SA_2012 Sociable Asymetry 2012 Together with installation artist Ruairi Glynn, we are currently developing a unique architectural scale robot that at first appearance, when static, is simply a towering structure. The aluminium frame will give no visual clues that it is in fact a living and sociable creature that comes to life as people draw closer. Its movements will be uncanny, so human in motion, yet so inhuman in form. MC_2011 Motive Colloquies Pompidou Centre, Paris June 2011 An interactive installation and performance, developed through a collaboration between interaction designers, architects and performance artists. Its principal performer, a 3 metre high responsive robot, interacts with its audience’s gestures while it waits for the arrival of its human co-performers. RCE_2011 Responsive Catenary Structure The process of creating structures have been expanded from only geometrical considerations towards a more complex relationships, creating complex forms, associating generative process that could respond to optimization purposes or even finding responses to a changing environment. Physics Simulation Custom physics simulation software for structural topology generation. These simulations allow us to define structurally optimised surfaces and meshes that can be transformed into efficient architectures KDR_2011 Kinect-controlled delta robot Experiment on non conventional interfaces. Digital Ecologies AAC Msc UCL A Delta-Robot is controlled by a Kinect through Processing and Arduino. The movements of the performer control directly the position of the robot's effector, and the rotation and opening of the gripper. SC_2011 Space Controller An Android based phone sends OSC data to a Processing sketch, controlling a “manipulator” that interacts with a cloud of self-organising agents and modifies its configuration. The resulting structure is the combination of the actions of the performer, and the internal rules driving the agents Mesh Relaxation Simple implementation of a mesh relaxation. The nodes are repelled by any other node standing closer than a minimum distance, generating a self-organising behaviour, with triangular and hexagonal shapes emerging.. FE_2010 Facede Explorer Parametric model of a standard office building facade. Every dimension can be altered to explore glass ratios, spandrel dimensions, shading elements and overal geometry. ML_2010 Custom Software for the the project "Glorieta Juan Carlos I" The space planning of the square was generated with custom software implementing a Voronoi algorithm to subdivide the space into circulations and activity areas. This interactive application allowed for a public consultation process that took place in Mula, giving the citizens the opportunity to actively participate in the design process by proposing their own designs. VE_2010 Virtual Ecosystem Installation consisting in a cloud of self-organising elements, reacting to the modifications of their their environment. IDS_2009 Improvisation on a Digital Surface Digital experiment ESC+Carlos Miras A performer interacts with the space through light sensors and resistors making it evolve with the music in real time. |
