3. •Son-O-house is "a house where sounds live", not being a 'real'
house, but a structure that refers to living and the bodily
movements that accompany habit and habitation.
•Son-O-House is an architectural environment and an interactive
sound installation in one. The work is continuously generating
new sound patterns activated by sensors picking up actual
movements of visitors.

4. •The structure derives from a carefully choreographed set of movements of bodies, limbs
and hands (on three scales) that are inscribed on paper bands as cuts (an uncut area
corresponds with bodily movement, a first cut through the middle corresponds with
limbs, finer cuts correspond with hands and feet).
•These pre-informed paper bands are then stapled together and the curves directly
follow from that. What we then have is an arabesque of complex intertwining lines (white
paper model); we only have to sweep these lines sideways to make it into a three-
dimensional porous structure (purple paper model).
•The analogue
computing model is
then digitized and
remodelled on the
basis of combing and
curling rules which
results in the very
complex model of
interlacing vaults
which sometimes lean
on each other or
sometimes cut into
each other.

6. •Twenty three sensors are positioned at strategic spots to indirectly influence the music.
•The sound generation system is based on spatial interferences and dynamic standing
wave patterns resulting from the combination of speakers.
• As a visitor (slowly becoming an inhabitant because this structure will stay in its place
forever) one does not influence the sound directly, which is so often the case with
interactive art.
•One influences
the landscape
itself that
generates the
sounds.
•The score is an
evolutionary
memoryscape
that develops
with the traced
behavior of the
actual bodies in
the space.

11. D-tower
INTERACTIVE ARCHITECTURE
architect Lars Spuybroek It makes
architecture interactive, where visitors can
transform conditions light and sound
the building using different sensors.
The work presented to him was
the Water Pavilion island Neeltje Jans, the
first to use this new participatory
technique.
This type of architecture defends
a technological revolution where powerful
tools are deployed computing both design
and manufacture.
1. Select a system and create a setting for
the machine based on this selection.
2. Mobilize the elements and relationships
in this system.
3. Consolidate to finally have the system.
4. Result in morphological architecture.

12. SITE
INTERACTIVE TORRE
The D-tower is a hybrid different
media, where architecture
becomes part of a system that
goes beyond the interactive
relationships. It is a project where
human action and feelings
• A physic structure 12m high, where surfaces and columns
share continuity
• A questionnaire
• A website displaying the responses of the people
(Interrelated interactively)
D-tower
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
13. The building is directly connected to the website in two ways:
1. A questionnaire selective certain people
Doetinchem, reflecting the topography and ethnography of the site.
2. A questionnaire daily For the most intense emotion of the inhabitants and
then be represented by a colour in the tower:
• Red- love
• Hate - Green
• Happiness - Blue
• Fear - Yellow
NOX books helps the architect and engineer Frei
Otto to transform a sphere in a vertical
structure, placing a balloon and a bag next to
each other.
D-tower
NOX uses the globe to experience the
sphere deformed by repeated inflation.
SHAPE

14. For the complex geometry of the concave
sphere, the handles are built up with tape and, as the
technique investment Gaudí, is given back, so that the
hanging voltage, remains compressed.
In this way, the tower is not completely
straight but diagonal four legs work like a tripod twisted
that make the object appear to broken both up and down.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
15. Using interactive techniques reminiscent of another
project of Nox, Son-O-House, a design with a
continuous geometry and wrinkled.
Floors, walls and ceilings merge into a
smooth transition.
The form has sinuous complexity and
delicacy, since it is assumed that the aesthetic is an
experience bodily a mental judgment.
The idea is to linear narrowing's forking elements
smaller and smooth mesh, obtaining a
methodological relationship between the geometry of a
single curvature and double:
• The first incisions act as primary structure
(straight and simple arcs)
• The fabric of double curvature acts as shell.
STRUCTURE

16. NOX creates formed from
computer systems. He is
interested in the curves and
what you can do with them,
combining and working with
them graphically and
mathematically. Studies two
methods for drawing irregular
curves:
• The flexi-
curve, based
on the classic
spline
• The French
curve, a type of
curved mold
SURFACES

17. The continuous variation of the mold
it can happen within a certain limit, since a
flexible material is generally weak and not be
able to support the weight of materials like
cement. However, you can use layers with
pockets air allowing flexibility and carrying
considerable loads.
For the D-tower, it is chosen a combination of
styrofoam for mold and epoxy resin making hand
laminated glass fiber.
3D simply follow all numerical data double
curvature.
All panels epoxy resin have flanges that
are stuck together, without the need to reinforce
the surface with a substructure for the tower

18. WEB
"The local informs the global".
The website of D-Tower works in two ways:
1.Fully accessible:
Each day rate from:
• Love . Red
• Hate - Green
• Happiness - Blue
• Fear - Yellow
The prominent emotion is
represented by its color in the
D-Tower.
2• Only with a password:
Each year, 80 people are selected to participate in
an electronic survey their emotions.
The nature of the questions evolve over the year as
starting with very general topics and end up being
more detailed and concrete.
These answers are constantly sent to a graphic
based on the linear representation of
Doetinchem.
Each visitor can see the emotional state
of the city since the work not only shows the status
of the day, but has a large built from the moods of
other years file. K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
