title	Desafiando a Gravidade: da estática ? dinâmica, de objetos a sistemas []
source	SIGraDi 2016 [Proceedings of the 20th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-7051-86-1] Argentina, Buenos Aires 9 - 11 November 2016, pp.704-709
summary	In the cold space of information objects drift in the void. All is abandoned in junk space or fiercely organized. The difference between an object as a form and formations - or interacting populations of elements in an environment - is still disregarded. In Cartesian space objects are preconceived by an external observer, in static and timeless space. In parametric space Euclidian geometries persist as preconfigured objects. The flux of information between physical and digital realities is still archaic: is done with effort, demanding physical strength and time. There is low interaction between physical and digital realities. Seems like a dystopian reality in a past?future. The theory of relativity asserts that space and time are interdependent, being modified and modifying us. In organic and synthetic biology, form results from the dynamic interaction of elements. This Research argues that form and environment are interdependent in physical and digital dimensions. A two-part applied research method is proposed: preliminary research and further development via workshop. Preliminary research identified the knowledge areas involved, defined problem search space and tested methods and techniques to solve it. The successfully developed design methodology - combining the preliminary research and workshop - can be used to solve future design problems.

title	O desenvolvimento de um sistema de proteç?o de fachadas cinéticos: um protótipo responsivo ao comportamento do usuário [Developing a kinect façade protection system: a prototype responsive to the user behaviour]
source	SIGraDi 2016 [Proceedings of the 20th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-7051-86-1] Argentina, Buenos Aires 9 - 11 November 2016, pp.550-555
summary	This article presents the new results of a work originally prepared by undergraduate students of the Federal University of Pernambuco that developed a functional physical prototype of a responsive façade. At first, the system only changed itself accordingly to the modifications of the environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity and luminosity. In this new research stage, a simplified version of the façade was developed to make the system responsive to the behaviour of those who are using the indoor spaces of buildings. The physical prototype was built with LEDs that represent the actuators responsible for modifying the position of the responsive façade parts, and the Kinect’s motion sensor was used to capture the human behaviour. The prototype here presented was developed with simple, easy to acquire materials, making it an element that can be easily reproduced and employed as an educational tool of automation applied to architecture.

title	Reality is interface: Two motion capture case studies of human–machine collaboration in high-skill domains
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 14 - no. 4, 398-408
summary	This article explores hybrid digital/physical workflows in the building trades, a high-skill domain where human dexterity and craft can be augmented by the precision and repeatability of digital design and fabrication tools. In particular, the article highlights two projects where historic construction techniques were extended through live motion capture of human gesture, information-rich visualization projected in the space of fabrication and custom robotic tooling to generate free-form running moulds. The first case study explores decorative plastering techniques and an augmented workflow where designers and craftspeople can quickly explore patterns through freehand sketch, test ideas with shaded previews and seamlessly produce physical parts using robotic collaborators. The second case study reimagines a roman vaulting technique that used terracotta bottles as part of an interlocking masonry system. Motion capture is used to place building elements precisely in material arrays with real-time visual feedback guiding the hand-held placement of each bottle. These case studies serve to underscore the emerging importance of reality capture in the design and construction of the built environment. Increasingly, the algorithmic power of computational tools and the nuances of human skill can be combined in hybrid design and fabrication workflows.

title	Project anywhere: An interface for virtual architecture
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 14 - no. 4, 386-397
summary	Virtual and augmented realities open a new world of great potential for spatial research and experimentation by allowing new forms of unbuilt sensible architectural space. This article starts with a sketch of the current context in virtual reality and continues by outlining the development and structure of the research ‘project Anywhere’. The project is an easily deployable, wireless, multi-user, augmented reality app system that offers full body immersion through body, head and hands tracking. It can host multiple concurrent users, able to move freely in the virtual space, by moving in the real and also perform actions through a gesture interface to affect their shared environment. In conclusion, we describe the inherent properties of such a space, which we propose as a novel spatio-temporal medium for architecture that suggests an enriched notion of space for exploration and experimentation, through an example of a potential application.
