Development of an Integrated System
Capable of Optimizing Light in a Circumscribed Space |
| |
The
design of irregular dome-like pavilion spaces circumscribed
by curved surfaces, but the envisioned process might
be applied to other functional, formal, and spatial
typologies. The design of the pavilion starts with the
generation of a surface, later tessellated into a matrix
of skylights depending on the geographic location and
sun orientation. In the constructed pavilion, the skylights
react to the variation of daylight intensity during
the day to satisfy specified internal lighting needs.
Simultaneously, the integration of conception and fabrication
using digital tools (CAD-CAM) facilitates the construction
of a non-standard, parametric geometry, thereby diminishing
the costs of production and allowing for personalization,
while assuring global sustainability. more... |

Virtual
Space Design: A Flexible Learning Model: Respecting
Fragile Places in Virtual and Physical Realities |
| |
The
persistence of difficulties related to communication
of the stakeholders in the architectural and urban design
process is mainly due to the diversity of interests,
representation problems and the abilities of visual
communication. The research presented has been focused
especially on the first issue - professional vs. general
or non-expert public relations. It builds on the idea
that general public should be approached with both:
adaptation to its abilities and with additional teaching
to improve these abilities. The initial questions lead
to the isolation of (i) elements and (ii) characteristics
that could possibly define architectural educational
interfaces for general public. The experiment puts the
prototypical eco-spatial interface to the test in primary
schools and observes the effect the level of interactivity
has on learning outcomes. The results show possible
ways of enhancing the efficiency of GUI-s and help developers
and designers evaluate and fine-tune such tools for
the process of general architectural learning. more... |

Introducing
digital fabrication into the architectural curriculum |
| |
Two
similar experiences in the setting up of digital fabrication
laboratories in architectural schools and the introduction
of such techniques in the schools curriculum, with the
aim of answering the following questions: how long –
and how much – does it take to incorporate these new
technologies in a traditional architectural course?

Real
Virtualities - Architecture 2.0 |
|
The
Institute of Architecture and Design, TU Vienna has
bought a virtual island in Second Life (SL) in order
to use it in a design course. The goal was to introduce
students to new ways in which computers in a web based
network like SL can be used to generate designs by using
end user scripting within a virtual 3D environment.
After a short introduction into the basics of SL and
to the rules and conditions of multi-user virtual environments
(MUVE’s) the students worked within that kind of spatial
software as a place and as hyper media. more... |
