A responsive architectural system for tuning acoustical performance of space.

Tunable Sound Cloud is a responsive architectural application that allows for real-time modification and enhancement of acoustic performance of space. TSC focuses on our auditory experience of architecture.

Designed with a responsive modular structure and interactive smart surface, the system was first proposed in 2008 and prototyped in 2009.

Interfaced through Grasshopper/Rhino 3D modeling tool + Max/MSP software.
Actuated with Arduino micro-controllers/geared motors + SMA wires.

Tunable Soundcloud was published in  Make Alive - prototypes for responsive architectures.  

This truly awesome book "documents an arena for design research in which distributed electronic sensors, control systems and actuators are embedded into the hard matter of architectural space, which in turn inflects to the behaviour of its interacting subjects."
