I feel the work has been completed correctly. I still felt out of context … But thanks to sport, I suddenly felt integrated !!! Like this man:

Yes, I am actualy talking about football, I cycled down in the streets of Madrid full of happyness to share with everyone! PODEMOS!!! ESPANOL!! ESPANA!!! IT JUST FELT SO GOOD, SO RIGHT !!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Look at the video below : Spain 1, Germany 0, just imagine the happyness in Madrid, imagine…

The station construction is completed… Now it all looks so simple!

An astronaut ready for launching.

Here is the space station!

How it looks inside, it is a small crowed space, looks better in video, soon.

That’s a lazy astronaut!

Unfortunately it was not allowed to take pictures of our own work during the launching, we will do a proper filming session soon + video.

]

Tonight was the VIP launch, I think it was very successful, people
were surprised, interested, and honnestly that was a lot of people for a night the Spanish football team plays a quarter-final of Euro, 3-0 against Russia, Madrid was just mad tonight, most people were as naked and nervous as me in the streets! heheheh!

The construction was very intense today… tired! Everything has to be done tomorow, big time! I’m quite impressed how disorganised the construction was, but somehow it seems that we are going to make it happen… put it together with some spanish magic perhaps.

Here are the people of our team who made this possible! Without these guys to hold the tubes, without thes many clever hands, wouldn’t have been possible … OOAAAAHHH OYASUMI!!!

The aquaponic circuit is ready to hang up onto the structure !

The station is being skinned up ! Woaahhh! It’s coming up!

Now we have the legs done! Now,… walk!

In order to make obvious the connections between the station and human we need to link them physically,the one we are interested the most are the air, urine (piss) and feces (shit) managment. I made some researches and found some good existing products for breathing system:

Even a baby can tolerate such an “invasive” apparel, the people in the station could as well, but reduces the mobility. Now about Urine:

For the urine and feces I found this amazing ressource: Urine and Bowel Management for children with Spinal Cord Injury and Spina Bifida, Copyright © 1987 by David Werner for the Hesperian Foundation, “Disabled Village Children” project.

Also truck drivers have some sort of solution to that problem, in a truck driver style, hahaha!

We learn how to use a catheter or how to make one ourself the DIY way. The urinary is not that difficult, but the system for feces as it is semi-solid is more challenging…

I found this type of equipment searching for bowel managment. The process depends a lot on the quality of the human feces, according to the Bristol Chart below.

Woooo,,, this project, starts to scare me a little bit huhuhuhu!…… And how to find all this equipment in Madrid?..
And, don’t forget to drink a lot!

Today I waited for the meeting with the scientists to happen, and I waited, and I waited … So I decided to enjoy myself learning 3D with sketchup! Whaaaat ???!!! You haven’t downloaded it yet???!!! It’s free, it’s amazingly simple, it’s google, I did all the video tutorials today, I am not a pro at all, but I see things in 3D now! I do dream in 3D in a nice simple interface, aaaaaaaaaahhhhh soo good, so much fun …

So, you know how naughty I am, when I have this much, I want much more… I want

SketchyPhysics for mac!!! Please develop it, Google, I know you hear me, I am not the only one, pleaaase!

Waaah, I’m almot crying looking at this video, so great!!! PIANO!!
Ah, of course, for those who can’t wait [like I], enjoy SODACONSTRUCTOR, by soda.co.uk, amazing as well, java, free, download for both mac and PC. If you want to know more about computer physic engine, check out the wikipedia article, and more geekerie here about procedural Design for the tough ones (wiki of the students from North Carolina State University, well done).

Oh, and of course, before I forget “Morphogenesis: Shaping Swarms of Intelligent Robots“, IRIDIA code of the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, amazing.

Now in your mind combine the [ Sketchyphysics + swarm intelligence robotics + some light-weight powerfull graphic engine like open GL on a minimal operating system like symbian ] …IMAGINE!

ooops, 6:20 AM, time to sleep!

“A study of Fanger’s formulation shows that an increase in relative humidity is ALWAYS perceived as a warmer sensation. It seems to be contradicted by experience at low temperatures and high relative humidities..” Research by ROSET, J. (1); MARINCIC, I.; OCHOA, J.M.; SERRA , R. (2), Dpt. Construccions Arquitectòniques I - ETSAB (UPC), Barcelona.

So these are the relations we can easily sense and affect, the interactions. But as I explained my research to Angel Borrego Cubero, he explained me, I did not fully understand yet, or I presented the system too unfolded:

The system are on inside the other, the universe contains the solar system, we are interested in the sun, the moon and the earth, a building, the Urban Space Station, the plants and the human inside. The relation first described as parasitic between the Urban Space Station is NOT, it is a symbiotic relation since both actors are interested in the relation.

The installation aim is to convey an image of equilibrium, not of a dramatic dependence, a sense of comfort and curiosity should arise over a first-sight mysterious shape.

To make the relations between the element obvious it could be as simple as wiring together the elements, isolating the relations from “noise”, enabling precise measures too. A visitor could be located in the structure (green figure), being wired he would benefit from a constantly renewed quality of living : breathing OUT his oxygen-poor air at the entrance of the station, breathing IN the enriched air at near the exit. Even the surveillance guard of the museum could reclaim the use of the USS to enhance his/her working conditions! hehehe!

The interacting visitor could have a symbiotic relation to the station could also be located out of the station (red figure), but it would make a very different statement and would cause hygenic hazards with many visitors…

In my mind the symbiotic relation has to be extended  and made as obvious as possible, from the universe to the plant or human, not to remain a fancy greenhouse, let’s wire it up, so we can measure and make a study of the controlled environment, a true Space Station

Aristotelian conception of the universe that preceded the models of Copernicus and Thomas Digges.

The USS is a symbolic representation of our universe, yet If a human was to act as a part of the organism, he shouldn’t be associated with the biblical figure of Adam (without Eve unfortunately!) but as a “neutral” living organism within a bigger organism.

Also the objects that we use to wire up the different actors can look really good and make the whole concept very self-explanatory.

good night day 2!

As far as I understood, we are not going to show the whole thing, but more a model of the system, just a model to explain the system. There will not be 2 structures, but one communicating with the outside; the air system of the pillows and the air system of the greenhouse rotation are distinct. So my task isn’t clearly defined : functional engineering or just prop’ / system explaination with nice graphics? Well, it is up to me, if I come up with a great system that is simple to implement, than we can do it, else, we’ll just carry on and try to build this as well as possible.

Ok, I need to make it simple, show the circuit that holds all the variables :

Ok, if this is to be re-used, I need to make it look good, and more clear:

Ok, great, now everything is as clear as a subway system map. We can sense and control each “line” running between the World - the Urban Space Station - Human, it quantity, quality, even nature, the following post will contain proposals of apparatus, BUT …

THE ARCHITECTURE IS JUST MAKING LIFE FUNCTION OBVIOUS (protecting, extending the human Body limits, embodying functions in technical objects, isolating and specialising objects)…
- HOW OBVIOUS DO WE WANT TO GET?
- HOW MUCH DO WE WANT TO MANIPULATE AND CONTROL (when change and difficulty is engine of progress and evolution, where is optimization? That’s an ethical and/or political statement, and as it it not my work, what should be my influence
- HOW FAR CAN BE THE ARCHITECTURE (in its obviousness) BE CHANGED FROM THE ORIGINAL PROJECT (optimized, functions made obvious) EXTENSION OF THE ARCHITECTURE DOMAIN? LET’S MAKE MORE THAN A GREEN HOUSE -> TOWARD MEDICAL AND AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY?.

We are eternally computing with the universe so … OK, let’s make a list of tecnical artefact proposals that could optimize the system functions, may it be ironical…
