Lost in Translation(findX.exe)- Work in Progress Report


Lost in Translation (findX.exe) is an interactive game that explores language, as a way of seeing. It pays homage to early text based adventure games, from the 1970s (onset of home computing) by situating a physical robot within its world, an embodied version of the player themselves. The objective is to find something hidden, the nature of which is unknown. The robot provides limited textual and visual feedback to the player, as extractions of its environment. While incomplete, they allow the player to use their imagination and weave a physical world through the descriptive power of language.

    The robot sends visual information to Runway ML, a software that allows you to train and use pre-existing machine learning models, that can be run on remote systems. We are using three of these models to read the environment that the robot is situated in. The models help us read the objects, textures, materials and spaces in the environment, based off of the visual information collected on site.

    Wood Urbanism

    Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont...

    Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

    Resim
    But what if there were a way to see gentrification long before the coffee shops, condos and Whole Foods appear? What if city planners and neighborhoods had an early warning system that could sniff out the changes just as they begin? [...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
