Check out the updated PR page for the book Interactive Architecture. The book has 70,000 words and 350 color images and Bill Mitchell wrote the preface In Interactive Architecture, authors Michael Fox and Miles Kemp introduce us to a brave new …
Explorations in Bio-robotic Building Facades Summary This course explores a futuristic strain of architectural research that lies at the intersection of biology and robotics. Bio-robbotic Architecture focuses on naturally inspired and robotically augmented architecture that can adapt and evolve with …
A short class – Not the best models but some very interesting ideas: Synopsis: We have seen over the past decade an increasing interest in the capacity of built spaces to respond dynamically to changes in external and internal environments …
Working with students on through a grant from NASA to design and build a Deep Space Vertical Habitat. The design challenge of a vertically-oriented habitat is to work with the volumetric constraints and the “dynamic envelope” of the habitat given …
Amazing project by Behnaz Farahi (Michaels Student at USC which takes the Kinect / Arduino a way beyond the ACADIA project. One of the main contributions of this project is to explore how a physical environment can change its shape …
As communication technology unfolds, our designed environments will be so inextricably tied to our living trends that both will ultimately and simultaneously respond to, and define each other in a corresponding manner. In this course we will develop and prototype …

The investigation explores emergent behavior through a full-scale prototype loosely analogous to a flock of birds. The seemingly erratic behavior of a flock of birds questions the collective nature and attempts to apply this emergent behavior to a full-scale prototype …
