This module gives students the opportunity to construct an interactive design piece. Students are introduced to a range of sensors and actuators and given studio instruction in the programming of adaptive control systems. The module acts as a chance to make a physical implementation that engages the relationship of architecture to the environment – both physical and social – as informed by the theories of cybernetics and kinetic architecture. The focus is on how each piece may communicate between objects, people and other automata. As a range of structural components employed, it may include anything from an electronically controlled motor to a projected visual and aural artwork.
Term: 2
Assessment: Physical piece with video documentation
