COMPLEXITY 'SPACE-TIME DIGITAL WATER

I think worthy of 'interest the study by Fabio Lamanna, a civil engineering graduate with a PhD in Transportation Engineering (2008, University of Trieste), and I thought I'd share it with you all.

TIME = net.work: the complexity of space-time transport networks. Fabio Lamanna


Over the past decade the properties 'small world' and 'scale-free' areas of complex systems have been the subject of numerous studies aimed at determining the characteristics common to different types of networks and their dynamics. My passion for social networks and transport networks has led me to investigate topics related to "complex networks", thanks to the illuminating essay by the Hungarian physicist reading Barabasi AL Link. Science of Networks (Einaudi, 2004).
The new mathematical tool that I have developed applies the most common theories related to complex systems to transport networks in terms of temporal characteristics such as, for example, compliance with a timetable or a scheduled service. The case study that I have implemented the most comprehensive tool time = net.work concerns the core network and public transport in Berlin, divided into four different modes: U-bahn, S-Bahn, Regional Bahn Metronetz (Bus and Tram).
In particular, analyzing and displaying the network from a service point of view, the system of Berlin is transformed into a traffic jam "ordered" of connections, each representing a direct link between a node "station" to another. The size of the nodi è direttamente proporzionale alla ‘betweenness’ o ‘medietà’, cioè alla quantità di percorsi minimi (in termini di tempo e frequenze) che li attraversano.

Da questa misura associata ad una nuova misura di efficienza della rete è stato possibile identificare gli elementi chiave necessari a garantire la più completa efficienza nelle comunicazioni tra i nodi della rete.
Le visualizzazioni della rete sono state ottenute dai dati di output di time=net.work e da alcuni comuni software di visualizzazione ‘free’ quali yEd Graph Editor.

Digital Water Pavilion, Zaragoza, Spain

The Digital Water Pavilion (Digital Water Pavilion), proclaimed by Time magazine as "Best Invention of 2007" and was created at the International Exhibition Zaragoza 2008, along the banks of the river Ebro.La structure houses an exhibition area of \u200b\u200b330 square meters and two "boxes" of 12 and 30 square meters respectively, which receive an information center and a cafeteria with a terrace.

"To understand the concept of digital water - said Carlo Ratti, the lead SENSEable City Laboratory at MIT - imagine an inkjet printer on a large scale, capable of controllare le gocce d’acqua che scendono a cascata”.

Le pareti d’acqua che compongono la struttura consistono in una fila di valvole solenoidi disposte a minima distanza l’una dall’altra lungo un canale sospeso in aria. Un sistema di controllo digitale consente la chiusura e l’apertura delle valvole ad alta frequenza. L’effetto è quello di una cascata d’acqua che si interrompe in alcuni punti specifici creando una sorta di schermo nel quale i pixel che disegnano le immagini non sono luminosi, bensì fatti di aria ed acqua. L’intera superficie si trasforma in un display digitale che scorre continuamente verso il basso come una cascata.

Non solo le walls. Even the cover of the pavilion has a surface layer of water. Imagined as a mobile structure, the roof of the Zaragoza Digital Water Pavilion is supported by hydraulic cylinders which, depending on your needs, help you lift or lower.
I think it is appropriate to include at least one video, maybe more of the images show the visual and sound quality of this space is constantly changing.

an "informal" public space

Toronto Central Waterfront Wavedeck Simcoe

The project is part of the first phase of implementation of a strategic master plan for downtown Toronto Waterfront prepared by West 8 + DTAH. The
WaveDeck Simcoe, one of four Canadian wavedecks typically fixed for the region, is as artistic as it is functional. Located just west of Simcoe Street in the lake, the wooden wavedeck public space with an informal style amphitheater with awesome curves with the highest point of 2.6 meters above the lake.
I think this is a great example of public space, because in addition to being beautiful and functional, is able to attract people of any age, who live fully in the space.

I invite you to watch this video to better understand what I say ...

water satisfies your thirst for knowledge

I think Water, a Staples, can have enormous potential to transmit information.

"The new generation of architects are working to understand the dynamic models, interconnected, immutable, which represent the heart of the revolution in computer architecture that is trasmighino reification. If this research is the horizon of a new phase architecture, sua materia prima, l'acqua che nutre la ricerca e che si muove in onde, gorghi, mulinelli, cascate, si chiama informazione . La materia prima di una nuova fase dell'architettura."
Antonino Saggio, Introduzione alla rivoluzione informatica in architettura, Carocci, Roma 2007

Osservando l'opera di Gustafson Porter, la Diana Memorial Fountain a Londra, ho riflettuto sul possibile utilizzo di una tecnologia simile da adottare magari lungo le sponde della linea tranviaria.

GUSTAFSON PORTER, DIANA MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN, LONDON, UK 2003-2004
The sculptural fountain is a curved line of water, a ring of granite stone. The water flows through in a different way due to its soft texture characterized by complex three-dimensional configuration of the perimeter, the profile and inclination of the channel.

so that when the water flows slowly, announced that the tram is distant, when the water begins to flow faster, announced that it is approaching, the water can also contribute to the cool summer and can also be the source energy to power the tram.

"Water is a source of energy clean and renewable, present since time immemorial and able to respond significantly to world demand for primary energy. Is therefore a position of close-up of the economic and environmental point of view, is the main resource of our country and being entirely free of emissions . "Enel

The Personal Podcar

travelers to London is a green transportation treat when traveling from terminal to terminal. The TRP Ultra, by Advanced Transport Systems Ltd, is a Personal Rapid Transit vehicle which has an enormous potential to change the way we travel within cities (and more particularly negligli airports in this case). The vehicle is battery powered by four people and is central (it is not necessary to have human drivers!), travels on a single lane flyover tour inside the airport. The maximum speed of vehicles is 20 mph. The network of Heathrow moves about 11,000 passengers a day.
