Motion Capture
Very
much inspired by the work of Viennese architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, students work with gestural and ergonomic motion
of people in space as a design tool. Instead of Architects Data from Nuefert in 1936, which is driven by standardized architectural
elements, we will develop a library of human movement patterns from motion capture for use in building design without the
assumption of off-the-shelf components or typologies.
Students were given three business
requirements for the physical environment along with an inventory of assets used for the transformation of goods and materials.
The business requirements define the processes and activities that happen in a building and landscape space with benchmarks
for time spent by team members at various stations. The assets include machinery for fabricating, assembling, packaging and
shipping, finishing, and other processes. Some assets are organic and some inorganic from animals to fabricated materials.
