letting hand folding of paper and other materials naturally exist alongside the robotic folding of metal.

Open Energy (2011-12-14 10:21)

[1] Open Energy Visualization intends to develop a platform to explore new visualization systems and interaction of energy. The system is structured around two dimensions: Open Energy Monitor (Energy 105

Monitoring Device), investigates open hardware devices to monitor electrical consumption and a second dimension, Open Energy Visualization (Data Visualization / Spatial Data Visualization), explores visualization systems in real-time on electricity consumption, allowing us to amplify the awareness around energy. Open Energy Visualization (OEV) is a software to visualize, in real-time, the electricity consumption in the city. OEV explores visualization and interaction systems on different scales (urban/domestic), what enables new forms of energy-human relationship. Augmentation system for energy data infrastructure will enable a new form of consciousness evolved, that allows us to redefine the energetic systems. OEV proposes, as a visualization prototype, exploring the electricity consumption of Kitchen Budapest Lab @KIBU by monitoring devices DIWO/Open Hardware. OEV tries to be an Open Sofware Platform from which any citizen could visualize electricity consumption of their home-environment. Real-Time Visualization on Pattern Electricity Consumption in Kitchen Budapest Lab @KIBU. Open Energy is a project to develop and build open source energy monitoring and analysis visualization tools for energy efficiency and distributed renewable micro-generation. To the next stage of evolution of the Internet of Things, Open Energy considers the design of a visual system that is inserted into a new energy distribution model (Smart Grids, Tom Raftery) where the invention of technologies will enable a decentralized redistribution production electricity on a global scale, defining new frameworks for sustainable balance. Open Energy (OE) is a real-time visualization of electricity consumption (kWh) and levels of CO2 (g) issued in the city. OE intends to implement the Smart Grid system design (Intelligent Electric Distribution Networks) through the invention of visualization technologies and autonomous production of energy, allowing greater optimization of the distribution of global electric energy. These visual structures enable new forms of energy-human relationship. The real-time visualization of electricity consumption patterns and the simulation in predicting consumption, constitute new information systems through which to view energy consumption, CO2 levels, nodes with a surplus production energy, real-time value of electricity.
