The goal of this project is to demonstrate that architectural space parametrization enables us to assign real and virtual variations, altering the entity's form. Parametric structures enable architects to configure spaces using mathematical developments, creating complex forms quickly with machining systems. Additionally, they allow for the incorporation of external factors such as light, movement, and sound, which can be measured digitally and participate in the design process in real-time. The "Virtual Skin" of the pavilion can be programmed using real parameters as digital inputs. It is an interactive system where user movements or sound frequencies are translated into visual displays on the surrounding Led Matrix after analysis with sensors. Tools used for designing and producing the pavilion include Grasshopper, Firefly, Arduino, Repetier-Host, and 3D printers. These open-source software solutions enabled a highly customized and efficient production process.
