In this project, I try to get to the best light value and the best shadow lines in my stadium by opening and closing the panels. To reach this goal, I defined 3 conditions in my code to move the panels according to the light sensor values. Diagrams Parts & Components Code #include <Wire.h> #include … [Read more…]

Fish and coral have a symbiotic mutualistic relationship: two organisms of different species work together, with each benefiting from the relationship. The relationship of humans to the natural world is that of amensalism, where one is harmed while the other is unaffected. Therefore, we find that a symbiotic mutualistic relationship between humans and the natural … [Read more…]
The Floating partition is a wall constructed of fabric and struts. The idea developed itself in coordination with the tectonic system of a stadium project I’ve been developing. Interested in new ways and scales of implantation, I’ve taken this system out of the the context of a stadium to explore it further. In my … [Read more…]
The purpose of this investigation is to close the gap between prototyping in digital and physical space for tension based membrane structure. This is important because while more traditional structures can be accurately measured and models, fabric membranes suffer from a guessing game, where the designer is forced into trying to replicate what is seen … [Read more…]
Dean Ciofani Sean Mckensie PJ Niedzwicki The concept for our project is taking a measurable environmental variable, translating this variable, and altering the immediate environment. Currently the system is setup to measure the humidity of the room, and then translate this data to what is colloquially known as an “if then” statement. If the … [Read more…]
Circumvolve was the name for my studio project this semester. The basic concept was that the oculas that was created would circumvolve in relation to star constellations. Initial design of recreating the motion from my concept into a physical model consisted of using 4 stepper motors to control the forces on individual cables forming the … [Read more…]
Introduction This project found it’s inspiration from the crowds at a stadium representing their favorite team by wearing the color of their jersey. How could this be an active part in a stadium and how can this translate into architecture? The basic idea … [Read more…]
Developed for an Aquatic Center, Gridshell Gills would function as an operable system integrated with a gridshell membrane . Similar to how gills serve a fish, this passive system would allow the transfer of air to condition the spaces inside and potentially cut down on energy costs for a large facility. The design develops as a secondary system … [Read more…]
Concept The stadium has always been a place of spectacle. It’s function is purely to create a space that optimizes both the viewership of the spectacle and the amount of people. As society has arguably become more about spectacle through the abilities of technology, the stadium has become a monument too the idea of spectacle. The … [Read more…]
