With a research interest in exploring new conceptual and material possibilities emerging from the use of advanced digital design and manufacturing technologies, he has developed an intense activity in the last 10 years, combining architectural research, teaching and design practice. In 2009, he received the Young Research Award in Architecture from the Technical University of Lisbon / CGD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On his PhD research, he investigated the use of CAD/CAM technologies to rethink the applications of cork in architecture. During this research period he was a Special Student at MIT (Cambridge, MA) and a Visiting Scholar at UPenn (Philadelphia, PA). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After taught in Barcelona at ESARQ-UIC and at IAAC, he is currently invited auxiliary professor at FAUP and at DArq FCTUC (Coimbra). Writing regularly for magazines and symposiums, he created in 2005 a monthly section on digital technology in the Portuguese magazine “Arquitectura e Vida”, which he edited for three years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professionally, he has practiced architecture in Porto since 2002. Between 2004 and 2009, he co-founded and directed the studio ReD | Research+Design with Marta Malé-Alemany. With built projects in Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Slovakia, Spain and Portugal, ReD’s works have been presented in many lectures, exhibitions and publications, and received important distinctions like the FEIDAD 2005 award (Taiwan), OutrosMercadus award 2006 or the NEOTEC grant in 2007 (Portugal). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Since 2009, he has developed an independent architecture practice, and he is the co-founder of&amp;nbsp;OPO’Lab, a&amp;nbsp;technological laboratory for architecture and design in the city of Porto. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;Architect&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;porto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jpsousa.com/"&gt;www.jpsousa.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;Auxiliary Pro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;fessor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;faculty of architecture&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;university of porto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fa.up.pt/"&gt;www.fa.up.pt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;Auxiliary Professor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;department of architecture&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;university of coimbra&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.darq.uc.pt/"&gt;www.darq.uc.pt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;Co-Director&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;opo'lab&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opolab.com/"&gt;www.opolab.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4003109045381182305-5535164172520972909?l=jpsousa-info.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4003109045381182305/posts/default/5535164172520972909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4003109045381182305/posts/default/5535164172520972909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jpsousa-info.blogspot.com/2011/04/bio.html' title=''/><author><name>JPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12323134389169854038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003109045381182305.post-3818659745280522643</id><published>2011-04-19T18:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-22T20:05:24.102-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CONTACTS'/><title type='text'>CONTACTS</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width: 720px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;

&lt;td valign="top" width="610"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;A exploração das tecnologias digitais em arquitectura constituiu uma história com quase 50 anos, cujo início remonta ao ano de 1962, quando Ivan Sutherland apresentou a sua tese de doutoramento “Sketchpad” no MIT. Propondo um interface gráfico para mediar a comunicação entre o Homem e a Máquina, o seu trabalho marcou o arranque das tecnologias de Desenho Assistido por Computador (CAD). Demonstrando, para além da realização de tarefas de cálculo, capacidades de representação gráfica no ecrã, esta máquina passou finalmente a interessar ao mundo da arquitectura, cuja cultura e processos operativos têm natureza iminentemente visual. Desde então, os arquitectos têm vindo a utilizar instrumentos digitais de forma muito diversificada até aos dias de hoje. De um modo simplificado, propõe-se neste artigo a consideração de quatro fases de evolução da integração das tecnologias digitais em arquitectura, associando-as a diferentes motivações disciplinares.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Fase 1: Desenho 2D | Até aos anos 80, o principal interesse subjacente ao uso do computador residia na procura de alcançar uma maior produtividade na produção de desenhos técnicos, essencialmente bidimensionais. Face ao desenho manual, o desenho digital oferecia vantagens claras ao nível das possibilidades de correcção, reprodução, armazenamento e distribuição. Contudo, apesar desta automatização, o desenvolvimento do projecto continua a decorrer de uma forma em tudo semelhante à experiência do estirador.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Fase 2 : Visualização 3D | No início dos anos 80, a miniaturização e descida acentuada do preço dos computadores acelera radicalmente a sua difusão para além das instituições académicas e dos grandes escritórios de arquitectura com maiores recursos. Paralelamente, a consolidação de uma indústria de desenvolvimento de software comercializa um conjunto alargado de soluções informáticas que começam a incluir capacidades de modelação tridimensionais. Desenvolvendo construções tridimensionais digitais, é possível simular atributos materiais (ex: texturas) e condições ambientais (ex: iluminação solar) para produção de imagens e animações virtuais. A persuasão destas representações fascina o mundo da arquitectura, que passa a considerá-las como poderosas alternativas à construção de maquetas físicas, para servir a visualização e apresentação dos seus projectos. No entanto, apesar destas possibilidades, nao se pode considerar que o computador altere a natureza do processo de projecto em arquitectura.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Fase 3 : Concepção | Rompendo com as duas fases anteriores, onde o computador tende a metaforizar processos e representações oferecidos pelas tecnologias analógicas precedentes, o início dos anos 90 anunciam um interesse crítico pela investigação das potencialidades específicas das tecnologias digitais. Perceber como se poderiam criar novas condições para a pensar e abordar o projecto de arquitectura levou vários arquitectos, tanto ao nível académico como na prática profissional, a olhar para outras disciplinas em busca de estímulos e respostas. Arquitectos como Greg Lynn, Bernard Cache ou Karl Chu exploram novas abordagens conceptuais ao projecto recorrendo, respectivamente, a técnicas de animação digital da indústria do cinema, a software de modelação paramétrica da engenharia mecânica, e ao desenvolvimento de programação informática associada às ciências da computação e à biologia. Pela primeira vez, estes processos interactivos, de carácter dinâmico, flexível e evolutivo, revelam aos arquitectos possibilidades de representação digitais que dificilmente poderiam ser proporcionadas por outros instrumentos. O computador revela assim novas condições para o desenvolvimento do projecto, desempenhando um papel activo na sua própria concepção. Durante esta década assiste-se à proliferação da exploração de geometrias complexas em arquitectura. Apesar de facilmente controláveis no computador do ponto de vista geométrico, a maioria destas propostas nao chega a ser construída, o que expões fortes limitações existentes ao nível da industria da construção.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Fase 4 : Construção | O final do século passado marcou a consolidação da exploração da integração de tecnologias de Manufacturação Assistidas por Computador (CAM) em arquitectura, provinda de áreas como a indústria automóvel e aeronáutica. Através da prática de processos de CAD/CAM torna-se possível comandar um conjunto de máquinas de fabrico Controladas Numericamente por Computador (CNC), directamente a partir da informação geométrica contida nos modelos digitais de projecto. Dispensando a impressão de desenhos e a sua interpretação humana, abrem-se novas condições para a produção em arquitectura, caracterizadas por uma elevada precisão, maiores possibilidades geométricas e facilidade de personalização das séries de fabrico. Pela natureza escultórica do seu trabalho, Frank Gehry foi um dos arquitectos que mais cedo sentiu a necessidade de encontrar novas estratégias construtivas para poder materializar os seus projectos, tendo sido um pioneiro no uso de processos de CAD/CAM em arquitectura.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Neste contexto, atinge-se neste início de século, um momento em que o computador pode intervir em qualquer momento do processo de arquitectura, desde a sua concepção à sua construção. Se a isto se juntar o impacto que as redes de computadores, como a Internet, introduzem na circulação da informação digital independentemente de limitações geográficas e temporais, configura-se aquilo que se poderia designar como Praxis Digital. Nesta abordagem, o computador revoluciona na sua globalidade as condições para o desenvolvimento do projecto em arquitectura. Ao permitir representar e construir formas geométricas e estruturas materiais cuja complexidade seriam de difícil concepção e concretização por meio de instrumentos analógicos, e ao flexibilizar e ampliar os modos de colaboração interdisciplinar em redor do projecto, o uso de tecnologias digitais permite expandir significativamente o campo de possibilidades conceptuais e materiais em arquitectura. Nesta observação, diz-se “permite” porque, na verdade, a maioria das práticas arquitectónicas continua ainda confinada à utilização do computador para os fins descritos anteriormente nas fases 1 e 2. Embora se atinjam níveis de produtividade elevados no trabalho de escritório, o universo de oportunidades criativas de projecto não sofre grandes alterações dada a interferência limitada do uso do computador. Esta situação, estende-se também ao ensino da arquitectura, onde se inclui em Portugal, onde as excepções a essa visão são ainda poucas, embora estejam em maturação acelerada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;No entanto, atentando aos edifícios que se destacam na arquitectura contemporânea pelas suas formas e soluções construtivas inovadoras, é possível descobrir que por detrás da maioria deles se encontram formas de utilização de processos avançados de projecto e manufacturação digitais. A relevância desta interferência é acrescida quando se verifica que, num mundo globalizado, ela é uma realidade que cruza diferentes escalas, programas, situações geográficas, contextos culturais e condições económicas. Porque um edifício é uma entidade complexa, é óbvio que tanto na sua concepção como na sua construção, o uso de processos digitais avançados pode articular-se com processos convencionais. No entanto, a sua presença é um factor decisivo para a expansão do universo de possibilidades de exploração conceptual e material de projecto &lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(0&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1)&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Por este motivo torna-se importante quer na prática quer no ensino da arquitectura não ignorar o papel actual e futuro das tecnologias digitais no campo da arquitectura.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ol7NyAYdMHw/Ta4iirflUBI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/nDNPRtsC6kM/s1600/JPSousa_Figura01_640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ol7NyAYdMHw/Ta4iirflUBI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/nDNPRtsC6kM/s640/JPSousa_Figura01_640.jpg" width="290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Instalação “FluoScape” para a Exposição MCity (KunsthausGraz, Áustria, 2005). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Desenvolvendo um script (programa) informático em AutoLISP foi possível conceber e fabricar cerca de 600 elementos com geometrias individuais personalizadas para a criação de um efeito de topografia invertida no espaço expositivo. Esta abordagem digital ao projecto através de CAD/CAM permitiu ultrapassar limitações impostas por processos de produção baseados na estandardização, permitindo explorar controladamente um universo de maior liberdade geométrica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="610"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Através de uma trajectória pessoal variada, tem sido possível conhecer e testar estas tecnologias digitais, tanto ao nível profissional como académico. Por um lado, através da prática profissional , tem sido possível constatar como a emergência e dependência crescentes de uma lógica de funcionamento em rede das condições de projecto e construção permite que um estúdio de pequenas dimensões possa intervir globalmente, acedendo a encomendas e recursos que podem estar fisicamente distantes. Os argumentos relativos a dificuldades sentidas localmente, por exemplo, ao nível tecnológico, perdem cada vez mais significado nos dias de hoje pelos motivos apresentados. Por outro lado, através da experiência académica , tem sido possível verificar que cada vez mais, as escolas de arquitectura tendem a apostar na integração de tecnologias digitais nos seus currículos, através da oferta de cadeiras de aprendizagem específicas e da criação de laboratórios que apoiam a sua exploração de forma transversal às várias disciplinas. O resultado mais visível deste interesse consiste na verificação de uma maior liberdade na exploração de possibilidades geométricas de projecto que são testadas materialmente através da produção rigorosa de protótipos por processos de fabrico digital. Como através destes processos se consegue alcançar a produção de elementos à escala 1:1, inclusive envolvendo o uso de materiais de construção finais, as possibilidades de materialização por CAD/CAM permitem ultrapassar a escala da maqueta, estendendo a aula de projecto à experiência da construção &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(02)&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YlgwP87Z2kg/Ta4kbrrH8GI/AAAAAAAAARI/1PoxxJk5ZY8/s1600/JPSousa_Figura02_640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YlgwP87Z2kg/Ta4kbrrH8GI/AAAAAAAAARI/1PoxxJk5ZY8/s640/JPSousa_Figura02_640.jpg" width="290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;02&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Experiências de ensino de CAD/CAM. Da esquerda para a direita: Workshops realizado na FAUP (2008) onde se explora a concepção e materialização de formas curvas; Workshop realizado na ESAP (2007) onde se investiga o projecto de sistemas estruturais variáveis (não-standard); Estúdio de projecto no Mestrado em Arquitecturas Genéticas na ESARQ-UIC em Barcelona (2003), onde se desenvolvem protótipos à escala 1:1 para testar ideias de projecto desenvolvidas digitalmente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="610"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;A motivação de integração de tecnologias digitais, quer na prática quer no ensino da arquitectura, fundamenta-se, assim, nao só na leitura da importância do papel do computador na produção arquitectónica contemporânea, mas também, no reconhecimento de que, actualmente, a inovação em quase todos as áreas de saber associadas à disciplina depende, cada vez mais, da utilização de tecnologias digitais. A título de exemplo, podem-se referir os campos mais práticos da geometria, projecto, engenharia (ex: estruturas, acústica, térmica…), construção, desenvolvimento de materiais, sustentabilidade, etc. Mas também, campos mais teóricos como a história da arquitectura podem colher benefícios da exploração de processos digitais de simulação virtual e de fabrico digital. O modo como se tem processado as obras de continuação da Sagrada Família em Barcelona, recorrendo à combinação de processos de CAD/CAM com processos produção tradicional, demonstra as capacidades e finalidades abrangentes das tecnologias digitais, as quais permitem relacionar-se tanto com o antigo como com o novo, isto é, com modos de inovação e de invenção&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(03&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;. É a constatação desta natureza abrangente que demonstra a riqueza e o valor de uma Praxis Digital, que estimula uma maior consideração das suas possibilidades de aplicação quer na prática profissional quer no mundo académico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zioTGqddjQk/Ta4ipPzQ6WI/AAAAAAAAARE/qm_eSLDJhvc/s1600/JPSousa_Figura03_640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zioTGqddjQk/Ta4ipPzQ6WI/AAAAAAAAARE/qm_eSLDJhvc/s640/JPSousa_Figura03_640.jpg" width="290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;03&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Obras de extensão da Sagrada Família em Barcelona. Para conciliar o antigo com o novo, a equipa de projecto da Sagrada família recorre intensivamente ao uso de tecnologias digitais de desenho e manufacturação. As geometrias propostas por Gaudi são cuidadosamente estudadas através do computador de modo a definir o desenho das novas construções. Dada a sua complexidade, o recurso a processos de CAD/CAM facilita a sua validação e execução prática.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4003109045381182305-3816903465832428183?l=jpsousa-info.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4003109045381182305/posts/default/3816903465832428183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4003109045381182305/posts/default/3816903465832428183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jpsousa-info.blogspot.com/2011/04/praxis-digital.html' title='PRAXIS DIGITAL'/><author><name>JPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12323134389169854038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ol7NyAYdMHw/Ta4iirflUBI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/nDNPRtsC6kM/s72-c/JPSousa_Figura01_640.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003109045381182305.post-1657511161378794643</id><published>2011-04-19T15:16:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-22T08:16:20.634-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='HORROR VACUI / exhibition design'/><title type='text'>HORROR VACUI</title><content type='html'>&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="310"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;local / date:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"&gt;lisbon, portugal, 2007 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"&gt;brno + praha, czech republic, 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;client:&lt;/span&gt; nai,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"&gt;netherlands architecture institute&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;curator&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;hans ibelings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="310"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;architecture:&lt;/span&gt; josé pedro sousa, marta malé-alemany, (red,  research+design) / &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;collaboration: &lt;/span&gt;joão albuquerque, luis de sousa / &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;production&amp;nbsp;+ installation: &lt;/span&gt;daniel pinto (portugal), procedes (germany), nai (netherlands) /&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;graphic design:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;arjan groot, &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;photography:&lt;/span&gt; inês d'orey, suzanne  kohle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="width: 630px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="310"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;The ‘Urban Implosions – Horror Vacui’ exhibition was a show curated by Hans Ibelings and organized by The Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI). Conceived for the presentation of 30 Dutch architectural projects that were specifically selected for this event, the installation will represent the country of Holland within the first Lisbon Architectural Triennial.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Relating to the concept of Horror Vacui (fear of emptiness), the installation delineates the contours of a hypothetic volumetric construction that represents a city, reminding the idea of an urban silhouette or skyline. It occupies the totality of the space, generating a dense structural body that is both visually and physically permeable. The theme of the exhibition -Horror vacui- refers to the idea of the fear of emptiness. In the visual arts, for instance, it consists on filling up the entire surface of a work of art with ornamental details, figures, forms, lines or other. In the field of architecture and the city in particular, the curator Hans Ibelings describes it as a concept that represents a model of growth that works through the full occupation of space (not expansion), which illustrates the process undertaken by the construction of cities in Holland.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Considering this theme, ReD’s installation proposes the full occupation of the space assigned to the Dutch representation, with relatively light and thin aluminum structure, that unfolds linearly in space through a series of orthogonal movements. The design responds to an imaginary volumetric construction, which relates abstractly to the constructions that generate a city. Beyond its reference to the theme of the exhibition, this structure organizes the entire space of the show as well. It creates a single continuous line that, with its own movement, generates the support for all the exhibition contents: physical models and panels with photographic images and drawings. Given its material characteristics and dimensions, the structure occupies the space without imposing any visual subdivision. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Given its lightness, it allows for perceiving the entire space of the room at once. The only elements that partially interrupt this view are the exhibition panels, which are naturally meant to be observed. Considering its scale, the structure can be traversed in several directions, thus enlarging the circulation space available in the room. In that manner, the coordination between the structure and the information of the projects in display (panels and models) permits many possible pathways, thus offering multiple perceptions of the installation. By enveloping the visitors all around, the installation invites them to be part of its overall spatial scenography.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="310"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Idealizado por um grupo de arquitectos e artistas que vivem e trabalham na baixa do Porto, “Fachada Habitada” é um projecto de intervenção urbana que consiste numa acção dupla: uma instalação arquitectónica que cria uma “nova” fachada num edifício do centro histórico, e que serve de superfície para receber uma projecção de vídeo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recorrendo a um material leve e corrente –caixa de cartão- e ao uso de tecnologias digitais, projectou-se e materializou-se uma forma curva para a fachada do edifício da ESAP, que remete para outras possibilidades de intervenção arquitectónica nas zonas históricas, alternativas à tendência dominante de museificação do património. Tal como acontece noutras cidades europeias, a possibilidade de introduzir marcas de contemporaneidade é um factor decisivo para a revitalização e renovação dessas áreas urbanas particulares, adequando-as convenientemente às expectativas humanas dos tempos actuais. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;Detectando a desertificação persistente dos edifícios do centro histórico da cidade, a projecção de vídeo sobre a superfície da nova fachada revela cenários de interior habitados por pessoas, que neles vivem e convivem. Aponta-se assim para a permanência e a fruição humana como elementos chave para o sucesso de recuperação de qualquer centro histórico. É preciso habitar as fachadas da baixa do Porto!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="310"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ChaPWL1z4A/S6AWS7XC0RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/PazAokybex4/s1600/JPS_FacHabitada_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="210" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ChaPWL1z4A/S6AWS7XC0RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/PazAokybex4/s320/JPS_FacHabitada_01.jpg" width="295" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O3pdizT32Y4/Ta6rDRSdljI/AAAAAAAAAR8/UvVKBP45sSY/s1600/JPS_FacHab_Final_02_640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="210" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O3pdizT32Y4/Ta6rDRSdljI/AAAAAAAAAR8/UvVKBP45sSY/s320/JPS_FacHab_Final_02_640.jpg" width="295" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a5grU3Q_AsY/S3oU-fZkA2I/AAAAAAAAAEI/nXIX7juiIck/s1600/iphone_photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="290" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a5grU3Q_AsY/S3oU-fZkA2I/AAAAAAAAAEI/nXIX7juiIck/s320/iphone_photo.jpg" width="209" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4003109045381182305-3061022223863838573?l=jpsousa-info.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4003109045381182305/posts/default/3061022223863838573'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4003109045381182305/posts/default/3061022223863838573'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jpsousa-info.blogspot.com/2011/04/fachada-habitada.html' title='FACHADA HABITADA'/><author><name>JPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12323134389169854038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ChaPWL1z4A/S6AWS7XC0RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/PazAokybex4/s72-c/JPS_FacHabitada_01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003109045381182305.post-3540965126557965079</id><published>2011-04-10T02:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T02:20:22.580-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FREE FORM EARTH'/><title type='text'>FREE FORM EARTH</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width: 720px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="460"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;The ARQ/a magazine invited JPSousa and the studio PlanoB to develop an installation at the Ordem dos Arquitectos gallery.

&lt;td valign="top" width="310"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Projectada para um jovem casal, a casa ZM2 é um edifício de habitação unifamilar que procura minimizar o impacto do volume de construção, maximizar a presença e utilização do espaço exterior, e tirar partido das condições de exposição solar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trabalhando sobre um programa funcional muito específico e estabilizado, desenvolveu-se uma solução arquitectónica que se procura relacionar com a topografia do local através de uma organização em dois pisos. Tirando partido da manipulação topográfica do terreno, os espaços comuns localizam-se a um nível inferior em clara relação com o jardim exterior, enquanto que os espaços privados se desenvolvem no piso superior, debruçando-se sobre o terreno. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As opções formais e materiais da Casa ZM2 são indissociáveis das intenções de projecto. Uma estrutura resistente em betão armado permitiu introduzir uma extensa superfície envidraçada nas zonas de estar e comer, que dilui a separação entre interior e exterior, evidente no muro de suporte que se materializa numa lareira  no interior da casa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Ao invés, como que levitando, um volume opaco e vermelho reflecte o sentido de privacidade inerente aos espaços que alberga. O seu aspecto recortado resulta da preocupação em individualizar os vários quartos, através da exploração de diferentes jogos de aberturas e varandas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainda interiormente, a distribuição longitudinal dos espaços apoia-se num grande corredor animado uma extensa e estreita janela elevada orientada a norte. Neste percurso interior, um espaço de pé-direito duplo surge para pontuar a localização das escadas que estabelece a comunicação física entre os dois pisos, e onde se encontra projectada a instalação de um elemento ornamental denominado como Skyshelf, que serve, também, de estante. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marcado por uma grande área ajardinada pontuada por um sobreiro, o exterior da casa é marcado ainda pelo separação do volume da garagem que permite criar um espaço coberto de utilização diversa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="310"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Hoje em dia, o uso de tecnologias de CAD/CAM tem expandido o universo de possibilidades de projecto e construção em arquitectura. Uma leitura da arquitectura contemporânea à escala global revela que existe um interesse crescente na exploração de uma liberdade geométrica e de possibilidades de personalização sem precedentes, tanto ao nível das formas como dos elementos e sistemas construtivos. Assim, depois do paradigma de produção artesanal (baseado na peça única) e do de produção em série (baseado na peça reproduzível), a indústria de materiais de construção enfrenta hoje novos desafios de produção para poder corresponder aos interesse actuais da arquitectura.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: medium; border-left-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: medium; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: medium; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: medium; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: medium; border-left-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: medium; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: medium; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: medium; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Considerando a sua importância para a economia Portuguesa e procurando oportunidades de inovação, a minha investigação dedicou a sua atenção à cortiça e, mais especificamente, ao aglomerado de cortiça puro. Ao contrário de outros materiais tradicionais, como a madeira, metal ou vidro, esta indústria encontra-se ainda ligada a modos de produção mecânicos baseados na estandardização. Apesar do seu grande valor ecológico e propriedades físicas únicas, esta condição tem limitado o seu potencial de afirmação como material de elevado interesse para a arquitectura. Contudo, a emergência de uma consciência ecológica a nível global, e a recente utilização inovadora de aglomerado de cortiça puro como elemento de revestimento exterior de edifícios, levada a cabo pela primeira vez por Álvaro Siza no Pavilhão de Portugal da EXPO 2000 em Hannover, renovam e elevam a importância deste material nos dias de hoje.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: medium; border-left-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: medium; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: medium; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: medium; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Neste contexto, esta investigação ambicionou repensar a aplicação do aglomerado de cortiça puro em arquitectura através do uso de tecnologias de CAD/CAM, averiguando a sua possibilidade de resposta às novas promessas produtivas das tecnologias, e de correspondência aos interesses correntes mais complexos da arquitectura. Para este efeito, efectuou-se um levantamento crítico e exaustivo do estado da arte ao nível das tecnologias digitais de projecto e manufacturação mais relevantes para a arquitectura, bem como um levantamento histórico e científico sobre a cortiça em geral, e um estudo in-loco dos processos correntes de produção de aglomerado de cortiça puro em fábrica.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SeKzyTGLo2w/TLskVpa-PKI/AAAAAAAAANk/M-6xmd6BTQo/s1600/JPSousa_A21_Fig-1-1024x808.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="230" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SeKzyTGLo2w/TLskVpa-PKI/AAAAAAAAANk/M-6xmd6BTQo/s640/JPSousa_A21_Fig-1-1024x808.jpg" width="290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;Síntese da investigação prática levada a cabo com aglomerado de cortiça puro (jpsousa + Amorim).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="610"&gt;Partindo desta base mista de conhecimento (teórico e prático) esta tese propõe a integração de tecnologias de CAD/CAM no final da cadeia actual de produção de aglomerado de cortiça puro, como estratégia de inovação. Para testar esta hipótese, formularam-se e realizaram-se um conjunto de experimentos práticos envolvendo diferentes processos de fabrico subtractivo CNC (laser, jacto de água e fresagem), como forma de investigação das limitações e potencialidades de produção associados a três temas gerais: “formas 2D”, “superfície texturada” e “formas 3D”. O resultado final, plasmado nos vários protótipos físicos fabricados, demonstra a viabilidade e potencial destas tecnologias na prática, explicando os processos que melhor se adequam aos diferentes objectivos e sugerindo a possibilidade de criação de novos produtos em aglomerado de cortiça puro. A conclusão final desta investigação, identifica ainda linhas de investigação futura sobre a integração das tecnologias de CAD/CAM noutras fases da cadeia de produção, com o objectivo de aumentar a eficiência, a flexibilidade e o potencial de inovação.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zioTGqddjQk/Ta4ipPzQ6WI/AAAAAAAAARE/qm_eSLDJhvc/s1600/JPSousa_Figura03_640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="220" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zioTGqddjQk/Ta4ipPzQ6WI/AAAAAAAAARE/qm_eSLDJhvc/s640/JPSousa_Figura03_640.jpg" width="290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;02&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #888888;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Obras de extensão da Sagrada Família em Barcelona. Para conciliar o antigo com o novo, a equipa de projecto da Sagrada família recorre intensivamente ao uso de tecnologias digitais de desenho e manufacturação. As geometrias propostas por Gaudi são cuidadosamente estudadas através do computador de modo a definir o desenho das novas construções. Dada a sua complexidade, o recurso a processos de CAD/CAM facilita a sua validação e execução prática.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="610"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nota:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Esta investigação de doutoramento foi defendida em Junho de 2010 no Instituto Superior Técnico, tendo sido desenvolvida sob supervisão do Prof. José Pinto Duarte.

This time, the organization chose the city's Public Library to host the event, which created a very interesting and surprising atmosphere! During about 2 hours, it was possible to see very diverse and nice presentations. My presentation consisted in 20 slides, each one dedicated to illustrate a single theme or project, using a single, full-screen image.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;

Idealizado por um grupo de arquitectos e artistas que vivem e trabalham na baixa do Porto, “Fachada Habitada” é um projecto de intervenção urbana que consiste numa acção dupla: uma instalação arquitectónica que cria uma “nova” fachada num edifício do centro histórico, e que serve de superfície para receber uma projecção de vídeo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Recorrendo a um material leve e corrente –caixa de cartão- e ao uso de tecnologias digitais, projectou-se e materializou-se uma forma curva para a fachada do edifício da ESAP, que remete para outras possibilidades de intervenção arquitectónica nas zonas históricas, alternativas à tendência dominante de museificação do património.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="310"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Tal como acontece noutras cidades europeias, a possibilidade de introduzir marcas de contemporaneidade é um factor decisivo para a revitalização e renovação dessas áreas urbanas particulares, adequando-as convenientemente às expectativas humanas dos tempos actuais.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Detectando a desertificação persistente dos edifícios do centro histórico da cidade, a projecção de vídeo sobre a superfície da nova fachada revela cenários de interior habitados por pessoas, que neles vivem e convivem. Aponta-se assim para a permanência e a fruição humana como elementos chave para o sucesso de recuperação de qualquer centro histórico. É preciso habitar as fachadas da baixa do Porto!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;Pictures&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cbO8PaLE28M/Ta6mxT_2tdI/AAAAAAAAAR4/8143NpUsXtA/s1600/JPS_FacHabitada_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="460" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cbO8PaLE28M/Ta6mxT_2tdI/AAAAAAAAAR4/8143NpUsXtA/s640/JPS_FacHabitada_01.jpg" width="620" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O3pdizT32Y4/Ta6rDRSdljI/AAAAAAAAAR8/UvVKBP45sSY/s1600/JPS_FacHab_Final_02_640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O3pdizT32Y4/Ta6rDRSdljI/AAAAAAAAAR8/UvVKBP45sSY/s640/JPS_FacHab_Final_02_640.jpg" width="620" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4003109045381182305-4434250942988194591?l=jpsousa-info.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4003109045381182305/posts/default/4434250942988194591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4003109045381182305/posts/default/4434250942988194591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jpsousa-info.blogspot.com/2011/04/fachada-habitada_21.html' title='FACHADA HABITADA'/><author><name>JPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12323134389169854038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ChaPWL1z4A/S6AWS7XC0RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/PazAokybex4/s72-c/JPS_FacHabitada_01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003109045381182305.post-60167553518521958</id><published>2008-04-25T10:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-25T10:50:39.918-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EXHIBITIONS'/><title type='text'>MMFX - Manufacturing Material Effects Exhibition</title><content type='html'>&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;Local:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;Indianapolis Museum of Art&lt;br /&gt;Indianapolis, USA&lt;/span&gt;Date: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;March 28 - May 30 / 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Exhibition curators:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;Branko Kolarevic, Kevin Kingler&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Featured work:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;MORSlide and XURRET System&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Following its participation as invited team in last year's Material Manufacturing Effects / MMFX Symposium in Indianapolis (USA), ReD's work is now featured in the MMFX Exhibition, at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Here is a short description by curators Keving Kingler and Branko Kolarevic:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Indianapolis Museum of Art is presently hosting Manufacturing Material Effects: Rethinking Design and Making in Architecture, an exhibition that features work from leading thinkers, designers and manufacturers from around the world who&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;participated in the 2007 symposium at IMA organized by Kevin R. Klinger and&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Branko Kolarevic. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The exhibition display was designed, digitally fabricated, and assembled by a team of graduate and undergraduate architecture students at Ball State University working with key regional industry partners. Through this immersive learning experience, a hallmark of Ball State University, students were transformed by engaging a real world collaborative exchange. Students developed the display system entirely using digital media and translated files electronically to drive the production of each specific material. A digital exchange of information between manufacturers and students was central to the success of the project.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The exhibition is sponsored by the Institute for Digital Fabrication (IDF) with the Center for Media Design, the College of Architecture and Planning at Ball State&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;University, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, as well as regional industry partners.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Multiple manufacturers have donated materials, facilities, and production time for the exhibition. These businesses include Indiana limestone, Indiana hardwood veneer, metals, and plastics specialists.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The exhibition will be on view through June 8, 2008. A formal closing event has&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;been scheduled for May 30, at 6pm at the IMA.

A utilização de técnicas avançadas de fabrico assistido por computador, particularmente o corte por jacto de água CNC, está na base da concepção do projecto SampleBOX. Com o auxílio do computador, é então possível projectar e fabricar peças de geometria variável sem que tal represente um acrescento significativo no custo e no tempo de produção, desafiando o paradigma da estandardização vigente na indústria da construção. O Vitrakem é um material variável em termos de aparência, e pode ser, também, variável em termos da sua geometria.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Procurando demonstrar esta dupla versatilidade SampleBOX consiste numa caixa de 1.80x5.00 de base, com 1.50m de altura. Volumetricamente, pela sua condição ortogonal e plana, esta caixa remete para uma exploração espacial e construtiva mais tradicional. No entanto, no seu interior, a realidade e o interesse são outros. Um conjunto de 53 placas de Vitrakem, correspondendo às diferentes cores existentes no catálogo da marca, é digitalmente cortado através da simulação de passagem de pessoas através da caixa, o que provoca a personalização geométrica de cada uma delas. Este jogo cria nichos para sentar e percursos espaciais de secção variável, ao longo dos quais se pode apreciar um catálogo de soluções cromáticas do material. Para além destes elementos verticais, a concepção antropomórfica dos atravessamentos cria simultaneamente uma variação topográfica ao nível do chão, que contribui para uma experiência de percurso mais interessante.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Construtivamente, as paredes exteriores são compostas por uma construção tipo sanduíche. Esta é composta por um contraplacado de madeira e uma placa de Vitrakem interior, ambas cortadas e perfuradas (para proporcionarem encaixes para as placas interiores coloridas), e uma placa Vitrakem exterior que vem cobrir esses momentos de fixação. As várias placas interiores, cortadas individualmente por jacto de água CNC, possuem umas saliências para fixação à parede-sanduiche envolvente. Quanto ao chão, este consiste numa série de blocos de MDF fresados individualmente por CNC de acordo com as geometrias específicas definidas no modelo digital. A sua sequenciação entala as placas de Vitrakem coloridas, o que contribui para que todo o conjunto se apresente estruturalmente estável e construtivamente sólido, funcionando em bloco.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Por uma certa ambiguidade e surpresa, o resultado formal da SampleBOX tem o poder de se tornar um objecto marcante no espaço interior do aeroporto. O contraste entre a simplicidade formal e escura das paredes exteriores e a profusão de cores e superfícies variáveis do seu interior, desperta a curiosidade das pessoas, desafiando-as a aproximarem-se e experienciarem esta estrutura. Considerando os percursos traçados e a envolvente do aeroporto, a SampleBOX poderá ser posicionada de modo a integrar-se nos fluxos de percurso das pessoas que por aí passam.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1KrWxKDlYNA/TbWwQ6k6RKI/AAAAAAAAAWo/9-wkQ8oqbGI/s1600/RED_VK%257E3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1KrWxKDlYNA/TbWwQ6k6RKI/AAAAAAAAAWo/9-wkQ8oqbGI/s320/RED_VK%257E3.JPG" width="295" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oAE04KfOKMY/TbWwNQrus4I/AAAAAAAAAWg/1ngICQpGItQ/s1600/ReD_VK_SampleBOX_Render-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="190" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oAE04KfOKMY/TbWwNQrus4I/AAAAAAAAAWg/1ngICQpGItQ/s640/ReD_VK_SampleBOX_Render-01.jpg" width="295" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h64IfnWcr5c/TbWwOgPvMSI/AAAAAAAAAWk/FGoBBSaL-SY/s1600/ReD_VK_SampleBOX_Render-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="190" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h64IfnWcr5c/TbWwOgPvMSI/AAAAAAAAAWk/FGoBBSaL-SY/s640/ReD_VK_SampleBOX_Render-02.jpg" width="295" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4003109045381182305-7746618938099382924?l=jpsousa-info.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4003109045381182305/posts/default/7746618938099382924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4003109045381182305/posts/default/7746618938099382924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jpsousa-info.blogspot.com/2011/04/sample-box.html' title='SAMPLE BOX'/><author><name>JPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12323134389169854038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1KrWxKDlYNA/TbWwQ6k6RKI/AAAAAAAAAWo/9-wkQ8oqbGI/s72-c/RED_VK%257E3.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003109045381182305.post-376532401594087046</id><published>2008-04-04T12:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-28T15:01:42.677-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LECTURES'/><title type='text'>School of Architecture, University of Illinois in Chicago (2008)</title><content type='html'>&lt;table style="width: 610px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="400"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I2outRmg5o4/Tbm9nKB88zI/AAAAAAAAAX4/7rvvYK8z2f4/s1600/ReD_Lecture-UIC-Spring08poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="560" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I2outRmg5o4/Tbm9nKB88zI/AAAAAAAAAX4/7rvvYK8z2f4/s640/ReD_Lecture-UIC-Spring08poster.jpg" width="390" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;ReD was invited to be part of the Spring 2008 Lecture series of the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois in Chicago / &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.arch.uic.edu/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;SoA UIC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;, currently under the direction of Robert Somol.

-webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;M-City was a large exhibition that took place in the KunsthausGraz, the “friendly alien” building designed by Peter Cook and Colin Fournier. Dedicated to the examination of new urban landscapes in average European cities, it presented the works of 30 different artists structured in two main curatorial subjects: urban themes (1st floor) and city portraits (2nd floor) Invited to design the installation to accommodate this dense programmatic organization, ReD was interested in exploring the striking features of the Kunsthaus building to inform the generation and development of the proposal. ReD’s design concept was focused on creating a response of the ceiling to the artwork laid out beneath, controlling the light and suggesting various circulation paths. While this similar concept was applied to both floors, their spatial differences suggested two formally distinct installations: FLUOScape and CONEplex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONEplex is the installation developed by ReD in the 2nd floor of the Kunsthaus, to accommodate the portrait section of the M-City exhibition, which consisted in six video projections about Basel, Krakow, Graz, Ljubljana, Ruhrstadt and Trieste. Created to avoid the conventional definition of enclosed and orthogonal rooms, lightweight conical elements were designed by ReD to be suspended from the existing skylights. Without touching the ground, these intimate spaces were gently tilted to invite visitors to gather beneath them, view the projections and move easily on to the next. Departing from a same set of geometric rules, the six cones were parametrically differentiated to adjust them to the variable height of the space. Both their textile skin and metal structure was CNC fabricated in Germany, following the geometry of the 3D digital models developed by ReD. Once installed in space, CONEplex created a dynamic exhibition environment with no preconceived or linear trajectory for the visitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px;

ReD’s design concept was focused on creating a response of the ceiling to the artwork laid out beneath, controlling the light and suggesting various circulation paths. While this similar concept was applied to both floors, their spatial differences suggested two formally distinct installations: FLUOScape and CONEplex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;FLUOScape is the installation developed by ReD in the 1st floor of the Kunsthaus, to accommodate the urban themes section of the M-City exhibition dedicated to Earthscapes, Eurosprawl, Mapping, No Vison? and Shopping. In this space, the excessive and monotonous grid of 587 fluorescent lights provided the basic infrastructure to generate a completely new spatial effect. By fixing to each fluorescent light a soft cover (a flag) of varying lengths, the flatness of the ceiling would be transformed into an inverted topography that would flow over the entire space dedicated to themes. With their differentiated lengths, which were related to the exhibited works below, this topography of flags suggested areas and circulation paths without using any traditional walls or corridors. To design and control the complexity of such design exploration, ReD developed its own ‘design tool’ –FLUOSoft- a specific computer program written in AutoLISP. The 587 different flags were CNC laser-cut in Germany using all the individual contours and labels specified by the script.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MCity project was awarded with the FEIDAD 2005 Award (Taiwan) and with the OutrosMercadus Award for Ephemeral Architecture (Portugal).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

-webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;By hiding the programmatic subdivision behind it, this wrapper created a larger box that offered a suggestive opportunity for ornamental exploration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;Given the random location of the existing doors, the challenge was to develop a three-dimensional texture that would hide the edges of each panel by emphasizing the overall continuity. ReD designers contemplated all possible positions of the sliding doors, aiming for an uninterrupted skinning effect. With that in mind, the MORSE code was explored because its three basic constituent symbols –dash, dot and space- offer endless combinatorial possibilities to create a strictly horizontal yet randomly distributed field pattern. This strategy required investigating several ways of translating the graphic pattern into a three-dimensional digital surface. Despite their identical shape, each of the panels was differentiated with a unique ornamental texture.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"&gt;MORSLIDE is thus another project from ReD that takes advantage of digital design and fabrication technologies to challenge standardization principles. For its fabrication, subtractive CNC machining provided viable means to produce variable relief effects, enabling multiple ways of engraving this pattern into standard plywood panels. Milling the plywood produced a new visual pattern (by exposing the colors of the wood laminations) superimposed onto the digital model. In that manner, MORSlide explores the interaction between digital and material information as a design opportunity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="10"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="300"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Recent developments in the field of digital technologies have been interfering in almost all aspects of human life, changing the way man understands, constructs and acts in reality. In the same way as other disciplines, architecture also sees itself naturally affected by a contemporary cultural condition in which the information value represents a central role (1).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An analysis of some of the most relevant architectural practices of nowadays reveals that we are crossing a period of intensive experimentation of alternative computer aided design processes. A greater maturity and a deeper architectural reflection about the specificity and ways of assimilation of the digital drove the attention from mechanical tasks of presentation, simulation and description of the design, to the search of advanced techniques that could efficiently assist the conception in architecture. The computer is, thus, understood as a powerful design partner due to its augmented capacities to work all the information that flows along this process.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this context, one of the current researches trends is investigating the integration of some genetic concepts in architecture. A core idea is the understanding of the architectural object as an entity that has its own system of information that generated it. An approach that starts from the knowledge and manipulation of this informational structure allows not only a work towards evolution and perfection of an architectural solution, but also the search for the creation of multiple variations of itself – objects that belong to the same “family”. In this process, the digital appears as a media that allows the convergence of distinct information types, thus stimulating creativity and efficiency when designing. Among other trends as researches on programming with shape grammars or genetic algorithms (Figure 1), parametric modeling presents itself as a technique with the capacity to include, in a transparent and interactive way, the design information from conception to construction and from large-scale to detail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Figure 1. Paul Coates, Kart S. Chu (genetic programming) and José P. Duarte (shape grammars).&lt;br /&gt;Not being technically restricted to the manipulation and control of simple euclidian geometries and proposing alternatives to the production concept based on standardization, all these efforts are looking for the cutting-edge on structural engineering, numerical manufacturing technologies and materials science.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.  The Flex-H&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The flex-H research begun as a master project at ESARQ-UIC, in Barcelona. As a continuity and convergence of previous experiences on variation-repetition theme, information representation, parametric modeling and digital production (2), this work intended to define initially a set of architectural references, some of which allow to bridge what these new techniques have to propose with some previous architectural interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Peter Eisenman design studies for houses one can recognize a will to search for possible architectural variations that are generated, through distinct geometrical operations, from a common initial idea. This interest in creating multiple solutions resulting from different adaptations of one architectural concept reveals to be more difficult to explore, test and execute when the scale of intervention is larger. For instance, at the moment when the architect has to design a set of buildings, perhaps due to difficulties he finds in the systems of representation available and the limitations imposed by the systems of mass production based on standardization, one can see that almost the adopted solutions coincide in formal, spatial and building systems dominated by identical repetition (Figure 2).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Figure 2. House design studies by Peter Eisenman and Faro’s Project New Housing State (Netherlands).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These cases drove the development of flex_H research to the housing programme, trying to study the way as a parametric design process could assist the architect in conception work, when he intends to work experiment different variations to be extracted from one single architectural concept. Such motivation is supported on recent achievements on Computer Aided Manufacturing technologies (CAM) which introduce mass customization concept, which suggests the extension of this idea of personalization to the Computer Aided Design moment of the architectural solution (3). Thus, the developed parametric model tries to incorporate the concept of flexibility in the adaptation of a building idea to a context, client demands or architectural interests. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accepting indetermination, the house is here understood as a virtual architectural object that can be actualized through customized variations of a design principle, generated parametrically from one single digital three-dimensional computer model. Its configuration is variable according to the data that feeds the designed information structure which, interactively, controls its geometry. This system acts, therefore, like a DNA structure, relating all generated variations to a common “family” of solutions (4).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During a first phase of research, several studies were progressively developed in order to define and relate the characterization of an architectural idea of a house, with a parametric strategy of behaviour that could face adaptation needs (Figure 3). Therefore, a simple typological scheme was defined through the organization of three different spaces – private, access and public – which have specific adaptation performances. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Figure 3.   Conceptual models for the definition of the flex-H. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The criteria for the parameterization was always evaluated and determined according to:&lt;br /&gt;• the interest, from the architectural point of view, in allowing or restrain variation in certain situations;&lt;br /&gt;• the technical limitations revealed by the software for their incorporation;&lt;br /&gt;• the particular interests of a research context.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The evolution of the parametric model was developed combining new adaptation possibilities with the experimentation of geometrical behaviours inherent to these conditions (Figure 4). Areas, heights, number of levels, site dimensions and position of the spaces are some of the possibilities that are parameterized to generate different design solutions. For the definition of its geometry, the use of splines controlled by points fixed on the site and in the building establishes a topological relation between both, which originates distinct curves, and, consequently, distinct volumes too, every time its parameters are filled with different values. The house geometry presents a capacity to answer specifically and individually – effect – to a set of editable information that control and determine it – cause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Figure 4.   Parameterization studies, the parametric model and its behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this moment the most recent version of the flex-H parametric model works as a real time media for rigorous definition of master geometries of each one of the distinct solutions that it can generate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the architect's interaction with this digital model occurs inside the parametric software environment, he can also provide, for other people, a more user-friendly interface using external software that is able to activate the parametric digital model. Thus, for instance, a client can himself test, visualize and evaluate the effects of his desires and decisions through a MS Excel table, being improved, therefore, all the communication process between him and the architect (Figure 5). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Figure 5.  Options to be taken to customize a solution, information visualization and internal functional definition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the accomplishment of the flex-H model v 1.3, it became necessary to proceed with some advanced studies before starting to produce its successor. For this, a solution generated by the model was used as a case-study for the development of an in-depth characterization of the house, particularly, on its functional, material and structural levels (Figures 6 and 7). This process, carried with traditional drawing and modeling digital techniques is essential to build a background of advanced knowledge to reflect about the interest of the integration and possibility of other adaptation possibilities in future versions of the parametric model. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Figure 6.   Capturing of a master geometry and 2D/3D graphics that characterize the solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Figure 7.   Images from the desired solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;According to the obtained information, it seems interesting and possible to explore, in a next research phase, the incorporation in the model of some elements for internal spatial definition, extending, thus, the adaptation theme, parametrically controlled, at the internal functionality level of the house. Also, the association of the parametric model with communication technologies, as the internet, is an interesting line of research, as it will allow a greater freedom for space-time intervention of all the agents that collaborate in the architectural process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In wider terms, framing architecture in the digital electronic era, the flex-H work develops itself as an instrument of knowledge about the capacity of a parametric model to incorporate and manage the information of an architectural project. From conception to construction (5), it experiments the convergence of design representations into one single three-dimensional model that represents a common media for work development and communication among all the architecture intervenients (6). Due to its associative parametric features, this kind of process proposes new ways of collaboration that challenge the linearity that traditionally drives the architectural project process. When associated with digital fabrication technologies, parametric modeling promises a dynamic design process where conception, simulation, analysis, presentation, detailing and construction can happen fluidly and interactively, stimulating thus, a move from interdisciplinarity to a truly transdisciplinarity (7).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Concluding, architecture can use new digital technologies not only to expand its boundaries into virtual electronic spaces, but also to digitally reconfigure its processes of design and construction in the physical reality. The contemporary electronic digital age establishes new conditions for a new kind of technical reproducibility. Superseding mechanical and standardized systems, our contemporary culture demands new architectural processes to incorporate individualized-customized requests as a core part of the design task, as other disciplines have already embraced successfully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.
