Perception of Consequence by @volvoxlabs / Two virtual fluid-evolving forms occupy physical space. Created by Brookly based VFX and projection design studio Volvoxlabs, Perception of Consequence project represents the idea of consequence and constraints of motion set by the rules of physics.

Perception of Consequence by @volvoxlabs / Two virtual fluid-evolving forms occupy physical space

Two fluid-evolving forms are placed in a reversible entropic system and simulated to resemble evolving human states and emotions. The system itself evolves from organic form into chaos. "Twelve Lectures on Architecture: Algorithmic Sustainable Design" by Nikos Salingaros. Students can follow twelve innovative one-hour lectures (in English) covering architecture and urbanism for free.

"Twelve Lectures on Architecture: Algorithmic Sustainable Design" by Nikos Salingaros

The accompanying book of lecture notes is also available. There exist several options for following the lectures on streaming video -- access all the lectures below. Order the book: Algorithmic Sustainable Design -- Twelve Lectures on Architecture through any major architectural or online bookstore in the US and Europe. The International Edition is published by Vajra Publications, Kathmandu, Nepal. Forthcoming translation into Chinese HERE. After this course was presented and the book published, I wrote two papers that delve deeper into the material of Chapter 1: Why monotonous repetition is unsatisfying, September 2011, and Applications of the Golden Mean to Architecture, February 2012.

Model of Parametric Bridge Conceptual Design. Hi, everyone!

Model of Parametric Bridge Conceptual Design

Here is a bridge that I designed and modeled in Grasshopper. Although this is only a special case, the idea behind it is to take a parametric approach in designing all kinds of bridges since they share a logical structure which is particularly suitable for parametric modeling. I also believe that this logical structure can be implemented with various software. I used clusters to build the model, and the definition can still be difficult to follow. Grillage Fabrication. (A double-post from the Discussion section, but this post should probably live here...)

Grillage Fabrication

All, I put together a utility definition to create a grillage (waffle) surface for laser cutter fabrication. Please feel free to use it (at your own risk...). I plan to make improvements to this base configuration in the future. Features: Cast Thicket, Winner of APPLIED: Research Through Fabrication Competition, Now Completed.

Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) using WinAir for Ecotect « WeWantToLearn.net

WinAir is a plugin to perform CFD analysis (wind flow) on a mesh using Ecotect. The video tutorial is in Spanish but very easy to follow even without sound. There are couple questions already online on the Autodesk forum about Win Air. and some work on the GH forum related to it.

A responsible digital designer. Figural Studies Workshop 2013. Master of Architecture students at the Knowlton School of Architecture participated in a one week Figural Structures Workshop using karamba3d.

Figural Studies Workshop 2013

Over the course of the workshop, which ran from January 10-16, approximately one-half of the KSA’s second and third year MARCH class learned to use parametric geometric modeling, finite element calculations and optimization algorithms to develop intricate structural scenarios for figural building massings inspired by the KSA’s recent exhibition at the 2012 Venice Biennale. Prototypes resulting from the workshop were reviewed by KSA professors Jeff Kipnis and José Oubrerie and guest lecturer Klaus Bollinger.

Students worked in teams; four teams of six to eight students each. Each team was responsible for designing, analyzing and then building a large spatial structure inspired by the figural building masses developed for the KSA’s recent exhibition at the 2012 Venice Biennale.

EMERGENT CITY. Civic Sports Centre and 2013 National Games Arena. Los Angeles based firm, Emergent have won a competition of the Civic Sports Centre and the 2013 National Games Arena in Shenyang. The project, set on the boarder of the natural and urban life of the city, will comprise an arena with 2000 fixed seats, a swimming arena and civic sports center. The project also includes football, basketball, tennis, badminton, and volleyball courts. A roof with cellular windows and solar panels will cover the different areas with a form derived from natural crystal formations. Beijing National Hotel. At 1,500 rooms, this hotel will be the largest hotel in Beijing.

It is located near the Beijing International Airport in the 5th Ring, and will be used to host international conferences. The building is 303 meters long and is intended to become a major landmark, visible to landing aircraft. Grasshopper Space Planner. Updated GH Graphic Programming tool can be found here. TMD_thesis. Augmented 3D Printing: Architectural Model Overlay App. Augmented 3D Printing: Architectural Model Overlay App Article by Urbanist, filed under Conceptual & Futuristic in the Technology category. Augmented reality meets architectural modeling in a remarkable best-of-both-worlds hybridization of two essential technologies for architecture designers, builders and (especially) clients. You have to see this video to believe it: Inition takes a physical (real-world) model, places it on a pattern-mapped background, and presto: point your iPad at the object and all kinds of additional layers of information begin to map themselves onto the object, shifting as you change perspective.
