Dissipative Architectures
CITAstudio workshop
Led by Philip Beesley, this research workshop implemented emerging technologies for responsive architecture. These took the form of an installation that included LED lighting, infra-red sensors, acoustic and physical actuators and memory shape alloys.
It pursued three lines of exploration: the aggregation and distribution of kinetic mechanisms and assemblies into interactive networks; the clarification of new possibilities for acoustic response, which emerge from a temporal sampling of the environment; and the use of machine learning algorithms - specifically Curiosity Based Learning Algorithms - to allow for constantly evolving responses to the occupants exploring the environment.
