The workshop will be organized by Hery and Lale from Down2Earth and enable you to experience communal building, creating something with your hands and possibly realizing skills you didn’t even know you had!
Stop by today or any Thursday between 17:00 until 22:00 during our community day to hear all the stories and find out how you can take part in continuing the Baumhaus story.
Of course this week’s Baumhaus community day will feature our regular rescued bio food buffet hosted by The Real Junk Food Project: Berlin and Foodsharing Berlin, but we also have a special print your own stuff workshop for you to enjoy!
Since we finally printed the limited run of organic cotton t-shirts as rewards from our successfull crowd-funding campaign last year, we decided to share the art. Coost from Czentri Fuga ( http://www.unter-druck.de ), social printers will be set up at the Baumhaus to print our new t-shirt design on whatever you would like to print on! Bring your old bags, shirts, pants or whatever and give them a Baumhaus makeover. Make a donation of your choice to support either project if you like.
We will also have only 2 or 3 extra of each t-shirt color in each size (s, m, l, xl) to purchase in support of the Baumhaus for €30.( screen design by Susan Sanford )

Sentient Light konnte sich in der Jurywertung durchsetzen und wurde mit dem ersten Platz ausgezeichnet. Keiner von uns hatte zu Beginn mit diesem Erfolg gerechnet. Umso mehr freuen wir uns über diese Ehrung.
In einer kurzen Ansprache beschrieb Professor Hausburg das Projekt als die Integration einer technischen Lösung in ein sozial-dynamisches Umfeld, welche durch seine Dynamik die Interaktionen der beteiligten Personen widerspiegelt.
Genau wie im Vorjahr hat der Verband Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI) Studenten und Studentinnen der Ingenieurwissenschaften an Berliner und Brandenburger Universitäten und Hochschulen zur Teilnahme am Wettbewerb Mensch und Technik aufgefordert. Bis zum 30. September konnten in Form eines Posters und einer Kurzbeschreibung Projekte eingereicht werden die einen klaren Bezug zu Mensch und Technik haben.
Mitte November bekamen wir die Mitteilung vom VDI dass unser Team zur Preisverleihung eingeladen ist – yeah! Am 25. November fand dann im Ludwig Erhard Haus am Zoologischen Garten die Preisverleihung statt.
Zu Beginn der Veranstaltung wurden zunächst die besten Absolventen und Absolventinnen technischer Studiengänge an Berliner und Brandenburger Hochschulen und Universitäten geehrt. Die Oratoren des VDI betonten in ihren Reden die Herausforderungen, durch Technik die Probleme einer modernen und vernetzen Stadt abzugehen und zu lösen. Die Präsidentin der Technischen Hochschule Brandenburg, Prof. Dr. Wieneke-Toutaoui, verwies auf die heutigen Möglichkeiten, als Student eines technischen Studienganges, die Welt ein Stück weit besser zu machen und verwies in dem Zusammenhang auf die zwar gestiegene allerdings noch bei Weitem nicht zufriedenstellende Anteil weiblicher Studenten in Ingenieursstudiengängen.Die anderen Redner bestärkten die Studenten, ihre Ideen durch Unternehmergeist zu realisieren. Ein Zitat von Reid Hoffman bliebt besonders im Gedächtnis:
„Wenn dir die erste Version deines Produktes nicht peinlich ist, hast du es zu spät auf den Markt gebracht.“
– Reid Hoffman, Co-Founder von LinkedIn
Im Anschluss sollten die drei bestplatzierten Teilnehmer des Wettbewerbs ausgezeichnet werden. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war usn noch nicht klar, welchen Platz wir belegt hatten.
In umgekehrter Reihenfolge wurden die Preisträger auf die Bühne gebeten: Den dritten Platz belegten zwei Studenten die mithilfe eines Aldebaran Nao Roboters natürlich Sprache in Gebärdensprache übersetzen. Auf dem zweiten Platz landete das Projekt eines einzelnen Teilnehmers, welches zum Ziel hatte, Fluglärm durch die Verwendung von Linern zu reduzieren.
Im Anschluss an die Preisverleihung hatten die drei Teams die Gelegenheit, ihre Konzepte an einem Stand den anderen Gästen zu demonstrieren. Das steigende Interesse an unserem Projekt nehmen wir zum Anlass, die einzelnen Komponten im Detail vorzustellen.
Meld dich bei uns falls du Interesse hast, unser preisgekröntes Tech Team zu unterstützen: Wir suchen Verstärkung.
Sentient Light: Projektvision
Sentient Light ist ein generisches System zur reaktiven Ansteuerung von Leuchtelementen dar. Ausgehend von Umgebungsparametern – wie Aufenthaltsort und Bewegungen von Personen – werden Farbe und Intensität einer sich im Raum befindlichen Beleuchtungsinstallationen dynamisch gesteuert. Der Raum wird damit intelligent und in die Lage versetzt, auf die darin befindlichen Menschen zu reagieren. Auf diese Weise entsteht der Eindruck eines fühlenden Raums beziehungsweise eines fühlenden Lichts.
Das Projekt wird derzeit im Baumhaus Berlin realisiert. Das Baumhaus ist ein im Bau befindlicher Veranstaltungsraum in Berlin Wedding für Menschen und Projekte, die sich für den sozialen und ökologischen Wandel engagieren.
Projektziele
Ziel des Projekts ist die Konzeption und Realisierung einer reaktiven Lichtanlage, welche in den Räumen von Das Baumhaus Berlin genutzt werden kann. Die Realisierung umfasst den Entwurf, die Hardware-Fertigung, das Erstellen der Firmware für die Ansteuerung und die Implementierung der Mapping-Engine.
Datenfluss
Die Idee des Projekts ist es, Umgebungsparameter durch Sensoren zu messen und die gemessenen Werte zu einer zentralen Steuerungseinheit zu senden. Die Werte werden dort aggregiert und mittels einer Mapping Engine transformiert.Die transformierten Werte wiederum werden an Aktoren gesendet, welche diese als Input für eine Aktion verwenden.Bluetooth Smart.
Sensoren, Aktoren und Steuerungseinheit kommunizieren miteinander über Funk und spannen so ein Netzwerk der Dinge auf. Als Kommunikationsmedium kommt der Funkstandard Bluetooth 4.0 zum Einsatz, auch Bluetooth Low Energy oder Bluetooth Smart genannt. Er zeichnet sich durch einen einfachen Protokollstapel und niedrigen Energieverbrauch der Hardware aus und wird von den meisten Smartphones und Tablets unterstützt.
[:en]And the winner is…
VDI Winning Team – Prof. Hausburg with Matthias Bock, Florian Schwanz, Thee Vanichangkul & Long Pham
The team designed and built sensors into the Baumhaus main room floor to detect the presence and movement of people in the space and a control a system that allows people to influence the lighting in the space (the tree, Orchid Lamps and other installations) in purposeful and emergent ways.
The Baumhaus Sentient Light project convinced the jury and was awarded with the first price. None of us expected this kind of success. Even more we are all happy receiving this appreciation for our work.
In a brief speech Prof. Hausburg summed up the project as the integration of a technical solution in a social environment which directly reflects people’s dynamics and interactions.
Like the year before the Association of German Engineers (VDI) called for participation of engineering students from Berlin an Brandenburg on challenge Mensch und Technik (people and technology). Until 30 September 2016 teams of up to three students could hand in a poster and a brief description of a project having a strong connection to both people and technology.
Mid November VDI announced that our team is invited to the award ceremony – yeah! On 25 November the award ceremony took place at Ludwig Erhard Haus near Berlin Zoologischer Garten.
Team Sentient Light and prof. Hausburg
At the beginning of the event the most successful graduates of technical classes in Berlin and Brandenburg were honored. Speakers of the VDI emphasized the challenges to address and solve challenges of the modern and connected city. Presindet of Technische Hochschule Brandenburg (University of Applied Sciences) – Prof. Dr. Wieneke-Toutaoui – also outlined today’s possibilities as an engineering stundent to make the world a better place. In this context she also mentioned the increased but nonetheless low amount of female students in engineering.
Other speakers appealed to the students’ entrepreneurial spirit. One quote by Reid Hoffman stayed in memory
„If you are not embarassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched to late.“
– Reid Hoffman, Co-Founder of LinkedIn
After that the top three award-winning teams were announced. At this point we did not yet not know which place we would be.
In reverse order the teams were asked to come on stage: third place went to a team of two students who made use of an Aldebaran Nao robot in order to translate spoken language into sign language. The second price went to one student who developed a technique to reduce airplane noise by using liners.
Finally all the three teams had the opportunity to present their concepts and posters in details and were able to answer questions. The increased interest in our project motivated us to present the different aspects in more detail.
Let us know if you are interested in joining our award winning Tech Team and help finish installing elements of our sentient lighting system or interesting projects we are developing.
Sentient Light: project vision
Sentient Lightis a generic system which reactively controls LEDs. Using parameters from the surroundings, such as the presence and motion of people moving in the space, the system can change the color and intensity of light installations throughout the room. This makes the room is ‘intelligent’ in the sense that it can react to the behaviour of people in the space. We hope is that this technology can be used passively and actively by visitors to inspire more sentient and emergent behaviour.
The project is currently being realized in Baumhaus Berlin.Das Baumhaus is a project and event space in Berlin Wedding where people can meet, collaborate and work on social and ecological projects and other topics related to sustainable development and making the world a better place in general. Baumhaus also offers services from a sustainable solutions collective of over 100 interdisciplinary freelancers.
Dataflow
The general idea is to measure environmental parameters using sensors and to transfer measured values to a central processing device. There all the values will be aggregated and transformed by a mapping engine.
Transformed values in turn will be sent to actors which will use them as input values.
Bluetooth Smart
Sensors, actors and the processing device communicate via radio signals using Bluetooth Smart and span a network of things. It features a simple protocol stack and low energy consumption and is supported by most smartphones and tablets.
[:de]Just before Christmas, I over stressed my back while moving things in the Baumhaus and ended up activating an old painful injury. The good news is that despite the physical pain, I had the best Christmas and New Years I have had in a very long time! My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who stopped by to help out, hang out, cook, celebrate, play, dance, clean, build and plan. While I am not 100% recovered from my injury, I am improving daily thanks to the sensitive and precise body work done by Collin and Nicole in combination my renewed sense of discipline towards self maintenance and transformation.

Over the weekend Murielle Gandre and Scott Bolden worked to get the bar top finished enough so that it will not get damaged. Just a few more steps left to really make it glow! (although, both the wood and copper look radically different depending on the lighting conditions – its a color changing bar!)
Throughout the process, there were several events happening and the process turned into a bit of a side show during a women’s meet-up and many happenings from our Zero Waste event series with Transition Town Pankow, The Real Junk Food Project: Berlin, Open Source Circular Economy Days Berlin and a few more surprises….. like:
Our tech team just won 1st prize for our sentient lighting project in the Baumhaus! The contest had something to do with technology that benefits humanity… more on that soon!
