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.
CONCEPT Energy-Saving Lighting System can be implemented on long corridors as well as public spaces of transit which have low motion density and constant lighting is profligate. The initiation of light follows people’s passing and, using the readout from two ultrasonic sensors, the luminance depends on the proximity of people to the power source, the … Read more
The intention of this project was to use two sensors (sound and distance) to ultimately activate a single motor. A sound sensor is first used to trigger an LED. If the LED was previously off, then it is activated. In this case, the distance sensor is also activated.Based on the distance detected, a motor is … Read more
Concept This project has been inspired by the mechanism of Automatic Doors. Automatic doors respond to the movement in front of the activation sensors which opens and closes the door. This mechanism has been replicated in this Arduino project with the help of an Ultrasonic Sonic Sensor and Servo Motor. The LEDs have been used … Read more
CONCEPT The project aims to operate a smart water pump device that can be used in domestic, commercial, and agricultural applications. It has sensors that are switching outputs on and off according to the requirement and monitor the water level in a tank or well. Reducing and optimizing the usage of water, energy and time. … Read more
Concept The goal I set for myself was to create a little Mini-Game on the 8×8 Matrix display that is controlled with a joystick. Inspired by classics like Tetris, the goal is to move a seemingly falling point into the gap that randomly generates at the bottom of the display. After each successful iteration the … Read more
The idea of project was to create a system with ultrasonic sensor, which detects a subject within specifyied distance and ligths up the LEDs in predetermined order. There are two options of output (two codes): the light is moving from LED to LED or they lighten up gradually, so when the object is next to … Read more
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
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
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
Using the SONAR sensor as the main detector . But the default range of the sensor is too small (15 degrees only), so adding a SERVO which controls by a JOYSTICK can allow the system to have more coverage area. If something (enemy) is approaching a certain distance, the SONAR sensor will turn on a … Read more
Abstract The concept behind this simple prototype is to monitor the level of soil moisture, making use of a sensor to be inserted into the soil that will then monitor it. In the situation where the hydration is poor an input will be sent to a buzzer, which will produce an acustic signal, highlighting the … Read more
Sunfollower is a project inspired by the movement of sunflowers. Solar panels are normally positioned towards the cardinal point with the greatest solar incidence, but throughout the day a lot of energy is lost by this fixed positioning. The idea is to create a public installation, a mixture of a public lamppost, with benches where … Read more
Concept: Interactive LEDs is a prototype for a wall that utilizes Ultrasonic sensors and Sound modules from Arduino to create a responsive light installation that allows individuals to interact and engage with it. Sound modules constantly check for any type of sound variation and as soon as an individual make one near the wall, ultrasonic … Read more
CONCEPT The concept of the project was to create a system that detects solar radiation throughout the day and adjusts the facade angle accordingly to keep the internal area of the building cool and shaded using a Photoresistor. Also, at the same time to prevent the rainwater from coming inside the building using a water … Read more
