We investigated different positions for possible Augmented Reality viewpoints, where we could place our cameras. These will be used to to provide real-time images, upon which we can superimpose the Corpora structure. Thus we will be able to witness the structure as it grows in public space real time, and also see visitors moving within the generated
architecture.
We measured the wireless ranges for our Zigbee sensors in this environment, with emphasis on their range within the thick vegetation of the Giardini park. Also we measured if wirless sensors are able to cross the channel that is just behind the pavilion itself.
The sensors could form their mesh network, given some time to settle down, when places 15-20 meters apart. The channel could be traversed with ease. These results were reached when the sensors were placed on the ground – where we know that when they are high up the air, the range is even better. But, the bushes do decrease the range clearly.
Venice – where keeping the heritage equals to being backwards, people are not helpful and just making hard things for you.
This is a personal account of my first impressions here, and my second trip to Italy in general. I’m impressed – but not positively. The place reminds me of a circus built of facades, everyone very intent on not breaking their historic character. But behind all this, it’s like being in Tarkovsky’s Stalker, a place long abandoned, with hidden threats, obstacles looming all over.
As the Team of embarking on a trip to Venice for a technical survey, Gyula Július, the project leader made some concept drawings on the possible sensor and camera locations for the Corpora system. The red dots are the suggested locations of cameras, and the green ones are for the sensors.
“What can architecture learn from the cities hollowed out from the
Cappadocia cliffs, from a wasp’s nest, or even from the structure of
an anthill? The project Corpora in Si(gh)te of the team
doubleNegatives Architecture, born of a Japanese-Swiss-Hungarian
collaboration, follows the model of structures originated without the
guidance of a designer-engineer, organized from the bottom up,
employing generative architectural technique. Read the rest of this entry »
A small text as an example of easy theoretical background materials, this time on the Place of Emperor Diocletian and William Gibson’s mind.
16.04.2008. I had an excellent meeting with Stephen Kovats, the artistic director of Transmediale.
The 11th International Architecture Exhibition, directed by Aaron Betsky and entitled Out There: Architecture Beyond Building and organised by La Biennale di Venezia presided over by Paolo Baratta, will take place in Venice from Sunday, September 14th to Sunday, November 23rd 2008. The preview will be on September 11th – 12th – 13th.
I’ve started to register the domain name corpora.hu so that we’ll have a URL that is easier to remember. It will be regsitered in 17 days, then we’ll migrate to it…
