The “Tokyo project” is a result of certain decisions taken in terms of self-sufficiency through three aspects: natural, social and contemporary events. Protection from the environment, differential exposure to natural forces and differentiation of the material sources are the choices related to nature. Temporary property and a range of privacy and meeting variations are the proposals emerging from social self-sufficiency and precariousness depending on the results of the customization of the users, a leisure zone, and overlapping networks of different elements are proposed to obtain self sufficiency in terms of contemporary events.

Plasti+City is an installation done by students of the IAAC \\\\"Digital Tectonics\\\\" postgraduate program, presented at the construmat 2007 in Barcelona. It is the result of a collaborative exploration with the company LASENTIU to expand the use of Syntrewood, a 100% recycled and 100% recyclable plastic material, through the use of advanced digital design and manufacturing technologies (parametric cad-cam software + CNC fabrication equipment). Plasti+City is an adaptable architectural surface made out of 200 differenciated parts, all derived from identical standard elements.

Can we read the complexity of a metropolis like São Paulo identifying and understanding self_organized systems that work through an interactive process? The proposal searches to explore the internal organization of an open_system – a building - trough the manipulation of self_organized systems - organized into dwelling, leisure, mobility, structure and energy units. Each system increases in complexity without being guided or managed by an outside source _ the façades are defined by several “self_sufficient” patterns that react to different needs and evolution in time.

By means of material manipulation, deployment of rules of differentiation and the processing of digital data fields: the workshop explored several forms of physical kinetics, interactivity and connectivity through the construction of gradual systems in the form of eco-machines. This informing and controlling of abstract behavioral structures is what has been understood as a principle of self-sufficiency in relation to dynamic environments. Framed operations in which a specific natural phenomenon is observed an integrated into artificial cycles.

A diagrammatic scheme that refers and responds to the problematic - constructing a self sufficient city. A diagrammatic system of 1000 cities , a structure based on self organized systems. A continuously transforming and evolving diagrammatic system that has 1000 potential, possible answers-results. The final result is an interpretation based on the different environmental, economical, social inputs and its structure derives from changing parameters and forces. An economical system based on different economical unit systems working indipendently based on different economical sources. An energetic enviromental system based on renewable energy and hydrogen. Self sufficient units each one with its own energy source combined with smaller systems of energy in the interior. A multiethnic system of people with different cultures interchanging experiences. Combined unities of different cultures into one totality that at the same tinme respects the identity of each unit.

The project of Estrella is founded on a research that follow two different paths: _on one side we developed a model of city in which all the urban parameter derives from the data about an optimized energy consumption. A parametric model of a selfsufficient city. _on the other side we developed an event city. A city that will be developed using the potential that the event can bring in the city, in terms of energy, infrastructure, services. Estrella is a city divided in units in which the quantity of energy production and the area is fixed. The energy is produced inside the unit and partially integrated with the built and open space. Each unit can have a different proportion between the quantity of people, the average level of built space, the percentage of open space and residual space. The usage of the residual space gives the identity to each unit. Team: Berardo Matalucci, Chrysokona Mavrou, Vasileios Ntovros, Fabiano Spano Directed by Vicente Guallart
