Title: Nstrmnt
Category: #roboticarchitecture #computationalarchitecture #digitalfabrication
Author: Brian Harms
Year: 2012
Url: http://www.nstrmnt.com/projects/
Description : NSTRMNT is a multi-faceted design initiative, founded by Brian Harms in 2012, which aims to investigate, cultivate and improve the ever-changing relationship between machines/hardware/software and processes of design and fabrication.
Title: Thermaespheres
Category: #roboticarchitecture #responsiveenvironments
Author: Jason Kelly Johnson and Nataly Gattegno. Future Cities Lab
Year: 2011

Description: The Thermaespheres project exhibited by Jason Kelly Johnson and Nataly Gattegno (Future Cities Lab, San Francisco) is a proposal for a public thermal bath and event pavilion facing the sea. For the exhibition a series of intricate process models are presented on illuminated tables alongside suspended light-boxes containing drawings and installation images. The models, many of which contain thousands of small components, are hand-sewn and notched together into complex geometric assemblages. The Thermaespheres project contains three distinct microclimates – the “caldarium” (hot), the “tepidarium” (warm) and the “frigidarium” (cold). These three intersecting domed spaces are surrounded by a light-weight shade canopy that serves as an urban threshold, public promenade and solar energy generator.
Actuated Tensegrity Structures:-D
A few years ago I had a look at tensegrity structures and their possible uses in sustainable design. This building technology is still in its infancy but has rapidly become more sophisticated in the past couple of years and I think we're going to see some amazing stuff from it soon. It's based on the compressive and tensile amino acids found in spider webs that give it incredible strength and flexibility. Throw in some computers that control its shape and rigidity and you've got the potential to create buildings that can increase or decrease internal spaces and even shake snow off their roofs - awesome!
ORAMBRA in the U.S. are probably at the forefront of ACT design right now. Think I'll post some more of their stuff soon.

Title: Grace State Machines

Description: Robot performance Aluminium, air piston, valves, micro controlers, network switche, motion capture system, max/msp, air compressor, alogene light bulb, midi dimmer. Grace State Machines is a Robotic Art performance project. The name of the project is inspired by a virtual "state of grace" that could be expressed by automatons and other finite state machines. Through this project, we want to explore the close relationship between the real physical human body and machine body. We want to express the inner perceptions of both entities and how they intertwine, blend, mingle and become blurred as they interact and exchange in an intimate dialog between the organic and the artefact
"Rather than sending a constructed architecture to space, we send tiny robotic modules that are capable of reproducing themselves using in-situ materials. When enoughof the architecture of the colony has constructed itself- we send humans to inhabit it"
