The uncaging of this media form has pressed some governments to establish ordinances designed to protect the public but at a time when few in government, the arts, architecture, construction or the academy understand the ramifications of this emerging architecture movement. In this paper, we would like to address the impact structures of this nature might have over the cityscape and possible suggest aesthetic standards for this emerging architectural form.","PeriodicalId":400834,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Media Architecture Biennale Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129320195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposal was to make an accessible and simple media architecture technology. We built the project during a three-day workshop with multidisciplinary participants, using materials and tools from Fab Lab Livre SP. Each pixel measures 39x39x19 cm, and the panel measures 156x195x19 cm. On the first day, we built the pixels; on the second day, we gave an introductory course on coding; on the third day, we assembled and tested the LED matrix. Building the pixels on a scale that dialogues with the architectural space enabled another perception of the media device in the environment and stimulated new uses and ideas for participatory forms of interaction.","PeriodicalId":400834,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Media Architecture Biennale Conference","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129267323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this task we will draw from a parallel situation in history: The German Bauhaus (1919-1932) - part of the European heritage and the start of the Modern Movement - is globally known for addressing the fundamental questions of a technology-driven culture. The Bauhaus masters found answers in a new model of education and production, linking crafts, arts and industry. Today we take this model for an inspiration as we create and anticipate new answers appropriate for our time. Questions are: • How can new cultural patterns be created that integrate tradition and digital transformation? • How to design concerns like health, housing, education, mobility and security? • How can we advance cultural heritage from China and Europe and build on it? We introduce the concept of concerns and experiment with designing cultural formats. Design organizes signs, structures and events. Based on universal principles these activities embody qualities that form the building blocks for ethics, services and socio-psychology. Together with the world of smart materials they form future cultural formats.","PeriodicalId":400834,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Media Architecture Biennale Conference","volume":"41 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128481305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the key reasons for that is the lack of user-friendly and public-facing prototyping tools to design creative content for media facades, making them out of reach for regular citizens, artists and other creative content providers. This paper describes our preliminary work in addressing this gap with a prototype of an online platform for media facade content creation, with features such as built-in templates, editing tools, and 'copy and paste' of lighting patterns across different sections of the facade. Crucially, the project is concerned with making the interface intuitive enough to facilitate the design of creative content for media facades by regular citizens, even if they lack coding skills, thus enabling self-expression and a greater diversity in public media art creation.","PeriodicalId":400834,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Media Architecture Biennale Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123042187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
