			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span id="more-795"></span>Giovedì 2 dicembre<br />
9.00-9.30<br />
Il tema del Workshop e le dinamiche del suo svolgimento saranno introdotte dal prof. Arturo<br />
Vittori. Durante la presentazione verrà illustrato, inoltre, l’itinerario didattico che sarà seguito<br />
nell’arco delle 3 giornate in programma.<br />
9.30-10.00<br />
Dario Donato, architectural engineer at SpatialConnection(s), introdurrà agli studenti<br />
partecipanti la modellazione algoritmica parametrica con Grasshopper.<br />
10.00-18.00 (pausa pranzo dalle 13.30 alle 15.00)<br />
Gli studenti selezionati verranno suddivisi in 5 gruppi di 4 componenti, a ciascuno dei quali<br />
verrà af&#8221;dato uno speci&#8221;co tema da sviluppare inerente alle linee guida del progetto.<br />
Grazie alla tecnica del BrainStorming i partecipanti faranno emergere le loro idee per<br />
rispondere alla questione principale posta come tema. Al termine di questa fase (considerata la<br />
più produttiva delle tre giornate), si passerà all’ideazione vera e propria del progetto.<br />
I partecipanti seguiranno l’iter progettuale aiutati da strumenti d’avanguardia, utilizzando la<br />
modellazione con Grasshopper e supportati dai collaboratori , che saranno costantemente a<br />
disposizione in tutte le fasi del workshop.<br />
Venerdì 3 dicembre<br />
9.00-13.30<br />
In questa prima parte della giornata i partecipanti si dedicheranno allo studio e alla scelta delle<br />
proprietà interattive che desidereranno apportare al progetto.<br />
La fase successiva vedrà gli studenti impegnati nella programmazione della parte elettronica e<br />
nel successivo utilizzo della piattaforma Arduino. Questa sarà a tutti gli effetti il “cuore<br />
interattivo” del progetto stesso, ovvero la parte che permetterà di rispondere a tutte quelle<br />
esigenze e a tutti quegli obiettivi pre&#8221;ssati durante la fase progettuale.<br />
15.00-18.00<br />
Finita la fase progettuale, nel prosieguo del pomeriggio gli studenti potranno iniziare la fase di<br />
prototipazione.<br />
Saranno messi a disposizione tutti gli strumenti e i materiali idonei alla realizzazione del<br />
progetto vero e proprio in tutte le sue componenti. Si procederà, quindi, con la scelta dei<br />
materiali da utilizzare, il successivo il taglio degli stessi a seguire con una prima fase di<br />
assemblaggio.<br />
Sabato 4 dicembre<br />
9.00-13.30<br />
L’intera mattinata sarà dedicata alla fase di assemblaggio &#8220;nale di tutte le parti del progetto.<br />
Potendo, dunque, usufruire del prototipo ormai terminato, i partecipanti avranno il tempo di<br />
veri&#8221;care il corretto funzionamento di ciascuna delle parti elettroniche e di apportare, qualora<br />
fosse ritenuto necessario, le ultime modi&#8221;che in vista dell’esposizione &#8220;nale.<br />
15.00-18.00<br />
Alcuni partecipanti avranno il compito di proseguire nella veri&#8221;ca &#8220;nale che il progetto si<br />
dimostri conforme a quelle che sono state le premesse alla base del workshop e che inoltre<br />
risponda correttamente a tutti i requisiti richiesti.<br />
La restante parte degli studenti si occuperà della preparazione della presentazione del progetto<br />
e del successivo allestimento della mostra che si svolgerà in serata.<br />
18.00-21.00<br />
Presentazione &#8220;nale e mostra del lavoro svolto dagli studenti durante il Workshop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’ve played with Grasshopper then you know how much fun it can  be to throw the sliders back and forth and watch your geometry change.</p>
<p><span id="more-565"></span>What if you wanted to get analysis data for everyone of those  iterations?  Parametric modeling eases the task of generating multiple  iterations, but it can be a bit laborious to feed everyone of those  iterations to a simulation analysis software.  Instead of stepping  through the same set of steps for each iteration its helpful to shorten  or automate the process required to achieve feedback.</p>
<p>This is one of our first explorations into creating connections  between Grasshopper and other simulation analysis software, specifically  the structural analysis software ANSYS.  This connection is being  created through the use of four vb script components which are  responsible for writing the ANSYS macro, exporting IGES files, creating  the ANSYS input file, and retrieving the ANSYS output file.</p>
<p>Once the ON button is set, it takes about 5 seconds for the analysis  results to appear in Grasshopper.  The output file contains results for  each analysis that was specified within the ANSYS macro.  In the  following example of a space frame structure, the element axial stresses  and the node displacements were analyzed and the results were then used  to color the Grasshopper geometry as well as displace the nodes.   It  is then possible to take advantage of the rendering tools within Rhino  to create more compelling graphics than the ANSYS vector graphics.   Another, more powerful possibility is to use the ANSYS results to begin  to size members in response analysis results such as the diameter of a  pipe.  In the below image, members experiencing compression forces are  blue and tension forces are red.  The diameter of the pipe also  increases in response to the intensity of forces.</p>

<p><span id="more-562"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.co-de-it.com/info">Alessio Erioli</a>, <a href="http://www.co-de-it.com/info">Andrea Graziano</a>, <a href="http://www.co-de-it.com/info">Davide Del Giudice</a></p>
<p>Roma – 41°51′42.00″N 12°28′52.43″E</p>
<p>07.06-11.06.2010</p>
<p>.</p>
<p><strong>Conditional Proliferations</strong></p>
<p><strong>Grasshopper workshop Level I – parametric &amp; generative   design _ Co-de-iT _ Roma _</strong> 07-11 giugno 2010</p>
<p><strong>[.] Descrizione</strong></p>
<p>La proliferazione è una modalità di occupazione dello spazio. In  dipendenza dal proprio modo di interazione ambientale, gli edifici  possono essere distrubuiti e/o aggregati in modalità appropriate in modo  da accumulare o disperdere gli effetti della loro interazione e il  proprio impatto sull’evoluzione delle relazioni future. A livelli più  bassi si può, ad esempio, considerare la distribuzione di componenti o  caratteristiche lungo un involucro.<br />
Approcci basati su unità funzionali operano una proliferazione basata  sulla ripetizione indifferenziata e insensibile all’ambiente, risultando  in una discretizzazione di matrice convenzionale e nella separazione  tra edifici, edifici e contesto o spazi interni ed esterni; un diverso  tipo di approccio, basato sulla condizione (termine usato nella sua  doppia accezione di indicatore dinamico della tendenza di sviluppo  dell’ecosistema e in quella causale – if a then b), introduce una forma  di proliferazione che sfida e scioglie la dicotomia artificiale: molte  piante crescono ovunque le condizioni portino ad esse beneficio, senza  riguardo per limiti codificati nello spazio in cui si sviluppano. Le  implicazioni sulla negoziazione dello spazio e sulla definizione di  soglia sono notevoli; il sistema produce un campo armonicamente  articolato e differenziato di fenotipi a partire dal genotipo attraverso  un processo di “estetica delle forze” guidata attraverso lo strumento  digitale.<br />
A livello urbano questo può tradursi nella proliferazione di  infrastrutture o di spazi che mettono in discussione la concezione  statica di “confine” e “unità” in favore di modelli in grado di generare  una gamma più estesa di inflessioni tra livelli di complessità e  indirizzarli per abilitare e rendere accessibili potenzialità d’uso a  loro volta articolate e complesse.<br />
Il tema sarà dipanato attraverso le giornate del workshop sviluppando  aspetti teorici e tecnici dell’approccio parametrico generativo, con  particolare attenzione a strategie di design urbano basate su  caratteristiche endogene (vincoli interni del sistema) ed esogene  (fattori ambientali) allo scopo di stimolare l’esplorazione di soluzioni  sistemiche innovative.</p>
<p>Il numero dei partecipanti è stabilito tra le 15 e le 20 persone per  offrire un tutoraggio proficuo ed una effettiva esperienza di learning  ad ogni iscritto.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the main principles of permaculture is that “the problem is the solution.” Problem: tons of waste cups created by attendees of the <a title="OutsideLands" href="http://www.sfoutsidelands.com/" target="_blank">OutsideLands</a> concert in San Francisco. Solution: a fabulous recycled cup canopy. <a title="BIOS" href="http://biosarch.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">BIOS Design Collective</a> tapped a keg and invited their friends over for a canopy party, building a gorgeous wave of concave color at <a title="STABLE CAFE" href="http://www.stablecafe.com/" target="_blank">Stable Cafe</a> just in time for<a title="arch + city" href="http://www.aiasf.org/Programs/Public_Programs/Architecture_and_the_City.htm" target="_blank"> Architecture and the City</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://www.spatialconnections.eu/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/construction-of-reUse-canopy.jpg" alt="" width="537" height="402" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">They started by stringing steel cable mesh above the Stable Cafe patio in equidistant lines. Designer <a title="Chris Chalmers" href="http://biosarch.wordpress.com/contact/" target="_blank">Chris Chalmers</a> created the layout for the cables using a definition created by <a title="grasshopper" href="http://www.grasshopper3d.com/" target="_blank">Grasshopper</a>, a graphical algorithm editor. Laminated cards depicting sections of the canopy helped volunteers to place their multi-colored cups in an artistic– and precisely algorithmic– fashion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://www.spatialconnections.eu/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/reUse-canopy-by-BIOS-3.jpg" alt="" width="537" height="402" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the keg drained, revelers clipped the cups onto the cables with special, laser-cut plastic clips. We wonder what the next BIOS installation will be– plastic clip jewelry? Regardless, the resulting canopy was stunning in its form and precision. <a title="Canopy on BIOS blog" href="http://biosarch.wordpress.com/2009/09/13/aiasf-parametric-canopy/" target="_blank">The BIOS blog boasts</a> that the keg for the party cost more than the materials to create the canopy. We’ll drink to that.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Radiolaria represents a micro-architecture experiment developed by Andrea Morgante of <a href="http://www.shiro-studio.com/">Shiro Studio</a> in association with <a href="http://www.d-shape.com/index.htm">d-Shape</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 2008 d-Shape successfully developed the very first 3D mega printer that allows seamless and free-form construction of monolithic structures on a large scale.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Radiolaria pavilion aimed to define a complex, self-supporting structure that could demonstrate and test this pioneering construction technique. Measuring 3×3×3 meters, the structure represents a scale model of the final pavilion, due to be built in 2010; this pavilion will be 10 meters high and will be built in Pontedera, Italy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Genr8 is a surface design tool developed by Martin Hemberg with advisory services provided by Una-May O&#8217;Reilly and Peter Testa. The concepts and tool are part of the work by the Emergent Design Group at MIT. The goal was to provide architects with access to creative surface design by giving them influence over generative processes. A generative process is the activity of iteratively executing some encoding that creates and then modifies an artifact. In the generative process we chose, what was most intriguing and of use to architects is a model of cellular growth interacting with an environment&#8221;.</p>

<p>Download: click <a href="http://projects.csail.mit.edu/emergentDesign/genr8/index.html#download">here</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since 2003, Genr8 has been used in the graduate course of <a href="http://www.aaschool.ac.uk/Default.aspx?section=school&amp;page=emtech%20MSc/March">Emergent Design and Technologies</a> at the <a href="http://www.aaschool.ac.uk/">Architectural Association</a> in London. Some of the projects are presented at the website under EmTech_Work-&gt;Core_Studio-&gt;Form_Generation. There is also an online exhibition of the work by the students from 2002-2003 where some of the designs are made with the aid of Genr8. Short <a href="http://projects.csail.mit.edu/emergentDesign/genr8/AA/EmTech2004/index.html">presentations</a> of the EmTech student projects from 2004.<br />
Genr8 has also been used at the <a href="http://www.sciarc.edu/">Southern California Insitute of Architecture</a> and some of the expriments are presented in <a href="http://www.archinect.com/schoolblog/entry.php?id=14594_0_39_0_C109">Steve Fuchs&#8217; blog</a></p>
