Key uses:
Key P and O : xml data, scales -> changes heights of buildings and numbers of windmill
Key L : makes windmills rotate clockwise
Key K : makes windmills rotate anti-clockwise
Key J : pauses windmills rotating.
Key N : pachube xml wget -> changes movement of glowing balls.

Research Tutorial - Pachube XML File (math less) and Rotate/Glow/Pause
NOTE
Because this tutorial is dealing with a combination of 3 different flowgraphs,
In order to do this tutorial, you should have done following links tutorials:

This tutorial is to show how to use math less method with pachube xml file
in order to rotate & glow and pause with their values.
if value are more than 20, it glows and rotates.
if value are less than 20, it stop glowing and pause.
Combination of 'reading Pachube XML file', 'Parameter glow' and 'rotation'. (glow/pause/rotate)
I had bad quality screen recorder so i've attached the flowgraph
and a video of what its doing as well as the tutorial
Final: The Analytics Engine.
I wanted to use 2 different data from the start. one Fixed data and one live data from Pachube.
The analytics engine that read past and live.
The global financial data was used as a fixed data, and light sensor data from pachube as a live data.
However, the live data wasnt longer live. i had to edit the values which were quite disappointing.
The Concept (click)
Global Financial Data
All values were used from the global financial data in my xml file.
It makes a basic look of a graph. As the scale(graph) goes up, it changes the levels(heights) of the Buildings.
Basically global financial data shows the suitable size of building.
Also the xml file changes numbers of windmills.
Pachube Live data
(since its not live anymore, ive made my own values from the data)
the live pachube data was used in glowing balls which represents electricity(energy).
if the live data value is more than 20, the three glowing balls around buildings, goes up and the glow ball around windmill moves towards to the city in order to supply energy to the buildings.
if the live data value is less than 20, the glowing balls around buildings goes down and the glow ball around the windmill moves backwards from the city in order to recharge(gain) the energy.
(Value 20 is an example value of maximum electricity to the building in order to run)
the three glowing balls around buildings are used as parameter glow to windows and walls in the buildings.
Therefore as the glowing balls gets closer, the windows and walls in the buildings glow.
the glowing ball around windmill is used as parameter rotate to windmill fans.
Therefore As the glowing ball gets closer, the fans rotate faster.
When both data are played, it shows suitable size of the buildings and the suitable amount of energy needed for the size of building. and it shows the suitable numbers of windmills in order to supply the energy.
This installation is to show how important the links amongst money, electricity and buildings are.
Conceptual Relationship Diagram
Flowgraphs
Glow Parameter
As an object get closer, it glows
Rotate Parameter
As an object or a character get closer, it rotates faster
Rotate with keys
J key pauses the rotation
K key rotates clockwise
L key rotates unclockwise.
Make an object scales up by reading xml
(made my own xml from vinhs tut)
and Also as it scales, it hides and unhides objects
Full size of previous flowgraph
Pachube xml movement.
it uses pachube xml, and if the data is more than 20, it will move the object up.
and if the data is less than 20, it will move the object down.

The Concept of Analytics Engine
(Background:
No more fuel, oils -> investment on natural resources (solar energy, wind energy..)
Global financial crisis -> no more waste )
I had this idea from the start, an Analytic Engines that connects between Globalisation(financial) and buildings
so that the buildings can be affordable and to build new one suitable to the current economic.
I also thought it would be more useful to combine two different data, the main factors(the main influences to buildings)
such as a natural resources data & a global financial data or global financial data & some sort of pollution data.
(Buildings for current economy and environment, minimalism)
Beside there isn't any live global financial data on pachube, it encouraged me to use two dat, one fixed data and one live data.
From student research, i thought i came up with an idea that instead of number of people creates more light, to show how the light data (electricity) influence on different heights of buildings.
The concept of this Analytics engine is to understand the current global finance and the rate of energy uses.
It is to show the maximum levels(heights) of the buildings which responded from the Global Financial data.
so that investors or buyers can visualise the most adoptable and suitable size buildings from current Global Economy are required. (it will give architects some limits for the current economy)
also it is to see the potential development on existing buildings in the future.
Its also to shows the energy uses in the building which responded from the Pachube live electricity data. so that Government or investors can visualise the most suitable amount of development on natural resources are required, in order to keep existing cities, buildings or even future buildings for their energy uses.

S.W.O.T Analysis of Pachube Feed
- Creating Space with Light, Pachube feed from 2nd year, ARCH1391
"The sense of space is created using light. The number of people entering and leaving a room directly correlates to the floor area which is lit up. As more people enter the room the lit floor area increases. As more of the floor area lights up the concept of a larger space is created."
no longer Live.
S.W.O.T Analysis
Strengths
Creating Space with light: It is quite useful and creative idea that space responds to the number of people and create more space and more light. this idea has good potential to develop further and used in real life. It gets people more sense of comforts as they are still able to have spaces from other people.
Weaknesses
It definitely has more to consider such as what kidda of place would it suits.
of course it will make interior of the place quite simple and As it creates more space, how would it handle with weights of people, the movement of floor and placement of furnitures. this idea can be easily replaced by using room dividers and auto window shutter.
personally i don't need using sensors are necessary but using manual remote in order to extend space.
Opportunities
It can be used in public area such as toilets or wedding reception places etc.
its like give people some limits of use spaces depends on the number of people.
for example no point of having a large toilet on sunday night as there wont be many people.
it will be useful to use this idea, creative space in toilet area.
Threats
when it decreases due to small numbers of people, it might isolate people to one side.
also there are some possibility of unsafety from movements of walls and floors.
