This work has been developed and worked out during my graduation thesis, under the advising of Prof. Antonino Saggio a "La Sapienza University" in Rome: he helped me in the hard work of combining two so differents topics like architecture and dance. Without Professor Saggio's teaching, which is constantly focused on the consequences of digital paradigma in architectural design, this work couldn't have been conceived. |
Special Thanks to M.me Cynthia Odier, FLuxLab Praesident in Geneva (CH). She was my "virtual client", and above all a real and critical interlocutor. I met her in Geneva, after a cross mailing. Prof. Saggio suggested she could be my client. Due to my experience as dancer, she understood my purposes. We chose together the project site, which has been located on Spetses Island in Greece near the Old Harbor area. I want also to thank Nicolas Musin, ( FluxLab Art -Director) for his original Fluxlab-Concept, a foundamental idea in order to make me in advance with my hypothesis. |
Special thanks to Professor Dimitris Papalexopoulos, (School of Architecture, University of Athens) who supported me in my investigation on Spetses Island, particularly in the Old Harbor area in which I figure out my building. |
I'm gratefull to Mr Lorenzo Brusci (musician, designer and philosopher) for his expression "melodramatic prototype" about my virtual dancer. I have not yet found, a better word that describes this kind of generative-avatar. |
Obviously, this work is still now in progress: it is a research that needs more experimentations.This competition is one of them. |
