Referense and list of Precendents is until now a confused mess of interesting pictures in books. I´ll try to put them in some order and present them here by category. First out are two interactive systems.
These two projects both gave me a spontanious lust for what I´ve chose to work with in my thesis. One is very straight forward interactive with music, but probably contains very sophisticated computer programming. The other works with an algae to shade sunlight through photosynthesis which is a very interesting idea. The both projects are similar in that they both use ready-made elements to make the structure. That is both cheap and means that if they are temporary installations the building elements might returned to be used what they were designed for after the disassemblage of the structure, which is very appealing to me.
Kubik Berlin
A great project in it´s complexity within a simple shape is a temporary installation made by Modulorbeat. Kubik was an outdoor club in Berlin in 2006. Translucent industrial containers, lit from within and programmed to pulse with the music.

STEM
Interactive with nature is STEM by ecoLogic Studio, shown at Venice Architecture Biennale in 2006. STEM is a wall of bottles, filled with a photosynthesizing algae, that formes a sunscreen, that also produces oxygen.
