Architecture / interaction / systems. Wednesday, May 7, 2008. Joseph Ray Watkins founded Watkins Incorporated in 1868 from the kitchen of his home in Plainview, Minn. He began selling red liniment from a horse-drawn wagon, bringing home remedies to rural areas where few doctors practiced. Watkins traveled the world gathering ingredients and spices for use in his natural concoctions. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). University of Manitoba, Faculty of Architecture, Canada.

Architecture / interaction / systems. Saturday, December 8, 2007. 16: teatro delle nozza di cana. Construction of a conical mirror anamorphosis by Fernandino Galli da Bibena. 1731. The next steps of this project are twofold:. 1 To submit a succinct thesis proposal that will guide my next four months of work. 2 To create a theatre for Homunculus. My thesis takes point of departure from an analysis of the conceptualization of space and place in the grotesque. And from the work Hylozoic Soil. Who uses quick...

Architecture / interaction / systems. Monday, April 28, 2008. Upload a Document to Scribd. Read this document on Scribd: Elevator Programming Code. Written by Carlyn Maw and Tom Igoe. The last pages of the .pdf contain the final code used to run the elevators. The elevators preform based on these evolved behaviors which have been programmed into the elevator code and into the elevator's interface. The following pseudo-code depicts the behaviors most interesting to me and most relevant to the site. Gravit...

http://mgartrell.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Architecture / interaction / systems. Sunday, March 30, 2008. The stepper motors are required to lift the elevator cab to the correct floor. The stepper motor's precision makes it an ideal device for achieving accurate precision. A few trial and error tests were required to determine the number of "steps" between floors. A stepper motor does not spin freely on it’s own when connected to a. Current. It is a motor controlled by a series of electromagnetic coils. The. Saturday, March 22, 2008. More digital ...

Architecture / interaction / systems. Wednesday, September 19, 2007. A few minor obsessions. I go up", said the elevator, "or down.". Good," said Zaphod, "We're going up.". Or down," the elevator reminded him. Yeah, OK, up please.". There was a moment of silence. Down's very nice," suggested the elevator hopefully. Good," said Zaphod, "Now will you take us up? May I ask you," inquired the elevator in its sweetest, most reasonable voice, "if you've. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

dedale studio | Homunculus: 25: Elevator Intelligence
http://mgartrell.blogspot.com/2008/03/25-elevator-intelligence.html
Architecture / interaction / systems. Saturday, March 22, 2008. Preliminary Shift Register Test utilizing push button switches. More digital input than the 13 pins of Arduino board can readily handle were required for the elevator interface. Using a parallel to serial shift register allows information to be gathered from 8 or more switches while only using 3 of the pins on your Arduino. The shift registers can be daisy chained together to create an "unlimited" number of switches. View my complete profile.

dedale studio | Homunculus: 27: The Characters
http://mgartrell.blogspot.com/2008/06/27-characters.html
Architecture / interaction / systems. Saturday, June 28, 2008. Two elevators were constructed as characters for my design development. These elevators utilized the stepper motors programmed using an Arduino micro controller and Wiring language to perform the familiar functions of typical elevators. They were also programmed with 8 aberrant behaviors, 3 of which were used to inform the architectural interventions on site. The 3 chosen programming functions (referred to from now on as behaviors) are:.
