Interactive technologies

The interactive workshop is oriented towards exploring the possibilities of the way we think about materials, technologies and design. Here we will design a form or material that is reactive as well as responsive in nature. It will explore the notions of adaptability and interactivity in architecture & design and aims to expand beyond the use of the computer and digital fabrication into robotics, electronics, and physical computing platforms. Sensing and Interactive technologies in architecture and design aim to highlight the process of design and through that what can be achieved with the help of integration of technologies in it.

The interactive workshop goes into establishing physical and digital connections leveraging operational flexibility and fluidity using Grasshopper. The workshop will strive to highlight intelligence in systems and pose the problem of multiple contradicting parameters in digital design.

The workshop will focus on creating physical interactive prototypes responding to certain parameters or information. Grasshopper and plugin Firefly paired with Arduino Board’s computing platform will be introduced to participants as possible tools for experimentation.

Structure of the interactive technology workshop

Participants will get to experiment upon sensors and actuators with the help of the Arduino board and visual programming in Grasshopper. A 3D form created using Rhinoceros and Grasshopper will be used to emulate the data taken from sensors. Each topic will be presented with both theoretical introduction and practical application. In the afternoon of the second day, participants will split into groups to develop their own projects, with direct supervision by the tutors, and towards their last day evening presentation.

Classrooms will be conducted at SPARRO Studio, New Delhi

Classroom competitions

Classroom competitions are a part of this series of design and interactive workshops and are meant for all the designers who want to explore their way with hands-on experience to gain skills and create real-world projects. Under this series, you participate in workshops at one of these Micro-studio and get awarded a trophy. In association with UNI, we are now expanding our vision of creating these micro-studios globally with a fusion of online design community and offline classrooms. This fusion will help us in combining different ideologies and diverse interactive methodologies, to create a continuum that links ideas such as exploration, debate and collaboration at a global level to understand and create ‘Architecture of Everything.

EDUpass

EDUpass is a pass that can be used to participate in any workshop in this series (registration to be done 3 days prior to the commencement of the workshop). Multiple EDUpasses can be purchased and used in a group to attend a single workshop or a single participant can register for multiple workshops. For example, If you had purchased 6 passes, you can register for 6 different workshops or bring along 5 other friends/colleagues with you to attend a single workshop of your choice.

How does it work?

A Participant can purchase as many passes as he/she wants and 1 PASS permits entry to any 1 workshop and classroom competition of his/her choice.

UNI is a global network of architects and designers who are solving some of the most challenging problems around the globe. UNI brings together the world's largest pool of design challenges that are curated by the finest architecture academicians and professionals globally. With over 200,000+ registered members, UNI brings academia and professional spheres of architecture together through a unique knowledge-sharing web platform. 

Since 2017, UNI has hosted more than 200+ architecture competitions for various idea level to realization level briefs. In the past, UNI has helped 50+ organizations, universities, and government bodies to use our platform to generate architecture and design solutions through competitions.

UNI aims to create a seamless information exchange within the architecture industry with this one-of-a-kind community. It foresees a future where architects and consumers are getting real-world design deployed over the internet through sophisticated software and applications from anywhere in the world.
