ErockIT bike is pedal powered and electric motor assisted like an e-bike. Goes 50mph or 80kmh. Good design. Bjarke Ingels. Bjarke Ingels (born 2 October 1974) is a Danish architect.
He heads the architectural practice Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) which he founded in 2006. In 2009 he co-founded the design consultancy KiBiSi. Known for his innovative and ambitious designs and projects, many of his buildings defy traditional architectural conventions and dimensions, and are often highly photogenic,[1] ranging from representations of mountains to snowflakes. He often incorporates sustainable development ideas and sociological concepts into his designs, but often tries to achieve a balance between the playful and practical approaches to architecture.[2] Since 2009, Ingels has won numerous architectural competitions and has grown in international scope and acclaim.
Early life and background[edit] Career[edit] 1998–2005[edit] The first major achievement for PLOT was the award-winning VM Houses in Ørestad, Copenhagen, in 2005. 2006–2008[edit] 2009–present: an internationally acclaimed architect[edit] John M. Johansen. John MacLane Johansen (June 29, 1916 – October 26, 2012)[1] was an architect and a member of the Harvard Five.[2] Johansen took an active role in the modern movement.
Early life[edit] Johansen was born to two accomplished painters in New York in 1916. Growing up in an artful family, Johansen said that his childhood was filled with spaces and enclosures and his childhood fantasies are present in many the designs he created during his adult years. He went to Harvard University and was taught the fundamentals of modern architecture by Walter Gropius, the founder of Bauhaus. In 1939, he graduated the Harvard Graduate School of Design with a Masters in Architecture. Career[edit] Johansen’s designs stressed function over form and focused on social, urban, and anthropological conditions, and strived to avoid creating overpowering megastructures.
Zira Island Masterplan, Bjarke Ingels Group. Mimicking and blending in with a region’s topography is a trick that most architects are familiar with, but Danish firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) take the art to the highest level.
In October 2008 WAN caught up with the firm’s founding partner, Bjarke Ingles, following their presentation of residential development Mountain Dwellings at the World Architecture Festival Awards in Barcelona, which subsequently won in its category. But that has proven just a taster of BIG’s passion for man-made mountains as they present details of the Zira Island master plan in Baku, Azerbaijan - a 1million sq m range of seven cultural, residential and leisure peaks and Central Asia’s first carbon neutral master plan.
The imagery is breath-taking. From a distance the Island’s topography is an illuminated mountain range, but in reality the landscape is a living, functioning, inhabited space, seven towers creating a new mountain city. LED Cube 8x8x8. A wireframe box is a good geometric shape to show in a monochrome 8x8x8 LED cube.
It gives a very nice 3d effect. We made two box animation functions for the LED cube. Effect_box_shrink_grow() draws a wireframe box filling the entire cube, then shrinks it down to one voxel in one of 8 corners. We call this function one time for each of the 8 corners to create a nice effect. Effect_box_woopwoop() draws a box that starts as a 8x8x8 wireframe box filling the entire cube. Here is how effect_box_shrink_grow() works. It takes four arguments, number of iterations, rotation, flip and delay. To make the function as simple as possible, it just draws a box from 0,0,0 to any point along the diagonal between 0,0,0 and 7,7,7 then uses axis mirror functions from draw.c to rotate it. 1) Enter main iteration loop.
