Microbial Ecologies (ME) is proposing a speculative scenario in which is able to explore new robotic fabrication processes as a framework for investigating the generation of bio-artificial systems. These systems allow us to regenerate polluted and eroded terrains, protect the soil from farther erosion and encourage healthy plant growth using interconnected 3D fibre systems (Phytoremediation - a process where contaminants are absorbed by the fast-growing hemp roots or, in some cases, transforms toxins into a harmless substance. This decontamination process is proven to pull heavy metals from soil. It was also used following the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl to remove radioactive strontium and cesium). The research explores a heterogeneity of fibre structures at a broad range of spatial scales. The heterogeneity and interconnectivity of the 3D fibre system within soil creates symbiotic bio-diverse microhabitat for the various microbial population and vegetal systems. The system that ME is proposing has a pivotal role in microbial interactions, therefore it is able to amplify the biodiversity of ecosystems.
Microbial Ecologies focuses on the development of fibre structures to characterize soil composition at multiple scales that are relevant for micro organisms.
Theoretical Framework
- The Sensor System (SS) as a framework for processing environmental data. The prototype has been developed in Valldaura-Self Sufficient Labs located in the Collserola Natural Park, Barcelona. This Sensing technology is feeding our second dimension (Software Simulation) and parameterizing the virtual prototype. The parameters which are modelling the software are: water flows, slope gradient, solar radiation, thus, the fibre pattern is defined according to environmental data processing.
- The Software Simulation (S) is based on physics engine and explores new ways of simulating fibre behaviour. The parameters that are encoding the virtual prototype are: distance between fibres, lengths of fibres codified by number of particles per each fibre, fluid properties, dipping time speed and frequency. The internal logic of simulation is based in rules that are being extracting in physical experiments, in which we tested the fibre behaviour under different dipping techniques and also different fluid properties. These material behaviour experiments allow us to understand the emergent fibre behaviour processes. The software explores new ways of form-generation and develop new system for modelling complex adaptive environment.
- The Actuation System / Fabrication System (FS). This phase is physically modelling, through robotic processes, all datasets that are been processed in the digital simulation. All of these processes are proposing a new hybrid framework for fabricating bio-artificial ecosystem. It investigates new feedback loops between material and digital systems.
Microbial Ecologies is exploring new robotic fabrication protocols using natural fibre as an environmentally friendly medium for designing microhabitats.

Atmospheric Ecologies - Exploring Hemp Behaviour under Artificial Climates (growing apparatus)
Atmospheric Ecologies (AE) aims to explore new fictional environments, in which are able to reproduce a global climate experiment. AE investigates new interfaces that allow us to simulate artificial climates, and be able to explore how all these invisible (data) artificial microclimates are encoding the plant growth. The experiment intends to develop a device that enable us to amplify our knowledge about the implications of using chemical substances or artificial nutrients in hemp growth plant by developing digital simulations. The simulations will allow us to explore new ways to visualize hemp behaviour. AE research will be a framework for researching the link between data that has been codified in the different artificial atmospheres and hemp behaviour. This interface aims to expand the way of producing citizen science. AE aims to investigate new ways of physicalization of hemp root system by exploring 3D Printing techniques. AE will allow us to spatialize hemp root systems under different artificial atmospheres, visualizing in real time the effect of using chemical nutrients in hemp plants.

team: peter malaga, fran castillo, yogesh karekar, priyanka narula
supervisor: claudia pasquero, marco poletto assistant: alexandre dubor
The aim of the project was to develop and test communication protocols to control and manipulate the behavior of a large industrial robot. Since 6-axis machines such as the one in the IAAC Fab Lab are directly inherited from the mass production of cars and other industrial products, the first focus of our research has been devoted to developing alternative protocols of robotic fabrication that would afford a more direct interaction between machine and designer, as well as machine and the surrounding environment; these protocols will lead to the engineering of mass customized productions.
3D robotic light painting
Our first experimental set up was the following:
-The robot was controlled via Grasshopper, through the use of the KUKA | prc plug-in (from association for robots in architecture) for Grasshopper and Rhino. We did draw a series of parametric lines that would become the tool paths for the robot.
-A video simulation with the virtual robot in Grasshopper was performed by to understand the behaviour of the machine along the path and amend eventual errors; the video would allow also the testing of multiple path parameters and robot behavioural options.
-The tool mounted on the robot contained 1 fixed LED light and 2 or 4 blinking ones; the blinking was also controlled via Grasshopper and related to the robotic arm path.
-A camera was positioned in front of the robot and its exposure tuned to the particular lighting conditions and the length in time of the tool path. Such configuration allowed capturing the ephemeral lighting traces left by the robotic arm movements. The robotic behaviour is therefore translated into a 3D robotic light painting.

The pavilion is a playful tribute to the seminal research on form-finding conducted by Antonio Gaudi. Design and making workshop explored the spatial, structural, material and ornamental opportunities that exist at the overlap of algorithmic modes of drawing; specifically recursive routines of growth, tiling and subdivision couple to analogue- and digitally-enacted methods of computation. The project explores the historical trajectory of form-finding within architecture which affords a deeper understanding of architectural form and the processes that underlie it. Similar to many traditional design techniques (cutting, carving, folding, weaving), form-finding techniques harness the positive limitations of a given media – material and force – to resolve formal characteristics in consistent ways. Unlike traditional methods however, form-finding processes embed a considerable level of material and structural intelligence within active design (read: modelling) processes. Thus establishing not only highly productive pathways between design and space-making but equally to the affiliated aspects of material performance, optimisation and build-ability. The final outcome of the workshop saw the realisation of a highly performative and ornamental thin-shell concrete structure. The funicular (in compression) shell consisted of 83 entirely unique fabric-formed concrete tiles ranging in thickness from 8 to 16 mm. The pavilion’s overall form was initially computed through a digital hanging chain (dynamic-relaxation) form-finding process. A second algorithm was developed to automate the workflow of the timber casting rigs necessary to produce each of the unique triangular tile elements: number and annotate tile adjacencies; add a margin to clamp the lycra fabric used as formwork; and to nest the resultant pieces onto cutting sheets. The individual tile elements were assembled in-situ on bespoke cardboard scaffolding and joined together using a fibre-reinforced mortar jointing method developed by the participants. Participants also explored a range of cement and plaster mixes for the fabric-formed tiles before settling on an optimum matrix with regard to material cost, availability and production time. The mix was placed within the casting rigs with the timber margin ensuring a consistent thickness. The mix was allowed to go “green” prior to the rig being de-centered which in-turn allows the tile to slump. Deformation is controlled through either fabric type and/or layering as well as timing. This incredibly simple method ensured an even tile thickness was attained. The tiles are wire-cut in place whilst still soft ensuring clean and square edges are achieved to aid in the ultimate assembly.

Physical Computing, Light Responsive Panel
team: peter malaga, marisa charusilawong, gabriela gonzalez, pedro moraes
supervisor: alex posada, tomas diez
The objective was to build an interactive quivering tridimensional and translucent membrane, that would be activated by flashlights and form different patterns of movements.The aim was to propose an interactive object, through the use and configuration of sensors, actuators and Arduino.
For achieving the goal, the following definition was created: Light sensors > Servo motors > Profiles > Elastic Fabric
The profiles can be rotated from 0 to 180 degrees. The start position is 0 degree, till the light sensors capture light and then servo motors rotate the profiles. Each profile reacts to a different sensor and has independent reactions from others. For enabling this movement, the fabric chosen was elastic (lycra) and for the highlight skin like effect, the pink color was assigned. When pointing to the responsive panel with flashlights, the light activates any of the three light sensors arranged in the frame, which generates various movements in the internal profiles that simultaneously stretch the elastic fabric.

Rambla de Prim [east fringe of Barcelona] is the place where multitude of complicated spatio-social situations intersect, from urban experiment of ideas of international modernism to the biggest immigrant communities in the city. How can we turn this at first sight disadvantage to a powerful tool which will bring near future development? After analyzing the socio-cultural and economic background of the area we propose develop an open program, free of restrictions and hierarchies, centres or rhetorical figures and create areas of opportunity, interaction, investigation, research and development [eDucation+Diffusion, R+D, culture and entertainment].
Hypermedia structure [bits, information, interface, sensors, hologramatic materials, telematic environments] as an urban catalyst responds to the heterogeneous and diverse society with continuous and instant flows of multitude social profiles and personalities [age, culture, social class, nationality, ethnic, religion, race]. This concept focuses on social sustainability, covering the demands and allowing the constant interactions of the users in the public environment. Aim of the project is to create a tension like atmosphere among a series of sequentially related activities which establishes an urban rhythm [a sequence of functional nodes produce the temporary activations of a place in different times] and stimulates the creation of urban intelligence networks. Inhabitants here are the protagonists of the actions and events rather than mere spectators.
Hyper-space consist of physical spaces with continuity in cyberspace [full-color, dynamic, morphing, modifying, configurable, re-active, instant, fast-moving]. “The computers are vanishing and screens expands to the size of any space you choose and the best interface for access to the digital world is not a keyboard or a screen but actual physical world itself.” [Vicente Guallart]
H-S architecture acts as a Total interface of a new hybrid of virtual-physical where different uses accumulates, acts as a interface with evolutional capabilities of growing and developing, mutating and transforming, altering, varying and deforming.
The Cybrid Fringe as a new type of smart public space enables the flexible regulation of flows of vehicles and persons with their fluctuating trajectories.

Bamiyan Cultural Centre, Bamiyan, AF, 2015,
international competition
team: martin lukac
Considering the vastness of the site, in comparison with the area for the new cultural program, the proposal fragments the volume in order to create a more intimate, courtyard-like public space, framed by new volumes. Design proposes a fragmentation of one single volume, which results in a composition of four objects, situated on the higher platform of the site, which could be perceived as a cultural cluster on a symbolic hilltop. This cluster can also be perceived as an urban transition between the orthogonal character of the municipal zone on the hilltop and the rural character of the patchwork of farm houses and fields down in the Valley. Specific composition of the objects presents the Bamiyan Valley in a sequence of views, whether framed by buildings (exterior), or by openings and perforations (interior). One-story objects, within this micro-urban situation, vary in height( special spaces such as exhibition, performance, library, workshops and conference are more lofty, or double height), and bring the dynamic to the volume.
Program for the new cultural centre distinguishes three zones of accessibility- public, semi-public and private. Three objects with the public and semi-public program are situated along the north-west edge of the higher platform. The Exhibition centre with a small gift shop and public tea house, provides a flexible open space for the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, as well as lively spaces of the tea room and sculpture garden for community events. The feeling of this space, with its columns and skylights, is inspired by cave-like spaces in the Bamiyan cliffs. Performance hall, with its rotated position in north-west corner, brings the views of the Valley to its interior. Operable panels allow the transformation of this space into the ˝black box˝, for projections and performances. Research and education centre brings together artists, researchers, library visitors and scholars, in an object with an inner courtyard, forming a small hub for exchanging ideas, sharing knowledge and breaking the cultural barriers. Office centre, in south-west corner, merging the offices spaces and conference room, represents a rather private part of the program.Courtyard-like public space serves not only as an access zone to all the objects and diverse programs, but also as an important place for a community interaction and event space.
Fragmented character of the cultural centre, with its central open public space, invites the visitors to experience the fields, houses and cliffs of Bamiyan Valley in a sequence of views, mixing exterior and interior views into one complex experience. Either starting at the main entrance and moving towards the public courtyard, or taking a walk around the site perimeter, one can perceive the Valley as a constant, though always changing landscape, framed differently by every building and landscape element on the site. While in the interiors, via figure-like horizontal openings or perforations, one can feel the presence of the Valley, perhaps as a surprising spectator, rather then a distant landscape behind the window. Buddha’s niches and cave openings, carved out of the cliffs, find their reflections in the buildings of the cultural center, with their various heights, sleek window openings and perforated mud-brick facades.
Design encourages the use of local and traditional material sources such as pressed mud bricks, concrete, local sand (structure), wood (interior elements, furniture) in a combination with the new technologies (solar panels). Buildings are designed as a concrete structures with robust mud brick infill, creating a thermal comfort during all seasons. All south facing facades will have a layer of bricks with perforation, as a sun protection element as well as a characteristic visual feature. Most of the structural elements will be produced directly on the site, or in the nearby facilities. Pursuing the concept of the self-sustainable character of the new cultural centre, 70% of the roof area will be designated for the solar panel technology. In order to prevent a negative impact of the new objects in relation to the Bamiyan landscape, all roof technology will be hidden behind the concrete roof parapet. Water will be obtained via on-site well, additional water can be harvested from the roof tops and stored in the basement tank. Landscaped surfaces will use local plants and trees (poplars, mulberry trees), which have been nurtured in a nearby nurseries. Local deep-rooted plants and materials (hemp netting) will also play an important role in stabilizing the steep slopes of the hilltop site.
With its simple architectural language, subtle architectural elements reflecting the natural and historical context of the place, materials and techniques, proposal of the new Cultural Centre forms a dialogue the with the rich history and culture of the site, thus strengthen the importance of its historical heritage and also creates a place, where this culture can be studied, documented, conserved and exhibited. A place in which the UNESCO World Heritage mission can be presented to the public in all its aspects, in order to encourage them in the participation in this mission and helping to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of this region for the future.

The mid of the 21st century would be defined by a paradigm shift affecting not only libraries and similar institutions but also the society as a whole. This period of time could be characterized by a continuous transition from a written text towards verbal information or from a keyboard towards the talking computers.
New technologies will play an important role in this transition. Similarly libraries and other cultural institutions as we know them today would become prominent hubs mediating this transition between technology and society in terms of how information is being processed, stored, searched and presented to the individuals and society. Current text searching technology will be replaced by more advanced search browsers. These would allow us to access diverse information data with attributes such as texture, smell, tone, reflectivity etc.
Exhibits presented by these institutions will display digitally processed and enhanced objects, 3d environments and projections in their full spectrum, including tones, smells, atmospheres, able to fully interact with the visitor and thus creating a unique experience.
The project is conceived as an interpretation of the existing Athenaeum brownstone building from 19th century during the shift of the cultural paradigm.
What would the institution’s on-site and on-line presence look like in the period of time when written text is being slowly replaced by verbal information and images and video by digital objects, interactive models and simulations? In the time when the digital copy of an object is more real and vivid as the original. The project focuses on the internal organization of spaces within a generic volume and its relation to the digital content presented by the institution. One of the two main spaces is the basement. It serves as a main area for producing the digital content for the institution and contains facilities such as text-to-speech studio, digital lab for 3d scanning, printing and creating interactive digital projections of architectural exhibits, along with archive and server room. The other main space is the computer study room on the top floor which would allow the visitors access the digital content via voice-in/voice-out computers. Volume compressed by these two floors is conceived as a sequence of rather acoustic-like spaces for exhibiting the digital content such as interactive installations, digital 3d objects and environments. Ground floor is defined as variable space for temporary exhibitions, technology workshops, lectures and digital broadcasting.

Competition entry conceives the new municipal office as a micro-urban situation of three new objects on the given site - municipal office, new municipal library and the object of maintanace service - within the context of the town Leopoldov and with the direct connection to the square of st. Ignatius. At the same time these objects also form a secular counterpoint to the church of st. Ignatius. This new micro-urbanism defines two main circulation spaces - a little pedestrian plaza and service communication for cars and maintenance vehicles. This little square extends and introduces the main square of st. Ignatius to the inside of an urban block and helps to formulate the dialogue between the micro-urbanism of the newly inserted objects and the existing urban tissue of the town Leopoldov.

RCNHA 2030+ envisions bright future of the favela Rocinha in Post-Olympic era of the Rio de Janeiro City, but at the contrary to the popular shallow-brained fantasies of antonymous (utopian-dystopian) speculative fiction body. Project aspires to link to the official, actual and near future development but also seek to reformulate and transform inconvenient or defected forms of contemporary urban upgrading practices.
As Jota Samper argues on ISR blog, in the case of informal settlements two main issues, poverty alleviation and urban violence, geographically intersect. Physical projects that are part of multi-sectoral upgrading are crucial to improve the quality of life while affecting condition of violence in the favelas.
Intention of the RCNHA 2030+ project is to create a NET structure (both physical and social) which equally covers entire area of the favela Rocinha and will cover up even areas on the fringe of the community. NET consists of Matriz hubs (big scale hub providing various facilities needed by local communities, supplemented with public activities and programs) which are connected both physically (infrastructure) and virtually (Wi-Fi). These nodes are supported by Filial hubs (smaller scale hubs), located at the Matriz hubs perimeters, deeper in dense urban patchwork. Such synapse connections transform back alleys and reinforce human activities and movements of the people in the street level where the ground floor space could be extended and opened to the street to create amount of new and diverse commercial and semi-public activities. Energy cycles: Water harvesting (rain, fog), Solar Energy Collection. From single dwelling, through Filial hubs to Matriz hubs and back creating a sustainable network which collects, storages and distributes resources according to the community needs within NET structure.

Proposal of social housing reflects the existing urban pattern of the town and system of buildings with maximum 2 stories, with basement or mezzanine basement garages. It is proposed as a single volume divided by shared walls maximizing the usable area. On the ground floor, the volume is perforated by voids forming the patios with greenery following the local and traditional dwelling types. Traditional introspective and protective character of dwellings can be transformed via operable gates extending the private patios into the semi-public park allowing visual contacts and intensification of social interactions and bringing more vitality to the public housing.
Larger dwelling types are elevated to the first floor and extending the visual contact toward the green areas and surrounding landscape. To reduce distance, adapted dwellings and sheltered home are oriented directly to the main park zone, where the interconnection between urban and rural is created.Dwellings include roll-up or sliding perforated shading system on facades (entrance doors, windows) which filter or block outside light.
All dwellings have installed underground water tanks: 150 liters/inhabitant/day, with reserve for 3 days, reserve 450 liters per inhabitant. All underground water tanks are placed either in the setbacks zones (outer green belt) or in space between ground-floor and basement parking. An intrinsic aspect of the whole project is positioning of Canary Palm (Phonix canariensis) trees which also define the perimeters of urban blocks and serve as natural landmarks.

morpheme
Conceived on one hand as a transient shelter or dwelling, and on the other as a set of processes, which
form some sort of intangible permanence. These activities, such as constructing, dwelling, eating,
sleeping, entertaining, which spiral through the different places and periods of time like a DNA that enables to create permutations and interpretations of the original theme.In certain ways, our proposal follows the traditions and simultaneously examines different spatial conditions and effects.
This concept defies the conventional wall-and-roof relation and rather tests zoomorphic qualities of "skin-and-bones", referring to the nomadic practices. A riblike form is partly derived from the Hebrew blessing ( word manipulation and overlapping, letter inscription, outlines defining the form) and resembling the animal skeleton ( whale or elephant ). Our Sukkah shelter is a system of digitally fabricated plywood profiles filling up the maximum allowed footprint area (19x8 feet).
However, shelter can be alternatively divided into segments and a smaller fragment of the structure can be constructed. Horizontal braces stabilize the structure, define the floor area and also hold the planters. Planters (either clay or woven) with plants create an alteration of traditional green roof - Schach. Plants in planters ( young bamboo )are detached from the ground but still rooted. These plants redefine the relation between the walls and roof by creating the "seamless green skin" and at night enable to see the stars through branches and leaves. Optionally openings formed by the structure can be filled with cut bamboo branches and sticks of diverse length and diameter, its hollow parts enabling the visual connection with the
sky.

Autophyte urban concept tries to combine the traditional „loose“ urban fabric of Valverde ( formed by grid of steep lanes, whitewashed houses and large gardens) with a more dense urban typologies, enabling municipal requirements. The final scheme was derived from volumetric models testing diverse typologies against the site conditions and exisiting urban context.
This process forms a hybrid urban texture of units generated from single-family house with garden and simple row houses scheme, which is subsequently transformed and modified according the existing conditions of the site ( environmental and climatic conditions, topography, connections etc.). Very important determining factors have been the site topography, new traffic connection with the existing town, parking for units and existing vegetation. These modifications result in an adaptive urban fabric responding to its environment. This fabric consists of double-rows of units. The orientation of units from north-east to south-west is determined by two main slopes in the topography of the site. This orientation allows the units cascade along these contours in different height levels and provides views towards the ocean and surrounding landscape. In this direction the rows are shifted and perforated in order to create gaps, crevices and voids for courtyards and atriums for greenery, parking places and pedestrian paths. These interstitial spaces create the distances between units and allow the flux of air and greenery, pedestrian movements and social interaction through the urban texture. Phyto-lava flows dissolve the urban volumes, /de/form the units and create organic mixture of houses and gardens referring to the existing urban fabric of the town.

The given site is an area about to undergo a huge transition. What today is simply a green space on the outskirts of the city will in the future be transformed into a brand new part of the city. A graftin project attempts to blend simultaneously both of these aspects. On one hand there is the existing woodland and on the other the inevitable demand of a young and fast growing city. our vision sees this as two mutually interconnected things rather than two conflicting ideas - the present in harmony with the future.
In order to pursue this strategy the concept appropriates words from terminology of gardening and agriculture. A graft refers directly to tree and gardening techniques, and yet is open to interpretation. It serves as a conceptual tool by which we can achieve a smooth urban mixture of present and future, natural and artificial.

Taking as an example the recently floods in south Asia, we decided to make a project for a slum community located along the banks of Sabarmati river in central Ahmedabad, where there are regular floods. We focused for the Sunday market community, placed on the border between the future developed area and the left-overs of what used to be a natural environment and now is taken by the slums.
SU market is located in an area which is now degraded, polluted and empty during the week, but every Sunday morning, at the eastern foot of the Ellis bridge, a sprawling market comes to life. All kinds of things can be found on the spread plastic tarps along the area. From furniture to batteries, from spectacle lenses to medicine tablets, new stuff is mixed with the used and junk becomes useful again, Society’s basic, centuries-years-old recycling practice is in its full-form depicted here.
We propose an overlapping of the artificial and the natural, contemporary and historical. We redefined the sense of SU market by creating a hybrid mixture of market, housing and landscaping. The area would be as a “research village” where the community could be informed how to build the house by themselves. The basic feature of the project is the use of available resources such as things which lost their primary utility and in our project they just start to live again. Reused plastic barrels, containers, palletes, etc., combined with natural materials such as bamboo. The houses are oriented from SU market to the semi-private bamboo garden. Each housing unit consists of three parts: plastic structure (shop, work-shop, living), bamboo structure (living) and bamboo garden (source of a raw material for construction of the bamboo units). The plastic structure is made by joined barrels and stacked palletes and some of the barrels also work as water collectors. All plastic structure is covered by plastic sheets to cover the interior. The bamboo structure consists of tied raw bamboo sticks and acts like natural “refrigerator”, bringing fresh air into the rest of the house. These two parts are covered by textile and plastic nets which provide sun protection and create more intimacy.

garden variety
- common, unremarkable, being of no special quality or type : average, formulaic, indifferent, mediocre, ordinary, routine, standard
Garden variety project is located on the outskirts of bratislava, capital city of slovakia - one of the post-communist countries in central europe.The project explores the possibilities of grafting a small sustainable community into one of the garden colonies. Garden colonies were the concept of leisure, often attended with the problematic soil conditions, water contamination and air pollution due to hard industry factories neighboring these areas. The project responds to the existing conditions and tries to reactivate these fringe areas by inserting a hybrid typologies. The notion of project consists of two interlocking parts: the house and the greenhouse. Housing types appropriate the form of geologic fault models, as if they were some sort of architectural ready-made. While the forms deal with geology and soil strata, the greenhouses explore the hydroponic and aeroponic techniques of growing plants without the use of soil. Project examines the double potential and different application of construction materials such as thermal insulation, which can be used not only for insulating the walls, but also as a growing substratum in the hydroponics drip irrigation technique. The hydroponic system, supplied with water from retention and filtration of rain water and operated by computer, can provide crop and create a greenhouse effect for the living space below. This space, founded on a space-frame anchored to the concrete slabs , uses the passive heating elements such as heat absorbing materials in the floor wall and ceiling.

the heathazy concept
A smooth transition and diffusion from the urban structure to the free open landscape has become the basic of the concept. Urban volumes are gradually land-scraping and densified towards the city as well as rising vertically. Reaching the town the structure itself gains the regular form. In the opposite direction the grid is getting loose and merging into the landscape. From a distant point / perspective views structure attempts to dissolve the horizon resembling the glittering of hot air stream heathaze-shimmering effect. overlapping effect of houses and landscapes is recognizable. Camouflage effect conceived as a defensive-offensive strategy now becomes a morphing tool between the landscape and the urban structure. Site territory represents an interactive field between the town and the open landscape where the game of gathering takes a place. The aim is to create effective relations between the proposed structure, existing city and the landscape. there is a scaling effect from the side-areas to the centre of the territory. This part is conceived as a node of converging flows of the city–urban greenery to the landscape by a green belt.

the flatland project
The flatland project attempts to form its own version of an encounter of volumes with a flat ground. Refusing the simple way of just an extrusion of volumes or solids, project creates its own fictive object or volume consisting of the absolut site surface and the maximum allowed building height. Apparently this object will remain fictive because of its unattainability / existing high voltage or given cubature / but in series of steps / including the two - plane projection / it can record itself / flat projections /. Placed onto the site these projections behave like an artificial strata, forming the connection between the existing ground and proposed housing strips. Stratified volume contains parking places, housing facilities and commerce and creates terraced surface for playgrounds and greenery. Initially rectangular housing blocks tend to twist and melt into the layered form, so that the semi - private spaces coalesce with basement spaces. Thus the plane becomes the volume and the flatland becomes a space for living created entirely by the means of its own.

Can a system achieve intelligence by combining the control of a flexible structure with the properties of an active material? The answer is Yes, and you will discover it at the “Smart Flexibility: Advanced Materials and Technologies” exhibition, with 28 projects developed by universities and firms from 10 different countries (USA, Germany, Denmark, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada, China, Australia and Spain).
The “Smart Flexibility: Advanced Materials and Technologies” exhibition seeks to explore the current capabilities provided by certain structures and materials to raise awareness and adapt architecture to its environment.
From this perspective the exhibition is situated on the borderline between matter and structure, investigating the flexibility and intrinsic reactivity of specific materials and advanced technologies. In order to do so, this event should not only bring together architects, designers and construction engineers but also creators from other sectors (sports, fashion, automotive, etc.), whose projects and products are focused on smart flexibility. These contemporary works and projects involving materials, sensitive systems and articulated supports enable us to imagine the functionalities an intelligent and flexible architecture may provide.
The harvesting of wind and solar power, electrical and thermal energy generation, perception and adaptation to climatic conditions, to acoustics and lighting environment, user detection and modification of the space through their body, their movements or even their emotions, are the challenges of tomorrow’s spaces and are thus the guidelines of the exhibition.

Bacteria in each dish had developed uncharacteristic colonies - blobs of orange and green which resembled aerial maps of Paris or Washington D.C. Lines radiated from dusters and divided the colonies into sections, each section having its own peculiar texture and - so Vergil surmised - function.
Greg Bear { Blood Music }
The concept responds to the given conditions of the basic exhibition L-shaped element. A simple rectangular white form element { 900x900x2100 mm} is suspended at an angle and frames the space of approximately 1.7 m3. Its horizontal and vertical planes create a juction and provide a neutral background for the installation project.
Local Species dioramic concept forms a second layer covering and dissolving a solid and neutral apperance of the exhibition element and produces a new volume. This volume will combine materials and products of disposable nature { selected cheap and banal products and materials of everyday consumption, enabling multitude and layering such as the plastic test tubes, zapstraps, plastic profiles...}
By mixing these materials and products with specimen models of our architectural projects, we define a stratified volume resembling organic or biomorphic pattern.
The exhibition element itself will appear as an artificial diorama, displaying geologic or biologic species rather than objects of architectural production.

u.s.a. [ united slovak architects ]
This group of young Slovak architects was formed during their studies on Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. Its members frequently used to change ateliers, both at the university and at work; hence they avoided one-sidedly influenced "traditional" thinking. As they happened to meet each other during their "migration" around ateliers, a changeable formation of people working on various projects was created. During their studies, its members received scholarships outside Slovakia, where they would be confronted with different cultures and opinions. Such a "nomadic" attitude towards education and information has made their thinking open and flexible. This has also influenced the functioning of their group. On the bases of practical experience and strong theoretical background, the ambition of the studio has been to approach as wide range of projects as possible. For this reason, they have kept on participating in international architectural competitions.
