Recap of Phase I + Phase II
Instead of designing some specific module building system, this project intends to establish a open platform (Architecture Republic) which could not only facilitate the design and manufacture industry of module building but also promote the business of architecture customization service.
PROTOTYPE During the collaborative research and prototyping with the project Stigmergicscape, several critical aspects including modular structure and configuration, customization process, manufacture and assembly process have been addressed. Due to the feedback from the prototype, the objective of next phase takes its shape.
Phase III Objectives:Commercialization+ Industrialization
To achieve the Commercialization and Industrialization of architecture, the intervention could be addressed in three levels:
1.Virtual platform(the Archi-STORE) - Commercializing architecture through setting up the e-business market.
2.Physical platform(the Archi-FACTORY) - Industrializing architecture through the emergent technology of automatic manufacture and robotic assembly.
3.Product(Customized units)
Commercialization: Archi-STORE
Archi-STORE Similar to the other E-business interface, the Archi-STORE is trying to interconnect all the participants including different characters(Users, Designers and Operators) together.Through this dynamic interaction, the flows of three key elements of the project-capital, information and product have been activated.
For regular users, a convenient online customization service has been provided by Archi-STORE. Consider the user-friendly, the interface system will search for the appropriate presets from the product library automatically for users once it gets the requirement information about the function and size. Than, users could make further customization based on the presets they picked.Basically, users have the authority to modify both the facade panel and the devices included. Once the module customization finished, users are allowed to choose a specific position for their module in NDSM. (see the Archi-STORE, beta version1.01 below)
Meanwhile, for designers(developers), their creativity and expertise could be realized and rewarded through Archi-STORE. Within a certain framework and some basic rules, designers could design the module presets, facade panels and specific devices for product library. Once their design be selected and applied by users, designers will get profits from the Archi-STORE.
