Abstract

This paper presents a research of the relationship between architecture and context applied to the development of a sensitive pavilion that receives data from live sensors, responds and adapts in real time, generating a biunivocal resilience between the architectural object and the context. The research is developed through the integration between processes of digital morphogenesis, parametric-generative design, Arduino, sensors, input and output devices that connect data and matter, programming and digital fabrication. The result is a pavilion designed and manufactured digitally, whose morphology comes from the relationship between its internal rules of conformation, generated with algorithms and the matter, that makes it autopoietic, in addition to the relationship with the outside; all based on the behaviors of proximity and mimesis. The pavilion, through sensors, receives data from the environment and reacts with changes of colors and form; which allows it to transcend from the concept of the architectural object as a static and closed entity, developing and fully expressing the idea of the project as a system.
