DRXYA

IMG_2550R

The DRXYA robot is calibrated to change its colour and position based on the actions of a user scanned with a Kinect sensor. The on-screen Processing visualisation relays the information (a series of commands and coordinates) via serial communication to the Arduino, which in turn activates the both the lighting sequence of the addressable neopixel LED strips and the movement of the stepper motors in X and Y directions. With the presence of a user within 1.5m from the facade, the colour of the central ring changes from a rainbow display to blue. When the user’s hand is raised, the colour of the inner ring changes to an animated purple sequence. During this phase, the user is able to control the position of the ring in X and Y through the translation of the Processing sketch’s Cartesian coordinates to that of the built facade. This vertical CNC device has many implication responsive facades, interior partion light systems, 3D mapping, and visual communications.

Sound Wave

imagen arduino

The concept was to play with the noise that the cities produce and reproduce the movement of the sound wave on the bulding facade.
The idea is to make the building dance according to the  “music” played by the city  focucing in the interaction between people, sound and visual.

PhytoSense – Interactive Green Facade

Main_2

The PhytoSense façade system is an interactive green facade that uses swept frequency capacitive sensing to play with light depending on touch.  An array of plants selected by their texture lets the user interact and be in “touch” with them by fading light to the plants being touched. But how does it work? How can the plant “feel” when it is being touched? As always, our friend Arduino gives us a hand.

Building Gestures

2_

The Facade has being concieved as a rigid surface with openings. Every period in history is represented by different typologies/configurations that can be recognised and categorised. Nowadays we live in an interactive world our buildings cannot stay rigid, they should be responsive to different environments.
