Arduino for the SLSv1 project

This prototyping experiment takes inspiration from a previous project called SLSv1 that was developed between 2006 and 2007. At the time the project was designed there was a critical issue, related with the movement of a structure, that was not solved for lack of experience with Arduino. The structure in picture 1 represents the Seasonal [...]

[Andrea Di Renzo, Jacopo Brunelli, Andrea Balloni, Umberto Tedeschini]
Il progetto prende le mosse dallo studio dei sinuosi profili collinari, cosí forti ed importanti nella quinta della pista ciclabile, tanto lineare ed orizzontale. Idea che si é materializzata nel rapporto simbiotico fra attenzione bontanica e comfort antropico.

Arduino: First approach

In the last years I have got in touch with many people enthusiast of a small integrated micro-controller called Arduino. For those of you that never heard about it, Arduino is an assembled electronic board centered around the ATmega328 (a programmable micro-controller with 32KB of flash Memory). The Arduino board is an Italian open source [...]

Ecoscarification / Europan 9 / Siracusa (IT)

Rediscovering Siracusa’s sea front should mean something beyond a territorial expansion. The scars left by human and natural events help us read the history of the territory. This process can be intensified to organize people’s activities, natural elements and energetic points. The creation of a parametric tool helps in identifying hotspots that are later organized [...]

Urban Circus Lacunae / 2g competition

The Urban and Geological environment of the Venice Lagoon is probably one of the most densely layered places on the Mediterranean coast: a history of ever changing states of material and social stability, natural forces opposition, organic development and continental tectonic processes. A water-land territory marked by the sign of nature’s convulsions, conquers, domination and [...]

Woolwich Squares @CHORA

CONTEXT
The overarching vision is to connect the separate and fragmented parts of the site into a coherent spatial composition with the potential to extend outside the site boundaries towards the Arsenal and River Thames beyond. As such the project becomes part of a wider regeneration strategy and pedestrian network of interlinked public open space. The [...]
