Mise au point d’enveloppes architecturales cinétiques intelligentes

Dans le cadre de ce projet, deux stagiaires collaboreront étroitement avec Philip Beesley Architects Inc. (PBAI) sur la conception et la mise en œuvre d'enveloppes architecturales cinétiques. Les enveloppes seront présentées comme installations sculpturales et comme système d'ombrage dynamique pour la « maison nordique canadienne » dans le Décathlon solaire 2009 du ministère de l'Énergie […]

Intelligent kinetic architectural envelope development

In the project, three interns will work intensively with Philip Beesley Architect Inc. on designing and implementing kinetic architectural envelopes. The envelopes will be presented as sculptural installations and as a dynamic shading system for the Canadian North House entry to the 2009 Solar Decathlon. Parametric modeling of components will be used to explore the […]

Affective mechanisms for interactive environments

The proposed internship, developed between the University of Waterloo and Philip Beesley Architect Inc. (PBAI), will develop and validate prototypes for novel expressive interactive sculpture environments. The work incorporates human perceptual studies and machine learning techniques for generating models for perception and generation of affective expression within experimental architecture and installations, and systematically deriving the […]

Embedded Philosophy in Near-Living Architecture

The intern will investigate the architectural potential and philosophical merit of Near-Living Architecture, a design that allows environments to be aware and empathetic to their occupants. To do this, the intern will edit and contribute to the upcoming Near-Living Architecture Monograph, a written work describing the vision, execution and future applications of research conducted by […]
