“Activating Networks”
A segunda fase da série de workshops Supple Pavilion irá focar no desenvolvimento e fabricação 1:1 de uma série de pavilhões interativos e dispositivos relacionados a eles. Esses elementos reagirão a sensores, gerando variados efeitos espaciais de acordo com um loop entre comportamento sócio-ambiental e resposta em tempo real. Para responder a esses parâmetros, os projetos serão desenvolvidos usando modelagem paramétrica, Processing, Arduino e fabricação digital, através de CNC e Laser Cutter. Os participantes poderão desenvolver projetos novos e/ou trabalhar na evolução do Supple Pavilion projetado no Workshop 1.

Activating Networks:
The second stage of the Supple Pavilions workshop series will focus on the development and 1:1 fabrication of a network of interactive pavilions and related artifices. These elements will react to sensors, creating a range of different lighting and spatial effects that will trigger further movement and produce a feedback loop of behaviour and response. To accommodate this responsiveness, the design will be developed using parametric associative modeling, processing, arduino, and digital fabrication using the CNC and Laser Cutters. Students can both develop completely new designs, and/or work on the evolution of the Workshop 1 Supple Pavilion project.

AA Rio de Janeiro Design Workshop
5- 14 April 2011
Complementing the venues associated with Rio de Janeiro’s annual Carnival, 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, this workshop will explore alternative, informal and grass-roots sports and cultural programmes as a way of transforming precarious urban environments and communities and help guarantee a community legacy for these global events. The 10-day workshop will promote a design philosophy that mediates between global and local sensibilities, between formal and informal economies, and between high-tech and low-tech fabrication processes. In contrast to imported and pre-fabricated end-products, it will employ a hybrid methodology, using raw goods (matéria prima) and other found-objects (inspired by the work of artist Ernesto Neto and the Campana Brothers), yet evolving these projects with novel computational-design and fabrication techniques that emphasise the introduction of component-based logics.
