In the chase for the optimal living environment architects are rejecting the rigid forms of the past and are designing the adaptable buildings in order to better suit the needs of the occupants and adapt to ever changing environment we live in. In this workshop we are going to make such adaptive structure in form of an installation. Participants are going to go through steps of designing the structure and elements and their preparation for fabrication. Alongside the design workshop will focus on writing the Arduino code necessary for controlling the sensors and the structure. The result of the workshop will be the installation assembled and tested by the participants.
