Conceptual Overview

Figure_la

The objective for this project was to find a location which was demarcated by a divider, a wall or a door. In addition, the spatial conditions which exists beyond the divider should also be different. As I was sitting, by the computer in the lab, I kept feeling a slight draft/wind on the left side of where I was sitting. This seemed as a good location for the experiment. There are two distinct conditions which exist between this divider. Firstly, it was a window which act as an outlet to what is occurring in the hallway and secondly, it separates two different spatial conditions, public and private(a hallway and classroom). Elemential conditions such as temperature are very different between these two spaces because of the size, the way it is used and mechanical controls.

The Set Up

Figure_3a Figure_3b


Data collection was done with two temperature sensors, a microcontroller which was programmed with read and writing capabilities. The chip, when connected to the sensors were able to record the temperature for a given period of time. This data was then uploaded through a serial connection to the CPU through a python program.
