The Impact of Sociomaterials on Architectural Learning Processes in Virtual and Physical Design Studios
Since architectural education has been integrated into academic campuses, the design studio has become its most prominent pedagogical approach. However, in the last three decades, advances in computer-aided design (CAD) and online communication led to the development of virtual design studio (VDS) formats, which gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic. VDS and physical design studio (PDS) are characterized by different sociomaterial enviro…
Dynamics of artistic style
The artistic style has been extensively discussed within diverse perspectives, usually studying the physical qualities of existing artifacts as the resource for investigation. This paper proposes a novel analysis of the dynamics of artistic style, as represented by a set of motor features, techniques, and their temporal interplay. The researchers hypothesize that unique characteristics of individuals’ styles are represented as transitions between…
The Choreography of the Creative Process
This article provides a new perspective on the contribution of computers to visual art, exploring how the visual product’s aesthetic qualities and the making process itself can render a hybrid artistic outcome. A medium that unifies the physical product with the spirit of the making process has innovative potential for computational artistic practice. The article demonstrates various techniques to visualize artists’ motor performance in activitie…
Destruction, Catharsis, and Emotional Release in Human-Robot Interaction
The intersection between social, technical, and economic factors biases new product development to focus on utilitarian value. However, objects that serve alternative goals, behaviors and emotions have accompanied humankind for millennia. This article speculates about robotic objects for one non-utilitarian behavior and its implications: destruction. Robots and objects for destruction have a shared history of embodiment and heavily rely on their …

Hybrid Craft
This article introduces the Hybrid Craft exhibition, positioning 15 hybrid projects in the context of today’s Maker culture. Each project demonstrates a unique integration of contemporary making practice with traditional craft. The presenters in the show represent a wide range of professional backgrounds: independent makers, students and teachers, designers associated with research institutes, and commercial organizations. The background of Hybri…
Hybrid Reassemblage
Digital fabrication, and especially 3D printing, is an emerging field that is opening up new possibilities for craft, art and design. The process, however, has important limitations; in particular, digitally designed artifacts are intrinsically reproducible. In stark contrast, traditional craft artifacts are individually produced by hand. The authors combine digital fabrication and craft in their work involving object destruction and restoration:…

The 3D Printed Flute
This paper considers the controversy of modern acoustic instruments, which may have come to an evolutionary impasse, due to its high standardization that makes it difficult to explore design modifications. A new approach for the design and fabrication of an acoustic instrument is presented, using digital fabrication technologies, and specifically 3D printing, which has the potential to influence new designs, and to lead to new acoustics and ergon…
Cornucopia
The authors present a new concept of digital gastronomy-Cornucopia, a futuristic cooking methodology based on digital technologies. They discuss how they have merged kitchen tools with science fiction and actual technologies to create this new design space for gastronomy. The Virtuoso Mixer, the Digital Fabricator and the Robotic Chef were conceptualized to enable more flexibility and control over each of the most important elements of cooking: m…
