:-) Arduino

Few weeks ago I ordered Arduino Duemilanove from Fritzing with a nice starter kit.
Now I am ready to start my little experiments with Arduino! I hope to post here very soon..
Few days ago was released Uno <here>, the last Arduino version..but there are still some pros for Duemilanove as reported here <LadyAda FAQ>.

Article from Frame And Form <eng>

From SmartGeometry website
The SmartGeometry Group is pleased to announce that the annual SG event will take place in Barcelona 19th – 24th March 2010. The event will be the key event in the year for discussing, learning and networking about the emerging practice of digital parametrics within the AEC community.

The event will come in three parts, a Workshop (19th-22th March), a public Shop Talk (23rd March), and a public Symposium and Reception (24th March). These events follow the highly successful previous SG events in San Francisco 2009, Munich 2008, New York 2007, Cambridge/London, UK 2006 and multiple preceding events.
Annually, the SG workshop attracts an impressive group of tutors and attendees from across the world of academia, professional practice as well as many of the brightest students. The workshop is open to 100 applicants who come together for four intensive days of design and collaboration. Admission to the workshop is based on selection by the SmartGeometry Group.
The 2010 SmartGeometry Workshop is organised around the challenge ‘Working prototypes’. Working prototypes are functioning prototypes developed for the purpose of proving and testing a concept and design. In 2010 the workshop will be held in the great industrial space at the IAAC in Barcelona. This allows possibilities for fabrication on even a 1:1 scale, of creating material stress, physical thinking and mental gymnastics. This puts the physical at centre stage in challenging participants to design, assemble and test working prototypes

Epithelium Studio

I've been fascinated about SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) and its applications in architecture..
I've found on Core.Form-ula the Epithelium Studio.

From my thesis - GenerativeComponents - LCD model

Another post from my old Thesis blog. A small simulation of LCD system behaviour.

Architettura Parametrica (GC workshop) 5-7 giugno Torino

Il corso è finalizzato allo studio e all'esplorazione di dispositivi per la progettazione quali software parametrici di ultima generazione GenerativeComponents e strumenti di produzione digitale come elementi per un approccio sperimentale al processo progettuale. Si propone una riflessione sulle possibili modalità innovative che questi strumenti hanno all'interno del processo progettuale con particolare attenzione ai sistemi sostenibili ed al loro rapporto nella definizione dell'architettura.

Honorable Mention @ BE Students Awards

My thesis project "BHouse" has been selected as a Runner Up for a 2008 Bentley BE Awards of Excellence and has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the Architecture/Building competition!
The project has been displayed during BE Conference 2008 in Baltimore, Maryland (USA).

Premiata con il Bentley BE Awards of Excellence la tesi di uno studente cagliaritano

La tesi di laurea di Davide Madeddu è stata premiata con Menzione d'Onore nella categoria Architecture/Building come finalista al Bentley BE Awards of Excellence. Il BE Awards of Excellence premia ogni anno i migliori lavori sviluppati da professionisti e studenti con software Bentley. Il progetto di tesi, sviluppato con il software GenerativeComponents TM, è stato inoltre esposto recentemente a Baltimora (USA) alla BE Conference "BEst Practices for Sustaining Infrastructure", evento che ha visto la partecipazione questo anno di oltre 2000 professionisti del settore.
