Concept

Location; Rotterdam, market place
Market
Shop, Tent, Frame

No market
How people use the space?
What people do at the space?
How people communicate?

How does the function change?
Market – people buy and sell a product
No market – people just walk through the square

memo

Present city – static, people can’t change position of objects or scene
-> Scene is same
->routine
->no new impression

Future city – scene can be change or be created by people at the space
->fresh scene, feelings
->change scene depends on situation (people at the space, time, weather etc)



Flexibility
-LEGO
-Modular transformable furniture system
-People can create objects, building at public space easily
-Can change purpose by situation

Transformable materials & flexibility (multi function)
-People doesn’t have to bring much objects because objects has multi-function & can change functions

Product
-How dose a technology used for product apply (convert) to public space?
(Product) multi function – less object
(Space) multi function – less object, changeable by situation – more space?

Public space
-How does the meaning of public space change by digitalized society?
-How people communicate in physical space?

Interface
-How does people communicate each other?
-How does people interactive?

Interaction between
-Object & human
Human & human
Object & object

Feedback, Screen, material, haptic, tactile
-Most of walls change to digital screen
-How haptical experience change?

comment wall

Comment Wall is a wall where people can write their thoughts directly onto a wall using their fingers. The camera-recognition system remembers their text and displays it over time. The further away you stand from the wall; the most distant texts are displayed. As you come forward, more and more recent texts are uncovered until, when you are in front of the wall itself, a blank area is created for you to write your own.

Glume

Glume is a computationally enhanced translucent modeling medium which offers a generalized modular scalable platform with the physical immediacy of a soft and malleable tangible material.
MIT lab

Block jam

Block Jam is a musical interface controlled by the arrangement of 25 tangible blocks. By arranging the blocks musical phrases and sequences are created, allowing multiple users to play and collaborate. The system takes advantage of both graphical and tangible user interfaces

code

QR code
QR Codes storing addresses and URLs may appear in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards or just about any object that a user might need information

A user having a camera phone equipped with the correct reader software can scan the image of the QR Code causing the phones browser to launch and redirect to the programmed URL. This act of linking from physical world objects is known as a hardlink or physical world hyperlinks. A user can also generate and print their own QR Code for others to scan and use by visiting one of several free QR Code generating sites. (Wikipedia)



mobile phones can read QR codes










This QR code through a web cam, graphic images appears on top of the QR code.
Combining real imagery with computer generated images.







FP Code

camera phone readable code can be invisibly embedded in real picture, illustration etc.

can link to digital date such as movie, picture, sound and text










shotcodes

store less data than QR Codes and Datamatrix codes and are primarily used to store web site URL’s

Second skin

Second skin (Exhibition)

Designers today continually manipulate the relationship between the inside and outside of objects, garments, and buildings, creating skins that both reveal and conceal, skins that have depth, complexity, and their own behaviors and identities.

Robert and Granger Moorhead
This hanging fixture consists of a flexible silicone shell that flips up or down to provide either task or ambient lighting. The glowing rubber flesh resembles a pod or cocoon harboring alien life.


Shin Azumi, Mathmos
This light uses Airswitch technology; it turns on an off as the user compresses the air above it with her hand.

Kol/Mac Studio

Resi-Rise is a project for a building with an undulating skin that serves as both the surface and structure of the building. The material becomes an exterior shell, like the fuselage of a plane.






Nike

The Nike ACG Commverst for emergency workers has a built-in communications system that functions under extreme weather conditions. A push-to-talk button allows the radio to be activated with gloved hands. Speaker and microphone are removable for washing.
