Inspired by recent developments in architecture around the topic of discreteness and the movement that emerged around fab labs, Project DisCo was created as an immersive sandbox game for playful co-design of modular structures. This paper investigates the potential of Project DisCo as a design tool for participatory projects at the scale of public...

The preparation of food usually follows a recipe towards a tasty dish. While such a recipe is usually just a guideline for the person cooking a meal for themselves or family, it was sometimes raised to the status of a chemical formula in Taylorist modernism, leading to repeatable dishes branded as trademarks of food franchises. (Preble, 1993) But t...

Current excursions within architectural research are exploring the potential of discrete design strategies at different scales. Starting with the introduction of the Great Invention Kit (GIK) and the subsequent development of reversible 3D printing processes based on “digital materials” at the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms [1] similar concepts of a...

The Internet of Things (IoT) currently grows with great momentum offering the potential of virtually endless opportunities for new applications and services in the “Smart Home” context. Yet, regardless of the tremendous efforts made by the relevant research & development community, application development is still a very complex and error prone pro...
