The objective is to enrich this concept with a 3rd generation digital material founded on digital continuity from design to architectural materialization. This increment is motivated by the use of RFID tag to store information as digital signals in physical modules. This approach allows for the creation of a digital interface accessible to humans as much as computational tools, grasping a multitude of challenges facing digital discrete design. This method offers a series of decisive advantages both practical and theoretical to the notion of digital material.

They provide the fundamental spatial conditions for proximity between centralized political infrastructures and a large concentration of population. Therefore, history has underlined the importance of urban contexts in the emergence of politically motivated demonstrations and revolts. When conflicts arise to a certain level, violence crystalizes through localized pockets of direct opposition between demonstrators and anti-riot forces. Demonstrations usually imply symbolic spatial occupations, points of conflict between protesters and anti-riot forces, and thus the appearance of strategic urban spaces to defend. Barricades have become throughout history the fundamental architectural element symbolizing the physical, spatial and symbolic frontier between opposing parties. Barricades are solid defensive
structures erected across thoroughfares, improvised from a variety of available urban elements. These heterogeneous structures are formed through the stacking of hijacked elements, creating a collage of discrete blocks, forming a spatial frontier delaying the movement of opposing forces. The architectural nature of barricades, as objects and as indicative of insurrectional urbanism, makes them particularly complex structures at the intersection of spatial and symbolic characteristics.
