title	Uma Arqueologia de Diagramas Cibernéticos [An Archaeology of Cybernetic Diagrams]
source	SIGraDi 2013 [Proceedings of the 17th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-7051-86-1] Chile - Valparaíso 20 - 22 November 2013, pp. 353 - 356
summary	This paper investigates the use of explicit structures of information in architectural design. Particularly, it approaches the use of diagrams related to cybernetics and information theory in experimental practices in the 1960’s and 1970’s. It analyses the diagram of cybernetic control proposed by the cybernetician Gordon Pask for the Fun Palace, the diagrams produced by the utopian architect Yona Friedman in the conceptual description of the Flatwriter program and Christopher Alexander’s diagrams and his theories of Synthesis of Form and Pattern Language. Finally it establishes a brief parallel between current domestication and use of dataflow programming with the cybernetic diagrams, highlighting differences in their complexity approach.

title	Qualitative Study on two Kinetic System Simulations - Experiments Based on Shape Memory Material and Stepper Motors
source	Odysseas Kontovourkis (ed.), Sustainable Computational Workflows [6th eCAADe Regional International Workshop Proceedings / ISBN 9789491207143], Department of Architecture, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus, 24-25 May 2018, pp. 95-102
keywords	This investigation intends to compare two computational design experiments operating on two kinetic architecture (Zuk and Clark 1970) design application domains: Shape-memory material (SMM) activated grids and stepper-actuated (SA) responsive skins. In the first one, the goal was to build a standard way of simulating SMM, which can be used as actuators in the construction of kinetic structures and in the second, to simulate and construct a responsive skin according to human interaction using kinect and stepper motors. In both experiments, a similar generative workflow was employed, combining insights from materials and mechanical systems. The objective is to investigate kinetic performance, kinetic design methodology, simulation implementation and applications within the two separate design domains. The general hypothesis is that both experiments become design workflows in themselves as real-time, dynamic modeling systems. A qualitatively study of both sets of cases, is taking in count general, simulation and application aspects, using evaluation criteria including workflow, material quantity, data capture and mechanical properties.
