summary	This work was motivated by the relationship my family has with the radio apparatus. My grand mother, her brothers and sisters, they were the first generation exposed to the radio in Colombia and always have had numerous radios in their homes to avoid loneliness, to keep informed with the news and to listen to the music. Even today, every single room at their homes has a radio on with a different transmission; some of them are transportable or mobile. An interview with my grandmother was the starting point to recognize the 2 concepts that lead the project: mobility and sound experience.

title	Computational Design Research in Architecture: The Legacy of the Hochschule für Gestaltung, Ulm
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 12 - no. 1, 1-26
summary	The use of computational processes in architecture is a widespread practice which draws on a set of theories of computer science developed in the 60s and 70s. With the advent of computers, many of these methodologies were developed in research centres in the USA and the UK. Focussing on this period, this paper investigates the importance of the German Hochschule fur Gestaltung, Ulm (HfG) design school in the early stages of computation in design and architecture. Even though there were no computers in the school, it may be argued that its innovative pedagogy and distinguished faculty members launched analogical computational design methods that can be seen as the basis for further computational approaches in architecture. The paper draws on archive material, as well as at an original interview with Tomas Maldonado, to propose that the remarkable work pursued by Tomas Maldonado (the educational project), Max Bense (information aesthetics) and Horst Rittel (scientific methods) was fundamental in establishing HfG Ulm as the forerunner of computation in architecture.
