title	Visualizing scientific theories through multimedia in Materials Science [Visualização de teorias científicas através de multimídia em Ciência dos Materiais]

summary	The production of an electronic book at the site www.cienciadosmateriais.org for high school teachers stimulated the reflection about the advantage of the transmission of the most important scientific theories (atomism and thermodynamics) using Materials Science (MS) as a course study and reaffirmed the power of animation and 3D graphical tools to improve the understanding and the spread of these theories. Supported in these reflections, the electronic book produced differentiates itself, in the way and the manner it was produced in relation to what has been presented on the Internet.

title	Soft Façade: Steps into the Definition of a Responsive ETFE Façade for High-rise Buildings
source	Predicting the Future [25th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-0-9541183-6-5] Frankfurt am Main (Germany) 26-29 September 2007, pp. 567-573

summary	Façade systems are to a great extent responsible for both the energy-performance and overall aesthetic qualities of a building. The study presented in this paper explores the tectonic integration of a distributed computer network and the façade of a high-rise tower through the use of ETFE cushions, exploiting the soft nature of this material to embed a sensor network to provide touch-responsive changes of opacity in the façade, potentially improving the energy-efficiency of a building, and promoting a novel kind of dialogue between a space and its inhabitants. We propose that the inclusion of computer networks and displays in the built environment necessarily leads to new design philosophies that solve tectonically the dialogue between traditional materials and technological devices, and we put forward the first results of a research into a novel implementation of electrochromic ‘smart’ cushions that allows for changing opacities of the façade elements of a building in response to human touch.

title	Materializing a Design with Plywood
source	Predicting the Future [25th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-0-9541183-6-5] Frankfurt am Main (Germany) 26-29 September 2007, pp. 629-636

summary	This paper is presentation of resulting physical models that were used to explore the relationship between design modeling in CAD and digital fabrication with plywood sheets. We explored a process in making tabletop models with digital fabrication machines and thin plywood sheets. Each was built from combination of predetermined wood joining techniques and structures. These models are believed work as simulation of full scale constructs that inform CAD modeling. Results illustrate the limited potential of parametric modeling and inform fabrication and assembly of design variations.
