unity in Ukraine, which is orientated to contemporary architecture.
The results of CANactions will be published in ACC magazine (link), on the web-sites of “Architectural club” (link), AB "ZOTOV&CO" (www.zotov.com.ua),
Theme
Theme of CANactions 2009 is emergent design techniques.
This theme could include following architectural branches as Digital design, sustainable architecture and other sectors, which by the participants’ opinions, could be EMERGENT.???
Any architectural projects made earlier of specially for the CANactions’09 are allowed for submission.
Presentation
All the projects will be submitted in two phases:
Phase 1 – selection of 10-15 participants of CANactions.
Project has to be sent by e-mail to: (__) in PDF (not less then 300 dpi, not more then 10 Mb).
Phase 2 –the CANactions participants prepare 15-20 min presentation of their projects (screen projector, microphone) and materials for the exhibition in House of Architect, Kyiv. The project has to be presented by author. -> exhibition is the first architecture biennale
Presentation requirements: file should be composed in PDF format on A0 sheets, placed horizontal (not more then 1 sheets). This file should contain sufficient amount of the presentation graphic material, including text explanation up to 300 words.
The raster images should have printing definition not less then 300 dpi. It’s recommended to avoid solid black fillings, because the projects will be printed on ink-jet printer.
The presentation requirements could be changed after phase 1 results.
The presentation materials should be made in Ukrainian (or Russian) and English. Verbal part can be presented in any language.

r-workshop programme will focus on the design and 1:1 fabrication of an interactive pavilion for the 2012 International Festival of Electronic Language (FILE). Located on Avenida Paulista, the pavilion will react to light sensors and human activity, so as to transform and create a range of different lighting and spatial effects, triggering further movement and producing an interactive feedback loop of behaviour and response. To accommodate this responsiveness, the design should be developed using recursive scripting, associative modelling and digital fabrication.
Each workshop will focus on a different phase of the pavilion’s design and construction. Instruction will be led by Rob Stuart-Smith of Kokuggia and Tristan Simmonds of Simmonds Studio, with Lawrence Friesen of Generative Geometry, Anne Save de Beaurecueil and Franklin Lee of SUBdV, together withand other AA tutors, as well as local structural engineers and set-designers. Each workshop will offer introductory instruction in computational design - Grasshopper, (GECO, Firefly) and Arduino, and digital fabrication, while advanced instruction will be offered to participants undertaking multiple workshops.
Workshop 1 will develop design variations in small models, as well as material and structural scale modeling, testing and initial 1:1 prototyping, following computational and digital fabrication instruction. Workshop 2 will produce 1:1 prototyping. Following computational and digital fabrication instruction, it will explore the mechanics and electronics of the light-sensors and motors that generate the transformations of the pavilion. Workshop 3 will fabricate the final elements, working directly with manufacturers, testing partial assemblies. Advanced development of all circuits and Arduino scripts will take place following computational and digital fabrication instruction. Workshop 4 will focus on the final assemblage of the pavilion on site.

I would to convert then to meshes: when I connect the triangular surfaces to mesh, they are divided into two smaller triangles.
I would like the triangle AEa, instead there is an other segment that connects point E with the midpoint of Aa!
Any ideas?
Can you help me, please? Thanks in advance

es has guided me in a - what I once thought - specific path within architecture, but recent discoveries (like the Grasshopper-community etc.) have learned me that the field of digital and parametric architecture is so-to-speak alive and kicking. This is also the main subject I would like to write my thesis about. It is however mainly the subject and defining its boundaries – what do I really want to explore and research? – which is the most difficult factor at this time.
A concrete idea is non-existant, and my current visions will probably be redirected when I have a first meeting with the promotors in February. Moreover there is the knowledge that it is impossible to make a thesis at the institute in Antwerp on no matter what subject in the world of digital architecture. Understandably too, it’s a small world and does not always result in realised projects, but in impressive imagery. At this moment however, I am thinking of two possible research fields to focus on.
In a first option the focus might lie on how digital design tools can be used to bring a certain aspect of interactivity to building facades. Such interactivity can occur both in the design phase and throughout the use of the building. The first scenario, in which the interactivity occurs when designing, I would focus on how the designer can shape a building’s outer perspective in function of environmental parameters: obstacles, elements that block sunlight from entering the building, visually important landmarks, etc. It should be noted however that focus will mostly lie on the design element, and less on the energy-efficiency and sustainability. Tools that will be researched would include Grasshopper, Rhino Scripting, Processing and ParaCloud.
A second possible approach could be categorized under both Swarm Intelligence and Generative Design and might study how the aforementioned digital techniques might be implemented in the new urbanism. We notably see more (innovative) interventions in which the design and planning is heavily influenced by movement patterns and morphogenetic parameters and functions. Based on the outcome of these scripted techniques, designers tend to work towards a proposal which answers a certain urbanistic issue.
All additional insights, guidelines, tips, comments are more than welcome in order to help me define the scope of my thesis subject. I must admit I am pretty new to this digital design world (it is not actively promoted at my home university, but it is promoted at the university where I am studying for one year now) and thus have limited experience at the time of writing.
Please also feel free to check out the blog post concerning this topic, which is a little more elaborate: http://nielswouters.be/thesis-digital-design-english/
