the results show how the reading is linear with an interesting front view but not side view.. for the next step that the rows analyzed become single cells a more interesting is expected. the size of each cell or element is 5x5x5cms, different sized will be considered for better results and for an approximation to the possible material.

based on the grid, a 3d volume is generated.

according to rules determined by elements placed on the volume a reading of each cube, row and layer runs through the whole volume to determine the cells that will disappear, become transparent or function as structure.

the lower row of circles (green with red centers) is according to the countries` number of inhabitants each students represents, the upper row (pink circles) is for the population density

the 15 ways to improve dia (proposals) were taken from analysis of the previous and current situation through 4 categories: spatial, social, economical and ecological. Now the proposals are divided in 3 categories or SCALES: object, social and space. (each then again will adress the original 4 categories)
***** proposals are still agregated and dismissed

"Computers are simply the means to create virtual environments where populations of simple programs are allowed to interact with one another in the hope that interesting emergent properties will result. Instead of approaching our subject top-down, we approach it bottom-up, setting loose within a virtual environment a whole population of simple interacting entities so that emergent behaviours can be synthesised. One generates knowledge in this approach by observing the dynamical results of the interactions in order to generate in ourselves new intuitions as to what is going on in real ecosystems. Hence we convert the computer into an 'intuition synthesiser'."

"Biology has traditionally started at the top, viewing a living organism as a complex bio-chemical machine, and worked analytically downwards from there-through organs, tissues, cells, organelles, membranes, and finally molecules-in the pursuit of the mechanisms of life. Artificial Life starts at the bottom, viewing an organism as a large population of simple machines, and works upwards synthetically from there- constructing large aggregates of simple rule governed objects which interact with one another nonlinearly in the support of life-like global dynamics."

hanged elements form and determine space, and are part of the interaction between the space and the users (activities)



hanging for fun and necessity in everyday life activities, and hanging to exhibit and save space in academic activities.

Students form nearly 40 differnet nationalities have studied in Dia.
Around 25 different nationalities studying in the same Lecture room or Studio.
This statistic table shows the nationalities, the number and the increasing or
decreasing number or students comming from each country; as well as
where have they lived and if they have moved during the 2 year program.
