*Lloyd* 

Using agents in a more integrated manner, to produce a liquid system.

relation to Yokahama.<br>

surfacing - touch agents leaving traces - surface modulations and texturing.<br>
working on sounds agents and light agents - in terms of operability

site: southbank buildings - like picturesque pavillions - views of worked into agent model

liquid language<br>

*Ben*

CA is a field; run on an open grid or scaffold through which any formation could potentially emerge: bodies moving over a field<br>
a distributed field of clusters<br>
CA: dynamic effects of the interactions between bodies<br>

write a recipe - or rule system<br>
maintain the act of bodies dynamically interacting across dimensions of the project <br>
the landscape being part of the interactions between bodies rather than interactions occuring in a landscape.<br>


*Lloyd*

site - the entire length - stretch scheme out betweent the two bridges.

the biting surface - carving the surface into depth

alhambra, granada

using: maya - plugin bugs
water lines  intersecting with sensory lines

relationship between lines and curves paramount

form follows phenomena

a series or sequential arrangement is inevitable

DRAW 



**22nd March**

*Lloyd*

- arbitrary < [emergence] > cause and effect

emergence - where no clear cause and effect can be found; a complex dynamic system<br> 
differented systems at play:<br>

program <br>- bubble diagram (way of understanding organisation) <br>- associations (water, information, fluidity....)
<br>

site <br>
- site diagram (analysis - ways of understanding it)<br>
- sounds?

thought<br>
- movement - motion - animation - kinetics - (proposition - precedent)<br>
- affective spatial-material matrix (mode of composition)<br>

*Ben*

- the spiral as overall form - a portion of which is figured; problematic.<br>
- make the meshes work with the site at a local level.

suggestions:

- take the clustering process to a smaller scale - to generate building parts rather than large areas of overall form.

- differentiate: types of clusters/ different streams, intensity of meshes, stretching of meshes

(maybe look at: d'arcy thompson: on growth and form)


**15 March**

*Lloyd*<br>
- categories of dynamics: movement>animation, motion>kinetics<br>
- streams of precedent and their relations to the categories of dynamics<br>
- project being to reconcile historically divergent attentions to motion/movement<br>

- fairy paths;  carry movement/qualitative information + track motion paths<br>
what happens next??? (including folding in programmatic issues)

*Ben*<br>
-  to plow into lots of tests re cellular automata process
- how to characterise the rules within the process?


**11 March**

*Lloyd*
- 'fairy' movements across site: heading toward 'affective tone fairies'
- table of environmental affects and tonal range

- mapping the gradients - distinguish different lines.
- reverse programming (>test)
- qualitative description
- contour - tone diagrams??

- push the intended/imagined process as far as possible to reverse programming stage (even if just a portion of the site)
- revisit research statement.

*Ben*

- move back to cellular automata. site on flinders - spring. 2200 m sq

- more tests: the rules, starting points, the question of the loop.
- how is the process embodied? - or qualitatively embedded + how does it make sense. 

- qualitative description
- revisit research statement (?)

- program as layer of information? - cellular automata being one LAYER of evolutionary activity - other layers, like program, evolve the scheme.




**1st March**

*Ben*

- impermanence, ephemerality, moving on.<br>

pre-major: dance, camouflage, cellular automata, data mapping, 

cellular automata: operate at a different scale, introduce materiality.

Dominique Perrault? mirrors in landscape

Dining Hall - open feeding facility/sitting, chilling out, meditating area. Eating. <br>
indoor + outdoor space. toilet block

*Lloyd*




**26th Feb 04**

*Ben*

Move to want to shift project to sound.
- discussion about the problems with representation and acoustics.

- explore modes/technique of working with acoustics - parameters, methods, representation.

- again at the look MetabolistS

- look back at earlier pre-major work.


*Lloyd*

site  - by birrarung marr?
public exposure aspect
possibility of distributed site, linked by water flow.

information  - 
saturation, flow

Barcelona pavillion - fluid spatiality
pattern.

water environments - 

the 4 catergories: motion, movement, animation, kinetics

foreground the nonsymbollic, implicit, tactile appropriation aspects of arch over narrative, symbollic aspects - ?

this week: <br>
time at site<br>
practicing rendering - experiments with non-realist rendering techniques.  <br>
design tests re information
