PERFORMATIVE ARCHITECTURE- UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE

This project consisted of an inflatable structure wrapped in a swarm of flocking creatures. Visitors could move around the inflated volume or enter it, provoking the installation to express an “emotional” response through lighting, sound and the movement of its texture. The resulting experience proved popular, especially with children who…

Ideas

“The most significant recent development in the field of architecture is the realization that software processes aren’t simply tools designed by software developers – they can become the very material from which designs are made.”

Ideas The most capital-intensive objects humanity builds know almost nothing about how they are being used. Real-Time Architecture is a paradigm shift in how buildings are conceived, designed, and operated – from static objects designed for a predicted future, to intelligent adaptive systems that respond to the measured present. Frameworks…

Real-time Built environment

Autonomous robots and smart devices are increasingly incorporated within our buildings. Whether self or user-driven systems, the design of the built environment is increasingly integrating data feedback loops, electronics, and networks that enable architectural spaces and components to transform in order to provide better spatial and environmental qualities. The study of building automation and reconfigurable spaces is a field in architecture called ‘adaptive architecture’. ‘Robotic buildings’ is an emergent research area under adaptive architecture that would allow new possibilities to animate spaces using the modern accessible hardware and software. This trend has gained momentum during the last decade due to the recent reduction of hardware cost and the accessibility to high and real-time computational power.
