Our aim is to create an expandable tool capable of support architecture students with the development of notions about electronic systems, digital interactions and the incorporation of uncertainties in design. The theoretical framework of the research is here presented-discussing design, ethics, Second-Order Cybernetics and knowledge construction theories. Also, precedent work on construction kits are introduced for critical analysis and comparison. We concluded our paper with a possible application in an actual educational setting.

Thus, discussing different arrangements of this specific lab concept, the paper presents an ongoing experience about an interface between a hackerspace and an educational laboratory within the Department of Architecture and Urbanism at the Federal University of Santa Catarina.

The Tarrafa Hacker Club members shared their collaborative environment with the students and tutors throughout the academic experiment. The hacker culture highlighted dynamic relations that connect people, information, tools and matter. This approach has suggested meaningful speculations about the future of architecture education and practice.

In two different semesters, students designed and constructed proposals for ephemeral and interactive small-scale spatial interventions using physical computing. The Tarrafa Hacker Clube members shared their collaborative environment with the students and tutors throughout these academic experiments. The dynamic infrastructure of the hackerspace introduced relevant methods and ethics for this collaborative and transdisciplinary work. This hybrid approach suggests meaningful possibilities for the future of architecture education and practice.

It is precisely the "can do" mentality of the hacker, naive as it may sometimes be, that we need to nurture everywhere.

Tais práticas dão indícios de uma mudança na produção arquitetônica contemporânea, que passa a utilizar modos operacionais da arte pública para agir diretamente sobre a cidade -transitando por conceitos como land art e instalações site-specific. A isso se somam o surgimento de novas tecnologias e lógicas de criação colaborativas que se incorporam na produção de intervenções para discutir, criticar e fazer proposições sobre o espaço urbano. Neste artigo apresentamos uma experiência desenvolvida em uma disciplina do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina que resultou na instalação Relational Space #1. Essa instalação interativa foi concebida a partir da discussão sobre o contexto do local escolhido com a análise e apropriação de conceitos estabelecendo pon...

We use the digital tools available to create new physical and virtual territories which are the supports for our activities and needs. Concepts like open source and crowdsourcing are manifestations of our unceasing search for adaptation. Within this context architects, designers and other cultural producers are seen as fosterers of projects with which, besides contributing with their specific skills, they can also investigate, invent and take alternative courses of action.
Our proposal is a reaction against this context created by countless forces. We develop our discourse around three elements - money, time and space – to suggest an empowering engine, a way to take control, or simply a survival strategy. We propose to create a currency associated with time, a mediating digital platform and physical infrastructures supporting the productive activities. Someone’s time is counted by the digital system linked to the physical platforms which compose a complex system spread throughout the city.

Utilizamos as ferramentas digitais disponíveis para criar novos territórios físicos e virtuais, suporte de nossas atividades e necessidades. Conceitos como Open source e crowdsource são manifestações de nossa busca incessante por adaptação. Arquitetos, designers e outros produtores culturais são vistos, nesse contexto, como fomentadores de projetos com os quais, além de contribuir com suas habilidades específicas, podem, também pesquisar, inventar e utilizar formas alternativas de ação.Nossa proposta representa uma reação frente a esse contexto desenhado por inúmeras forças. Articulamos nosso discurso em torno de 3 elementos: dinheiro, tempo e espaço, para sugerir um mecanismo de empoderamento, uma forma de assumir o controle, ou simplesmente uma estratégia de sobrevivência. Propomos a criação de uma moeda associada ao tempo, uma plataforma digital para sua mediação e infraestruturas físicas para servirem de suporte às atividades produtivas. O tempo de alguém é contabilizado pelo sistema digital vinculado às plataformas físicas que compõem um sistema complexo espalhado pela cidade.

Tais práticas dão indícios de uma mudança na produção arquitetônica contemporânea, que passa a utilizar modos operacionais da arte pública para agir diretamente sobre a cidade -transitando por conceitos como land art e instalações site-specific. A isso se somam o surgimento de novas tecnologias e lógicas de criação colaborativas que se incorporam na produção de intervenções para discutir, criticar e fazer proposições sobre o espaço urbano. Neste artigo apresentamos uma experiência desenvolvida em uma disciplina do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina que resultou na instalação Relational Space #1. Essa instalação interativa foi concebida a partir da discussão sobre o contexto do local escolhido com a análise e apropriação de conceitos estabelecendo pontos de contato com trabalhos já consagrados ou de relevância emergente no campo da intervenção urbana, como DUNE do Studio Roosegaade, Project Blinkenlights do Chaos Computer Club e Phanton Raillings do Public Interventions. Nessa prática o foco se desloca do resultado final para a construção processual e conceitual de um discurso sobre a cidade. A realização dessa experiência demonstrou o potencial da apropriação da arte pública como um dispositivo de ação para a expansão do campo da arquitetura. A inserção desse tipo de processo no ensino de arquitetura é capaz de traçar mudanças na maneira como futuros arquitetos atuam, participam e criam novas imagens da cidade. Palavras-chave: Arte Pública; Novas Tecnologias; Instalação Interativa; Campo Expandido; Experiência Pedagógica.
