The MAA is a visionary master program with an innovative and open structure, mixing diverse disciplines, shaping professionals capable of producing theoretical & practical solutions towards responsive cities, architecture & technology.
Natural ventilation system Concept The aim of the project is to program a system for the natural ventilation of facilities with constant problems with high humidity level and temperature such as SPA centers, aquatic sport centers etc. Additionally it would control the air quality and congestion and thereafter automatically control the airflow between the inside … Read more
Introduction to Programming and Physical Introduction Concept My student colleagues from Valldaura having their own yard where they grow vegetables. Due to the various species of animals, such as wild boars and rabbits they have big casualties of the harvest. This Sonar- Alarm starts to work a when the sun sets and the LDR-Sensor overcomes … Read more
The idea of the project was to create an intruder alert system that senses a subject/intruder within the specified distance. As soon as an object (intruder) comes within the specified distance the Red LED will turn on along the Buzzer, informing of the presence of an intruder. The sensor in this case used is the … Read more
Introduction to Physical Computing-Term I CONCEPT : The basic concept of the project was to use the servo motor, ultrasonic sensor & sound sensor. With the ultrasonic sensor the distance of an object will be detected and the servo motor will rotate from 0 to 90 degree and the door opens .Then the sound sensor … Read more
Concept The idea of this project is to develop a system that will help to create a more comfortable environment within a room. The sensors monitor the light, air gases and proximities. Within this signals the motors will be activated to execute a certain job like being able to open and close the door when … Read more
Abstract The project goal is to create a prototype of outdoor space – the terrace equipped with a canopy, which automatically closes when it starts to rain. The lights turn on when the canopy closes and there is no natural light in the room. If a person enters inside, the lights turn on the party … Read more
CONCEPT The project focuses on Automating cooling based on room temperature. When the Room’s Temperature is above or equal to 25 degree Celsius the fans are automatically switched on to cool the room. BILL OF MATERIALS DIGITAL PROTOTYPE PROTOTYPE WORKING VIDEO
CONCEPT The concept of this setup is to notify when an object is approaching at different distant points LED lights will notify how close the object is by turning off individual light which are set at specific distance, as the object is closer to the desired point. As soon as it reaches the desired point … Read more
Concept The aim of the project is to develop as lighting system that will be responsive and interactive to its surrounding people’s movements. And to make that happen, I have used the ultrasonic sensor as a proximity sensor to measure the distance of people and their movements. As a next step of this project, we … Read more
Safety Detectors on Helmets for Motorcyclists, Bikers and Skaters. The Smart Helmets aim at providing Safety to Motorcyclists, Bikers and even Skaters, to avoid crashing into a car or any object by detecting the distance of the object and light intensity from cars or other vehicles and alerting the rider with the help of buzzers … Read more
concept “Let’s make some noise to activate non-places!” is a project that aims to bring light and life for public places which could be potentially called as non-places in the cities. It is important to mention that non-places once was defined by Marc Augé (1994:72) as a space that can not be defined as identity, relational, … Read more
LED CHASE USING JOYSTICK LED CHASE The project intends to create a chase representing a snake and food chase game. Where we can direct the orientation using X and Y axis and increase or decrease the speed in which the animations makes the snake move by pushing or pulling in the same direction.
Federico Lacasia – Final Assignment22/23 MAA01 Introduction to Programming and Physical Computing CONCEPT The concept for this project is to create a tangible way of monitoring the light and moisture level of my plants.By using an LCD display, a light sensor, and a soil humidity sensor and connecting it to the arduino I was able … Read more
By Reza Ghafouri Concept The main idea of the project is designing a system that responses to the sun direction. A solar panel acts the most efficiently when its position changes according to the location of the sun and remains perpendicular to the source of light. In this project two light sensors (LDR) are situated … Read more
