This is a project by students at AA, Inter 10, Run by Ecologic Studio. 
It´s interactive in a very direct and beautiful way I think, since you, by your weight, move air from undernetah you into a structure to generate movement.
Since I was imagining something more or less exactly like this (but maybe not that complex..) with my balloonexperiment I was staring in the beginning of this week, I was a bit sad it was already done. Anyway, Ricardo showed me this project and it was very interesting to see this, so I posted it on the blog. Think I´ll continue my experiment on monday to see if that turns out differently.

Unknown creator
I find this experiment on robotic muscle to be very architectural and inspiring. Can´t understand who is the maker nor the context, but I very much like the way it moves/compresses. Think It is accomplished with wire in some way. Interesting to experiment around if I will work on screens or a roof.
Philip Beesley
Next. Detail of Orgone Reef (by the way one of the most inspiring precedents for my work) by Philip Beesley showing a similar compression as the one above. Think I will return several times on Beesleys work.

AA Live Lecture by R & Sie(n) François Roche www.new-territories.com
It just happend that I visited the Green Architecture For The Future exhibition at Louisiana this week and saw the ”Thing Which Necroses” – project by , also shown at the lecture. It is a prototype of a building that be built in Stockholm next year. A building that dies.
The idea biomass structure that dies through the effects of the local environment. I look forward to the full-scale one.
Robotic Architecture of R & Sie(n)
The strong fascination of the machine is expressed by Roche in many parts of the lecture. The “Olzweg”-project feels very close to what I see my project could be. Here a robotic mastermind is stacking pieces av glass, a bit randomly, to make this, what I understand as a extension for a museum in France.
In my mind a robot like this will be stacking along with people allready using the building it is constructing. The robot has to take notion of their activities and adjust its building process. This could be interesting.

Scaffolding is often used in temporal constructions such as stages and pavillions, but seldom with as beautiful result as this. Just as I was getting bored with scaffolding structures I came across this Pavillion for XVI Chilean Architecture Biennale, by Felipe Assadi on ArchDaily.

Perforated aluminium strips are woven between the horizontal bars make the covering. I really love the atmosphere of the interior from the pictures and I will not discard the use of a scaffolding structure for now.

These posts will contain examles of complete structures or structural elements that I find interesting. These are or can be reintepreted as being temporary or ephemeral, or at least easy to disassemble.

Bridges Enschede
A concrete bridge by the dutch Next Architects, supported by piers of stones in steel cages. Beautiful simplicity I think, old technique. I can these piers being foundation in an ephemeral structure, but combined with what?
Construction Box Table and Pocket Models
The most simple constructions are also the ones I find most beautiful. That´s why I post this table, also by Next Architects
.
As simple is the assemlage of my Star Wars Pocketmodels! Once put together they fit really hard by the spring pressure of the thin foamboard they are made of. This simplicity is something I want to strive for in my ephemeral construction.

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.
