[RvsR]₂ - Sound Eliminator

2013-06-18T18:44:40.222Z

Reactive vs Responsive [RvsR]₂ explored the notions of adaptability and interactivity in architecture and aimed to expand beyond the use of the computer and digital fabrication, into robotics, electronics and physical computing platforms. The dyad reactive/responsive has been chosen as the theme for this workshop which aims to highlight the fine differences between the two terms. For the scope of the workshop, the property of Reactiveness is synonymous to impulsiveness and as such is lacking in processing as opposed to Responsiveness. The workshop strives to highlight intelligence in systems and pose the problem of multiple contradicting parameters in digital design. Grasshopper and plugin Firefly paired with Arduino programming language and computing platform were introduced to students as possible tools for experimentation. This video describes the project Sound Eliminator produced during the workshop.

Rotractable - [DvsI], 2nd Parametric Design and Digital Fabrication Workshop @ the Architecture Department [ARC], University of Nicosia

2012-09-30T07:44:21.247Z

Team: Nataly Papandreou, Constantinos Kounnis, Pantelis Panteli
Digital Tools: Grasshopper, DIVA

The team implemented a series of Parametric Design strategies aiming in reducing the overall energy consumption of a hypothetical building. Among others, the group examined form-finding methods based on self-shading and developed an opening mechanism, the ‘Rotrackable’ that allows sunlight during winter while providing shading and ventilation during summer. The team attempted to find an optimum balance between the amount of solar radiation measured on the façade of the building and the overhang of the roof. At the same time, the Sun Vector definition, adapted from Ted Ngai and developed by Andrew Heumann was implemented to define the rotation and angle of the ‘Rotracable’ in respect to the position of the Sun throughout the year. The incoming light levels in the building were subsequently measured to verify compliance with Lighting Standards. This last step has also defined the minimum number and size of the openings carrying the ‘Rotracable’ mechanism which could be completely automated (if paired with a sensor-actuator system) or work as a low-tech device (with a number of fixed positions, manually operated by the user).
