Abstract

We present Orkhēstra, an interdisciplinary project set out as a collaboration between architects, computer scientists, media façade designers and an LED manufacturer to find novel ways of seamlessly integrating architectural forms and digital media. Our research interest is based on the circumstance that architects and designers might not always be able to prototype even early instantiations of interactive media architecture in a timely way, and explore the design opportunities that these systems provide, because till today methods and tools in this domain are hardly available and they still demand very high technical expertise. To address these issues we created this installation using custom made prototyping tools that help to co-design and pre-test interactive media façade installations in conjunction with potential users in their environment.
