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.

al read” component in grasshopper.
But somehow it seems that the command line “TempSensor.requestTemperatures();” makes the firefly firmata somehow unstable. I have also connected 5 servo motor which move strangely irregular/wrong when the command line above is in the program. So, when I for example only control the "Digital Pin 12" in grasshopper it mainly moves the servo on Pin 11 (!) but also a bit time delayed the servo on Pin 12.
Do you have any ideas? It has to be something inside the “#include <DallasTemperature.h>” (Libary for the temperature sensor) which doesnt go together with the firefly firmata und gets something wrong in the "void WriteToPin" firmata command
Or do you may have any working codes for implementing a temperature sensor? Its doenst have to be the one i have, I could get another one.
here you can see the code: http://txt.do/drqao (a simplified version of the latest firmata including my TempSensor lines marked with "//...//TEST")
Thanks! Julian…

Visiting School Rio de Janeiro will collaborate with the Centro Carioca de Design with the support of Columbia University Studio X to investigate new possibilities for the urban infrastructure surrounding World Cup Stadiums. Nation-wide, there has been significant investment to build and renovate stadiums for the 2014 World Cup in order to meet the required standard FIFA regulations (‘Padrão FIFA’). At the same time, there has been a large public demand for equal investment into transport systems, public space, and public programs such as hospitals and schools. The Visiting School will tap into the momentum of this movement, and promote a series of interventions within and around the World Cup structures, proposing new public programs and standards for their legacy. Students can choose to focus directly on the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the venue for the Final match of the World Cup. The intense ten-day workshop will employ computational design and digital fabrication to introduce a design methodology that creatively automates and promotes transformation, mutation and complexity for these infrastructure interventions.
Prominent Features of the workshop
Teaching teamThe teaching team will include a mix of tutors from the Architectural Association, including Theodore Sarantoglou Lalis e Dora Sweijd (lassa-architects.com) of Diploma 17, and locally-based architects, urban-designers and experts, mediated by locally-based Visiting School directors, to promote cutting-edge innovative strategies informed by local political, economic and construction issues.
Computational skillsThe workshop will teach advanced digital modeling and parametric design skills, no previous experience is needed. A group of specialist computation tutors will conduct an initial skills workshop and continue to assist throughout the workshop to develop the individual projects of the participants.
Digital FabricationA series of physical models will be built using digital fabrication techniques that will be taught during the workshop, no previous experience is needed.
