== '''''Interactive Bodies 4.0_Workshop:''''' ==
The workshop focuses on developing 1:1 real-time interactive architecture prototypes with a specific focus on Physical Computing. Physical computing, in the case of this workshop implies building interactive physical systems by the use of software and hardware that can sense and respond to the analog world. This involves responding to us humans, environmental conditions, dynamic activity patterns and other physical objects in the immediate context.  

The workshop, via this unique focus specifically aims at demonstrating bi-directional information exchange between human beings and the digital world. In order to achieve this, during the course of the workshop the students shall acquire a two-pronged strategy: Develop a design driven methodological framework for underlining an interaction concept & Develop a physically interactive prototype with embedded sensing and actuating and control systems as a proof of concept.

== '''''Brief:''''' ==
The goal of this 10 days workshop is to develop both: methodological frameworks of interaction and technologically sound physical computing prototypes.  

The workshop operates on the premise that bodily motion and non-verbal communication can be understood as interfaces of emotional expression and cognition. The idea of creating an interactive behavior loop via the medium of Physical Computing between the body, the physical and ambient space it operates within as well as the tools and techniques offered by contemporary new media technologies shall thus acquire center stage in this workshop. 

The workshop challenges the students to conceive architectural space/spatial element as a living entity, which can display behavioral traits, abilities to react and respond to human stimulus via their physical computing interventions. Theoretically speaking, the convention of perceiving architectural space as an object, which provides basic amenities and acquires a static character no matter what the physiological and psychological state of the occupant, will be challenged via the workshop. The students are thus encouraged to conceive their experiments (both design and technical prototypes) within this context where a subject – subject relationship, wherein bi-directional communication between space and its occupants is the norm. 

The prototypes shall illustrate a generic interaction behavior, which is attributed to the larger architectural space. In doing so, a scaled, fully operational, real-time interactive prototype shall be produced as a proof of the interactive behavior concept. A volume restriction of this interactive architectural environment is 3m X 3m X 3m cube. The overall architectural vision or in other words the design exercise is limited to this volume and shall be illustrated in a digital environment. This shall include animations, images and design methodology based presentation (Interactive Pdf. or Power Point format). The physical prototype shall essentially be a part of this bigger Interactive Architecture vision. The selection of this part and the salient interaction features to be demonstrated via it shall be decided in consultation with the tutors. 

The students shall be organized in four groups comprising five students each. It is imperative that a cohesive and consistent working relationship should be established within students comprising each group. In order to support and assist the workshop each group shall meet the tutors everyday. Both, design thinking based and technical knowledge based tutoring assistance shall be provided during the entire course of the workshop (kindly refer to the schedule for details). A co-evolution of both fronts is deemed essential in order to impart a holistic operational mode wherein design ideas and their refinement are connected with technical development and resolution. 

At the technical front, the tools this workshop will mainly use are: Arduino, Grasshopper & Firefly. Technical tutoring sessions shall ensure that all participants cover basics to advanced operations within these three software systems. Tutorials pertaining to all three have been distributed to the students already and it is recommended that they also spend some time in self-learning from the same. 

Besides this, kindly purchase the required electronics (sensors, actuators and microcontrollers) as is specified.

Designing an immersive environmental "MONSTER", who(which) has capabilities of emotional expression or reaction, such as protecting, attacking, angry, pleasant...etc, though geometric transformation, such as folding, bending, extending...etc.  

[[File:DT_2015_02.jpg | 850 px]]
A 3m*3m*3m space is the basic volume of the MonsterSpace's body. It can be accordingly extended or contracted 3-dimensionally based on specific design intentions. All monsterSpacens have to composed by a componential emergent system from bottom-up as a collective decision making progress, like how all nature organisms grow. 

[[File:DT_2015_03.jpg | 850 px]]
The MonsterSpace should be an immersive environmental space. In other words, the monster should not be considered as an observed object, but a space where people should be involved in. The emotional expression of the Monsterspace could be designed as an experiencing process, gradually transform from one to another. Similar to all the relationships between predator and prey, the predator have to first attract the prey and catch them in a sudden. The prey (participant) experiences totally opposite atmosphere created by the predator (MonsterSpace) from external to internal bodily environment, which is also a crucial challenge in this workshop.
