Interactive Cells with Arduino

This project aims to analyze interactive design process based on kinetic facade system that interacts with human behavior simultaneously. Forthispurpose, this paper is split into three sections:

The theoretical framework, origin and key capabilities (sensitivity, smartness and responsiveness) . The interactive designis  described and a the relation between other generative systems is indicated in the first section.

The second section examines the design decisions, material selection and potentials, its relation with users, the movement technics and the fabrication and construction methods of designed kinetic modules. These kinetic textile modules are responsivefor their distance between users .They transform the form of modules and open the gap thanks to the movement of controlled robotic motors according to distance. Its operating process can be described briefly like this: the sensors perceive the participant when he gets closer and the servo motors become mobilized. Then the servo motors start to move, and transform the form of textile modules . When the participant gets back from stated distance,this system operates reversely and causingthegapstoclose. To mention about its design process briefly, it is achieved by integrating two main stages: In the firststage, the kinetic system is designed and translated the textile performance to the system in order to obtain various form ofgeneration sand openings by using parametric design tool; Grasshopper(software). In the second stage, thecontrolled movement is transformed to robotic motors simultaneously by using Arduino software and its robotictools (hardware).

In the final section, the application to other building components or spaces, the contribution to enhancement on user activities and new possibilities on human- computer relations are discussed. It might also be converted to a responsive system by adapting sun light as an alternative.

Processing

Processing is an open source programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) built for the electronic arts,new media art, and visual design communities with the purpose of teaching the fundamentals of computer programming in a visual context, and to serve as the foundation for electronic sketchbooks. The project was initiated in 2001 by Casey Reas and Benjamin Fry, both formerly of the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Lab. One of the stated aims of Processing is to act as a tool to get non-programmers started with programming, through the instant gratification of visual feedback. The language builds on the Java language, but uses a simplified syntax and graphics programming model.

Projectile Workshop

Projectile was an intractive video mapping workshop. I was a participant of this workshop. We mapped animations over the parametric 3D models. We used Rhino, Grasshopper, After Effects, Processing, MadMapper softwares together.
