_virtual portfolio: Architecture by fiat ludus : marco pastore, valentina sabatelli, pablo velazquez, nilufer kozikoglu, present Leisurator the project - performative and adaptive responsive leisure generator field in the Barbican complex, London, or hyper ludi park project- , made @ architectural association _ design research laboratory, london january / june 2002, tutors: patrik schumacher, brett steele, chris hight, tom verebes. RESPONSIVE ENVIRONMENTS agenda: research on mobile and kinetic architecture. Analysys, performance criteria, exploration, proposal, responsive environments, pre programmed sensitivity, traffic of people, and trajectory, interactive design and process, morphing, tension ruled surface, leisure generator for individuals and groups, new sports, new way of playing, Our project provides a reconfigurable field that engenders a variety of leisure, sport and improvisational activities. This field is programmed with a set of variable configurations, the transformations of which offer emergent conditions suggestive of alternate social organization and cultural dimensions of game-like activities. Borrowing the urban sensibility of skateboarding culture, the design of the structure is informed by the series of temporal sessions, which by repetition over time will provide specific localization. The field structure will respond in two ways to the users. First, the kinetic mechanism will adapt to the existing programs considered as a timeline with environmental parameters. This pre-defines numerous configurations which are inscribed as latent performativities of the surface. Secondly, the adjacencies and relationship in each of these configurations is to catalyze new way of using surfaces, walls and edges of the field, providing both defined boundaries for existing leisure activities (e.g., tennis, jogging, playground), surfaces for non-formalized games (e.g., skating, casual play, etc.), and zones which allow the occupation of space in a game-like manner.

Bari 20 marzo 2004: Mostra di Architettura: 'PERFORMATIVE ARCHITECTURE' Sperimentazione tecnologica e spaziale del network internazionale di architettura ‘Architecture Intelligence’. Spazio-tempo-energia definiscono la performatività dell'architettura dell’Architectural Intelligence. L'installazione multimediale mostra come l'applicazione di criteri eco-compatibili alla progettazione si armonizza creativamente con un'organizzazione spaziale reattiva ai flussi antropici; e documenta le ricerche svolte su prototipi di strutture cinetiche e iper-flessibili, personalizzabili in real-time tramite interfacce virtuali e via internet. Curata da Marco Pastore e Valentina Sabatelli. Galleria espositiva Spazio DATA, Design Architettura e Tecnologie Avanzate, Bari, Piazza Mercantile 75

Bari 20th march 2004. Architectural Exhibition: 'PERFORMATIVE ARCHITECTURE'. Spatial and Technological experimentation by the international architects’ network Architecture Intelligence. Space-time-energy define the performative architecture by the Architecture Intelligence. A multimedial exhibition shows the creative way they apply environmental criteria to the design of highly responsive organizational spaces. It also shows their researchs on prototypes of hyper-flexible kinetic structures, which can be customized on real-time thanks to virtual interfaces.Curated by Marco Pastore and Valentina Sabatelli.
