Reference number:
AP189.S3

Description:
Series 3, Physical components of the installation, 2006, is composed of a selection of objects installed in the white room and the book that was installed in the open gallery. Objects from the white room include a fluorescent light fixture and fluorescent light tubes, the sensors and the metal boxes in which they were enclosed, metal pipes that were used to support the sensors and to act as conduits for Ethernet cables (the cables have not been preserved), and supports for the pipes. Also included in the series are two circuit boards whose purpose has not been identified.

Data collection modules from the installation at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (2006-2007)

Actions:

Reference number:
ARCH275099

Description:
Original directory names: "Base de Données Ambiente", "Programme captation", "Programme IIS Génération XML", "scripts". The scripts directory contains a .vbs script that checks whether or not the system is running and starts the system if it is not running. A "Readme.txt" file at the same level as the 4 directories explains how to run the applications together with the animation software. Prevalent file types: .cs, .resx, .config, .exe, .resources, .mdf, .ldf, .aspx, .txt, .vbs

Title:
Seven versions of the animation module with a readme file identifying the version used at the CCA

Actions:

Reference number:
ARCH275207

Description:
This group contains 7 versions of the animation module, each of which was stored in its own subdirectory. The 7 subdirectories were called "CCA", "CCA_08_beta, "CCA_11b", "CCA_12a", "CCA_13", "CCA_13b" and "CCA_calibration_beta". All of the original folders except "CCA" were compressed. A readme file stored at the same level as the 7 subdirectories indicates that version 13b was used at the CCA in October 2006. This version "13b" may in fact refer to the "CCA" subdirectory rather than the "CCA_13b" subdirectory. The readme file in the "CCA" subdirectory identifies the "VE1" application as version "béta 13" and this version appears to have fewer issues than applications in the other 6 modules. The readme files in "CCA_08_beta, "CCA_11b", "CCA_12a", "CCA_13" and "CCA_13b" all identify the application as version "béta 08" and mention several issues with this version. The "CCA_calibration_beta" subdirectory contains only 1 .mp3 file and the application in this module is identified as a development version with many issues to resolve. "CCA_calibration_beta" contains the only version of the "VE1" application that runs without access to the database. Two of the subdirectories contain .png images of a exterior perspective view of the room containing the sensors. Original directory name: "Programmes Rham". Prevalent file types: .swf, .mp3, .exe, .txt, .png, .html, .jpg

Software for collecting, formatting and storing data from the sensors

Actions:

View the finding aid

Reference number:
AP189.S1

Description:
Series 1, Software for collecting, formatting and storing data from the sensors, 2000-2008, is composed of four groups of files. Three of the four groups appear to represent different versions of a module that collects data from the sensors, writes the sensor data to XML format and transmits the data to a Web Server. The remaining group (ARCH275240) is composed of files whose purpose has not been identified. Files in this series were created between 2000 and 2008 but predominantly between 2006 and 2008. ARCH275099 is a group of files that were originally saved to a compact disc following the CCA exhibition. The data on the compact disc was organized and interpreted by the person or persons who compiled it. The original directories have descriptive names and the data is accompanied by instructions in a readme file. This is a selection of the files from the compact disc; other files from the disc can be found in Series 2. Groups ARCH275106 and ARCH275201 are composed of files that were selected from two of the hard drives that were returned to the CCA after the exhibition in Rovereto. The content of the hard drives included the selected files as well as system files and other data that was not retained in the archive. The two groups have some similarities in content and file structure and they both have some content that is similar to that of ARCH275099. Group ARCH275106 additionally includes ZiLOG development software and a "CCA Trident program" copyrighted by Scenethetic Inc. The modules in groups ARCH275099, ARCH275106 and ARCH275201 were developed in part by CCA information technology staff.
