Pedro Urano’s meditation on architecture and the human conditions is first and foremost a cinematic portrait of the University Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, a structure that uniquely embodies modernism’s utopic project and its ruin. Urano’s camera alternates between fluidity and stasis, juxtaposing tableaus of decay with the daily activity of a working hospital.Dec07// Master degree at Politecnico di Torino with a computational design thesis TMD_tsunami memorial design competition, network as design tool::: prof.Roberto Apostolo, prof.Mario Grosso, Arch.Andrea Graziano Jan08// Join at studioGriffa, Turin as project architect Feb08// at DRL TEN exhibition, Architectural Association, London with K_pavilion project ::: visiting Zaha Hadid Architects London, attends co|de lecture: Shajay Booshan, Danilo Arsic

This definition subdivides a surface into a quadrangular panels, plots a circle or a closed spline(similar to an ellipse) with center in the centroid of each panels, scale the radius dimension trough a numeric values extrapolated from the curvature analisys of the input surface. The complex structure of radiolaria was treated as a two-dimensional representation with a hexagonal pattern. Two points control the deformation of individual cells that make structure through a transformation of vectors connecting the vertices of the single cell with the point. The deformation of the grid can be caused by an attraction or a repulsion generated by attractor points. Investigation on the potentiality of numerical field generated by a source image.

This project is a renovation of an old monumental building, we apply the new generation process, new material and manufacture method, new structure and construction logic to transfer the old building to a fire new thing with also new functions. In this project, our essential design emphasis focuses on organization of overall rule and open system, rather than on each segments of this project. With computational technique, we integrate and transfer different aspects of the project as a circulatory system to find an optimum result. At the end, the specific and unique functionality, spatial quality and experience emerge by itself. Continue reading
Fibre Composite Adaptive Systems - eVolo | Architecture Magazine
Designed by Maria Mingallon , Sakthivel Ramaswamy, Konstantinos Karatzas Fibre composite adaptive systems is a research project which emulates self-organisation processes in nature by developing a fibre composite that can sense, actuate and hence efficiently adapt to changing environmental conditions. Fibre composites which are anisotropic and heterogeneous offer the possibility for local variations in their material properties. Embedded fibre optics would be used to sense multiple parameters and shape memory alloys integrated in a fibre composite material for actuation.
The coffee table "Sectionimal" was created in 2009 by the Chilean parametric design and digital studio gt_2P . Its design was created from digital modeling with parametric generative algorithms capable of section volumes. The Sectioninal's structure has a free volume sectioned and assembled from its manufacturing plans. This table is part of a series of parametric furniture generated by an algorithmic program of links called SECTION, designed also by the own studio gt_2P. Its materials are Mdf laquered plywood, italian lacquer gloss 20, Pvc foamed (Litecell HD), corian and tempered glass cover 10 mm. Dimensions, x: 76cm, y: 180cm, z: 35cm

The Homeostatic Façade System by Decker Yeadon Architects. The Homeostatic Façade is a building thermal control system that uses mechanical-muscle operated, exterior surface-mounted louvers and is a feature of Decker Yeadon Architects' intelligent green-building architectural design. The Homeostatic Façade uses polymer and elastomer louvers with a silver coating that open when illuminated by the sun, and close again as the sun’s heating effect wanes. The dielectric silver-elastomer forms an actuator that responds to an electric charge on the silver surface proportional to the amount of incident sunlight.

Almost daily Materia is asked: what are sustainable materials? Where do I get sustainable materials? There is not a clear answer, though. What is sustainable depends, for instance, on ones opinion: can technology play its role as long as it is kept separate from natural cycles, or should mankind find sustainable answers in nature only?
