Monument to the Now: Real Time Genius Loci Intersemiotic Translation

Monument to the Now: Real Time Genius Loci Intersemiotic Translation

Costa, Luis Gustavo Gonçalves Costa; Venancio Júnior, Sergio José

Full Article:

Urban landscapes are rapidly changing due to urbanization, industrialization and climate change. This concept of accelerated landscapes inspires the Monument to Now, a result of formal experimentations based on local characteristics. The research aims to investigate the translation of data from the physical environment to the digital geometric modeling of contemporary monuments for São Paulo. In this way, it understands how the subjectivities and intangible data of the place are translated into digital geometries. The method is divided into: theoretical foundation, study of references, selection of insertion sites, formal design, real-time data capture, visual programming, parametric modeling and visualization in augmented reality (AR). Thus, the Monument to Now is the transposition of data from genius loci to parametric design from totems with AR markers and sensors. Thus, the coexistence between work and the city results in the integration between man and the urban environment and the work with the landscape.
