Experimental Rooms: integration of parametric tools for designing spaces. Structure, light and sound. Magic spheres

Abstract

The progress in architecture design has always been connected to the contemporary technology innovation. This new techniques have been associated to every scale and elements that compound an architectural design. Nowadays, computer-aided technology, besides the advantages on display, computer graphics and artificial experimentation with architecture, also allows us to create structures and elements that would be very laborious and sometimes impossible to carry out without them. These methods accelerate the designing process by connecting the parameters that compose them, in a way that, if we modify them, we will not have to redo the initial design. In addition, these parameters are able to store information, transform it, and produce graphic variations. The Experimental Room is a real architectural space, where the user can interact to transform the environment. The subject to present for the congress deals with the research and exposition of a project which seeks for the complete integration of all the parametric processes. The purpose of this project is to prove that, thanks to the architectural space parametrization we can assign real and virtual variations to modify his entity.
