The main goal of this investigation was to develop a parametric, customizable and adaptive wall system designed for environmental performance. Moreover, the system is based on standard industrial products: expanded cork blocks produced by Amorim Insulation industries. CAD/CAM resources were the essential tools of the research process, where fundamental and practical knowledge is integrated to understand the microstructure morphological properties of the raw materialcorkand its derivatenatural expanded cork. These properties were upscale and adapted to create a wall with an optimized solar control environmental performance. The result is a digitally fabricated prototype of a new customizable industrial product, adaptable to specific environmental conditions and installation setups being therefore easily commercialized. From microstructural morphology to macroscale construction, the research explores new application possibilities through morphogenesis and opens new possible markets for these customizable products.

In this paper, we present the HANCAD and CORATAM projects, which focus on the fundamental challenges related to communication and control in swarms of aquatic drones. We argue for (i) the adoption of a heterogeneous approach to communication in which a small subset of the drones have long-range communication capabilities while the majority carry only short-range communication hardware, and (ii) the use of decentralized control based on self-organization to facilitate inherent robustness and scalability. A heterogeneous communication system and decentralized control allow for the average drone to be kept relative simple and therefore inexpensive. To assess the proposed methodology, we are currently building 25 prototype drones from off-theshelf components. We present the current hardware designs and discuss th...

A heterogeneous communication system and decentralized control allow for the average drone to be kept relatively simple and therefore inexpensive. To assess the proposed methodology, we are currently building 25 prototype drones from off-the-shelf components. We present the current hardware designs and discuss the results of simulation-based experiments involving swarms of up to 1,000 aquatic drones that successfully patrolled a 20 km-long strip for 24 hours.

O presente artigo enuncia os objectivos e os contributos da aplicação da prática da análise morfológica estabelecida no Projecto Urbano, para o período de tempo atrás identificado, procurando estimular uma reflexão acerca da sua oportunidade metodológica e pedagógica para o ensino da arquitectura. Neste sentido, o presente artigo encontra-se estruturado em três partes. Numa primeira parte enunciam-se os objectivos e os conteúdos programáticos do modelo de Análise Morfológica aplicado no Programa Curricular de Projecto Urbano do ISCTE, nos anos lectivos de 2002-2003 a 2006-2007. A segunda parte apresenta um caso de estudo elaborado no ano lectivo 2006-2007, nomeadamente a ‘Análise Morfológica do Plano de Urbanização da Costa do Sol e dos Planos de Aglomerados propostos por Alfred Agache e Étienne de Groër: modelo de implantação, sua inserção no contexto urbano-suburbano à cidade de Lisboa e suas transformações’. A terceira e última parte identifica os principais resultados da prática metodológica e pedagógica aplicada na disciplina de Projecto Urbano no ISCTE, para os anos lectivos atrás referidos. Palavras-chave: Análise Morfológica, Ensino, Arquitectura, Projecto Urbano.

Four prominent guest keynote speakers set the pace of the conference: Manuel Kretzer, Alex Haw, Bob Sheil and Alberto Estévez. Gathering academics, students and designers, a significant set of research and practice works was presented and the interplay between diverse scientific fields was also a strong feature at the conference, with attendants coming from areas such as architecture, design, electronics, mechanics, computer science, biology and sociology. This report summarizes the

Os edifícios de habitação colectiva em estudo foram projectados e construídos nas décadas de 70 e 80 do século XX. São bairros de habitação social organizados em galeria, construídos numa época em que a regulamentação vigente, acerca das questões ambientais e de segurança, era relativamente branda. Podemos hoje encontra-los muito deteriorados, com grandes problemas de segurança, e graves patologias em relação às condições energéticas e ambientais. O enfoque deste artigo prende-se com um conjunto de questões relacionadas com as soluções tipológicas e os aspetos construtivos destes conjuntos, uma vez que consideramos que ambos podem contribuir para a m...

However, at this moment, successful design methods are conditioned to a limited knowledge and ability to emulate nature’s strategies to meet corresponding functional needs. The implementation of biomimetic processes has some major challenges: (1) the search and selection among several databases of appropriate strategies adopted by nature; (2) difficulties in reading, interpreting and translating at different scales; (3) connection problems between concepts and material premises. The selection of nature models is a very common situation among architectural projects. Proof of Concept (PoC) 1.0 was the first experience of application of the Bioshading System Design Method (BSDM). BSDM is a problem-based method that guides its users since the initial architectural challenge definition, improving users’ capabilities to interpret and translate nature str...

Nature maximal performance and minimal resources creations are Humanity inspiration that led us to exceed structural, material, mechanisms, tools, systems and methods boundaries (Oxman, 2010).Nature are the Architect of the most reliable and sustainable systems. Looking into Nature's lessons, this paper presents a Nature-based design methodology conducted during Kine[SIS]tem'17 Shading Systems International Summer School, held by the ISCTE-Instituto Universitario de Lisboa, Portugal, between 19th - 30th June 2017. The methodology encompasses two main stages, one before and other during the Summer School. From a pre-definition of context constrains, a nature based design strategy, to a planning of the manufacture and construction still during the phase of development of the design, conducted the Summer School participants through a defined biomimetic process that achieved the construction of 1:1 scale prototype.

No centro do debate, dois conjuntos urbanos edificados na década de 1970 e de 1980, identificados como bairros de intervenção prioritária, e um conjunto de questões: "A sua actual forma oferece níveis de habitabilidade satisfatórios? Serão estes garantidos pela sua reabilitação? Deverão ser demolidos?" Para delinear cenários, importou o desenvolvimento de um quadro de diagnóstico onde fosse introduzido um conjunto de linhas de investigação ("questões") que alimentava os nossos receios e pressupostos sobre o que deveriam ser estes bairros. São esses pressupostos (sob a forma de quadro de diagnóstico) que entendemos ser necessário trazer a debate na presente comunicação. Por se tratar de um desejo -um conjunto de diferenças à realidade e projectados nessa mesma realidade -desde logo compreendemo-los como conceitos de carácter propositivo: "Quais as soluções tipológicas e construtivas contemporâneas que respondem aos desejos dos moradores, às actuais normas e regulamentos da edificação, e que ainda assim ressalvem os pressupostos do projecto original, sempre que a estes corresponda uma qualidade inequívoca, e a própria identidade do bairro?"
