From METAMECHANICS to POSTDIGITAL / Homage to Tinguely
Παρουσίαση των σπουδαστικών θεμάτων του μαθήματος Ειδικής Οικοδομικής 9ου εξαμήνου της Σχολής Αρχιτεκτόνων Ε.Μ.Π. - Σχεδιασμός Διάδρασης - Έφαρμογές Arduino - Aναφορά στον Tinguely
Διδακτική ομάδα: Δ.Παπαλεξόπουλος, Α. Καραμούζη, Χ. Τριάντος, Ε. Βουλιούρη, Κ. Μπαλή, Γ. Αδαμόπουλος
« L’art de
la distinction réelle chez Tinguely est obtenu par une sorte de décrochage comme
procédé de la récurrence. Une machine met en jeu plusieurs structures
simultanées qu’elle traverse ; la première structure comporte au moins un
élément qui n’est pas
fonctionnel par rapport à elle, mais qui l’est
seulement dans la seconde. C’est ce jeu, que Tinguely présente comme
essentiellement gai, qui assure le processus de déterritorialisation de la
machine, et la position du mécanicien comme partie la plus déterritorialisée. »

HUM[ERUS]
Open Source Computer Aided Robot. Charalambos Triantos - Eirini Vouliouri
http://humerusrobot.wordpress.com/ "HUM(erus) is a project currently being developed within the context of ATRU - Architectural Technology Research Unit, at the National Technical University of Athens. It refers to a small-scale programmable robotic arm, which functions on the basis of four servo motors, controlled through the Arduino platform. Implementing the main principles of digital fabrication, HUM(erous) envisions to become a hardware tool for designers, capable of performing different tasks and operations, while at the same time being affordable, portable and open-source."

Re-Public The political economy of 3D printing
by Vasilis Kostakis and Michalis Fountouklis
Re-Public The political economy of 3D printing
Dimitris Papalexopoulos "The 3d printing technology fantasy"
"Customisation and variance seem imperative in a fast changing world.
It has been a common assumption during the last decade or two that the world has been shifting towards information- and networked-based structures, with information production in the limelight. During the installation period of the current techno-economic paradigm, based on and led by Information and Communication Technology (ICT), two parallel shifts have taken place: not only did the economically most advanced societies move towards an information-based economy, but the declining costs of ICT also made them available to a much wider part of the world population
This has led to the creation of a new communicational, interconnected and virtual environment from which new social productive models are emerging, which seem to be radically different from the previous industrial ones. These models are being formed by and form, disperse communities of experts and amateurs which collaborate towards the realisation of certain information production projects."Re-Public The political economy of 3D printing

Digital Design Commons
Dimitris Papalexopoulos
Can digital design commons, based on distributed intelligence, help us structure a response to the actual crisis through a low tech - knowledge intensive collaborative perspective? The presentation proposes to reconsider notions related to distributed partial design through a digital commons point of view.
Digital design overflows the limits of isolated works and, through the implementation of open source algorithms, declares its continuous deterritorializations and reterritorializations in a series of projects.
It tends to be ubiquitous and forms a code flow circulating among all possible situated architectural proposals.
Design acquires thus a common character.
Digital Design Commons are pools of a multitude of micro- architecture problem solutions, a multitude of micro - syntaxes covering partial aspects of design, waiting to be actualized in larger design schemes.
They also deny the unique and ultimate “form” in favor of a network’s syntax. They tend to substitute the object’s design with the design of networked multiplicities. Finally, they question the ubiquity of design as an end of work process, linking it to the (local) use value production.
