Catalyst City
Space Architecture related design studio focusing on Growth. The premise of the approach is that rather than sending a constructed architecture to space, we send tiny robotic modules that are capable of reproducing through automated fabrication techniques using in-situ materials. When enough of the architecture of the colony has constructed itself- we send humans to inhabit it. Living Labs Workshop
Michael will be giving a workshop in Taiwan at NCKU in October - Should be great. International Conference on Interaction and Design
This should be a great conference at Tshighua University in Beijing also in October Archibots: Intelligent and Adaptable Built Environments
This is another interesting workshop in September which is sort of tied to UbiComp and sponsored by the NSF - the Abstracts look super interesting. ACADIA 2009 ReForm in Chicago
Michael is presenting the work of the Flockwall below CAADRIA: In Taiwan: Between Man and Machine: Integration / Intuition / Intelligence
Michael is presented the work of the Lunar colony Studio below. Base for the Space Elevator
Space Architecture related design studio focusing on Biomimetics with some expert collaborators from Boeing, NASA JPL and Computer and Electrical Engineering - A super interesting project which "may eventually prove to be one of the paradigm shifts in space exploration and colonization, and commercialization of space." - A. Scott Howe - JPL (Cal Poly) FlockWall (UPDATED: at Coachella)
Check out the great images at Coachella Festival - 200,000 prople there for 3 great days! - Design and construction of a full-scale interactive assembly of flocking objects - Should be a good experiment in distributed intelligence (Cal Poly)
IA Workshop (Biomimetics and Interaction Design)
Another Workshop in Hong Kong in Interction Design which should produce some great robotic prototypes (HKPU) Viral Structures (Cal Poly)
Viral Structures: Final Boards
Design of a Large Scale Lunar Colony with Modular Robotics. Great course in progress with Collaborators from NASA and Boeing IA Workshop @ NCTU - GIA
Michael gave a one week workshop in Taiwan in November at NCTU. Great short hand's on workshop.
Embedded Interaction Workshop
Another month long workshop in Hong Kong on Interactive Architecture. Some great new prototype robotic applications. (HOng Kong)
Ex-Com Couch Fnally some new photos in New Orleans at DesCours: the 8 day visual arts and architecture event - MORE : DesCours Information Green Kit Prototypes
Sponsored by EPA. Robotic Window System. click on link for full-scale prototypes - This won a couple of awards.
IA Interactive Architecture book due out soon!...more info to come
Check out this teaser
ES home
The “ES home” wireless home energy monitor. (A Foxlin project)
*b*u*b*b*l*e*s*
A new open-air interactive installation at Materials & Applications center for architecture and landscape research
iZoo
Nice class_ Crazy exhibit - Based on Architecture teaching humans how to behave (Sci_Arc)
iSpa
AMAZING! Understand that everyting is moving and reacting! (Art Center)
"Foxy" Interactive Restaurant
As this is really an incredible project that was exhibited at the JACC in downtown LA - Watch the Movie (Art Center)
Systems Sight and Sound( Link fixed!!! some of the best prototype models ever)
A Great course in Hong Kong taught with Yasu Santo and Catherine Hu. (Hong Kong PolyU)
Eco-Robotics
Some great projects- and some just ok - but great thinking in terms of interactivity (Cal Poly)
End of Mechanics (Cal Poly)
End of Mechanics
Nice course looking at applying innovative materials to an interactive architectural environment
Co-Ex Plane
Another Great course in Hong Kong taught with Yasu Santo and Catherine Hu (Hong Kong PolyU)
IKS
Course taught at MIT. In these days we had to use LEGOS for the robotics! Pretty good Prototype models and good Inverse Kinematic Models (MIT)
Kinetics and CAD-CAM
A bit of a headache of a class - A good lesson in dealing with the realities of doing a public project in downtown LA! Some nice projects though - especially the cnc waterfall (SCI-ARC) |
