Architectural Relay Loops - Serial vs. Parallel

Aviation Training Center / Weather Station at Reykjavik Domestic Airport, Iceland

The initial research of this studio led the analysis into a comparative study of three different scenarios frequently encountered in any simulated system, whether it is weather or aviation. These three scenarios of analog, digital, and analog with digital assistant were abstracted into a basic set of deformations in a three dimensional modelling software. In the subsequent research, the same basic spherical geometry is fed into a variety of sequential and non-sequential events to test the nature of the three different types of scenarios. This resulted in the development of three different deformation circuits, the forced feedback, the serial, and the parallel relay loop.

Through this research, the secondary program of aviation training center is re-engaged into the weather monitoring station, and a new business strategy is developed for a hybridized venture that incorporates both flght school and weather station in a new inter-dependent manner that is mutually beneficial.
