			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Seule commune insulaire du Grand Paris, l’Ile Saint-Denis compte aujourd’hui une population de soixante douze mille habitants.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-592"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">L&#8217;île s&#8217;étend sur huit kilomètres de long et deux cent mètres de large, néanmoins soixante dix sept hectares du territoire de l’île sont des terres submergées, soit plus de quarante pour cent de la commune.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Résultants d’une importante activité industrielle passée, les espaces résiduels, terrains vagues, sols et eaux sont fortement pollués.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ecosystèmes Modulables est construit comme une hyper-structure paysagère. Stratégiquement identifiable, elle est planifiée pour sauvegarder divers processus appartenant au paysage naturel-biologique et artificiel local.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Le projet fonctionne comme un instrument efficace de croissance remédiant l’urbanisation informelle et irrégulière, contexte de la banlieue parisienne. Etienne Gozard spécule et vise à planifier en projetant des scénarios plausibles, en anticipant sur l’échelle, le contexte et la configuration des futurs patrons morphologiques urbains.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ecosystèmes Modulables est une stratégie d’aménagement du sol capable d’exploiter la surface réduite de l’Ile Saint Denis tout en préservant de manière efficace les écosystèmes locaux (flore et faune) et en mettant au service de la population les cycles naturels de l’ile.</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><a href="http://www.case.rpi.edu/">CASE</a>’s receptors can be fitted  to existing buildings or built into new designs. The concentrating  solar cells are strung on wires with tracking mechanisms that turn the  receptors in the direction of the <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2010/01/25/wal-mart-unveils-massive-solar-array-in-california/">sun</a> throughout the day.</p>
<p><span id="more-552"></span>Since they are made from glass they are transparent  and allow light to pass through windows, which makes them perfect for  adding solar power to building facades while maximizing available  daylight.</p>
<p>The glass pyramid shape actually serves to magnify light  and increase the natural lighting inside a building while decreasing  the need for <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2010/01/11/ikea-unveils-new-line-of-solar-powered-lighting/">artificial  light</a>. The design is also meant to capture <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/12/02/cathedral-data-center-uses-thermal-energy-to-heat-500-homes/">thermal  energy</a> trapped inside the glass pyramids that is not converted into  electricity to be used for heating and cooling systems.</p>
<p>The  receptors aren’t commercially available just yet, but a manufacturer has  been lined up and the hope is to bring these cells to market as soon as  the manufacturing process is finalized. The estimated cost return is  less than two and a half years in a sunny place like <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/la/">Los Angeles</a> and less than a  decade in a foggy place like <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/sf/">San  Francisco</a>.</p>

<div><a href="http://www.papress.com/html/book.details.page.tpl?isbn=9781568987903">From the publisher</a><br />
Architectural pioneers such as <a href="http://www.gehrytechnologies.com/">Frank Gehry</a> and <a href="http://www.glform.com/">Greg Lynn</a> introduced the world to the extreme forms made possible by digital fabrication. It is now possible to transfer designs made on a computer to computer-controlled machinery that creates actual building components. This &#8220;file to factory&#8221; process not only enables architects to realize projects featuring complex or double-curved geometries, but also liberates architects from a dependence on off-the-shelf building components, enabling projects of previously unimaginable complexity.<br />
Digital Fabrications, the second volume in our new <a href="http://www.papress.com/html/book.list.page.tpl?cart=124732342161558&amp;action=seriessearch&amp;__searchfield=Architecture%20Briefs">Architecture Briefs series</a>, celebrates the design ingenuity made possible by digital fabrication techniques. Author Lisa Iwamoto explores the methods architects use to calibrate digital designs with physical forms.<br />
The book is organized according to five types of digital fabrication techniques: tessellating, sectioning, folding, contouring, and forming. Projects are shown both in their finished forms and in working drawings, templates, and prototypes, allowing the reader to watch the process of each fantastic construction unfold.<br />
Digital Fabrications presents projects designed and built by emerging practices that pioneer techniques and experiment with fabrication processes on a small scale with a do-it-yourself attitude.
