This video shows a typical day early on in the first studio [ArboReal House] of the 2009-2010 IaaC Masters of Advanced Architecture. The studio is divided into two phases. The first phases consists of student teams adopting a tree species in Barcelona and studying a specimen of that species to understand its reactions [...]

Current exploration into alternative interfaces for presenting and interacting with associative models. Here we see two examples of communication from an iPod Touch 2g to McNeel’s Grasshopper plug-in for Rhino. This is made possible by Open Sound Control (OSC) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). In these examples, a Processing interface was utilized to show [...]

LaN OnSite Barcelona v2 workshops concluded with composite fabrication processes and associative design production. Participants joined a two phase / six module workshop series that immersed them in contemporary digital design and fabrication techniques. McNeel Rhinoceros was the base platform for all design and parameterization. Through the Grasshopper plugin for Rhino, participants [...]
