Once again the folks at RADDblog post an exciting story about architecture & design. Look at this beautiful brick wall built by a robot, allowing the designer to realize designs advanced in computer aided design programs directly to the construction process with no compromise. Later this month the robot will build another wall in Manhatten. Lean about it below. From RADDblog Construction will begin on a wall to be built entirely by a robot – designed by Swiss architects Gramazio and Kohler – in New York later this month.

The fifth studio Francois Roche has been tutoring at Columbia University since 2006 recently presented its last projects. One of them drove an interesting conversation between the jury and its authors, Brian Buckner & Loukia Tsafoulia . For this year's studio, Francois Roche was assisted by Ezio Blasetti and Dave Pigram For the second year, this studio was experimenting processes of life and death of an architecture; in this regard, Sadic Apiaries is a system composed by two robots and thousand of bees. The first robot is used as a mobile matrix for the bees to build the hives architecture, while the second robot exercises a sadistic role on the bees via smoke throw in order to orient the construction. With time, the wax loose of its consistency (and color) and eventually disintegrates, thus triggering the death of this architecture.L’édition 2009 du World Architecture Festival a eu lieu cette semaine à Barcelone. Cette année le thème portait sur la façon d’atteindre plus avec moins et la relation entre les villes et l’architecture. Les lauréats du festival ont été annoncées et nous voulons mettre en avant quatre des bâtiments achevés qui se distinguent par leur conception respectueuse de l’environnement et le développement durable. Lisez la suite pour voir tous ces bâtiments remarquables. Construite à proximité d’une station de ski dans les montagnes Helags et Skars, ce restaurant est fait de billes de bouleau locales. Le restaurant est incroyablement stables et peuvent résister aux conditions difficiles de l’hiver suédois.

Natanel Elfassy : In a restless moment near the end of their lives, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari revealed their sensitivity to the uncertainty within their work, which was constantly being reformulated, by asking what it means to create. While the act of creation is not a representation of something that already exists, it is also not an irruption of the uncontrolled or undefined; it is not born of pure chaos, nor does it refer to it. Chaos is the ultimate enemy of thought. Resorting to the idea of creation as chaotic and morbid, in which words lose their basis in a colorless, mute night and where we don’t see any form and don’t hear any sound, is one of the dangers that lurks in creation. This danger is based on the misleading understanding of creation as an expression either of transgression, breaking order, or madness. What cannot be thought is the nonrelational – those potentials or movements that fail to be actualized.

green museum by renzo piano
California Academy of Sciences by architects Renzo Piano Building Workshop opened last week in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. The museum, which contains an aquarium, a planetarium, a natural history museum and research and educational facilities, features a ‘green’ roof and numerous sustainable features. One of the world’s most innovative museum building programs—a record-setting, sustainable new home for the California Academy of Sciences—is nearing completion in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Expected to be the first museum to earn a LEED Platinum certification, the new Academy will be topped with a 2.5-acre living roof and will employ a wide range of energy-saving materials and technologies.

Matt Culbreth is a splendid sponge. He is constantly listening to music and soaking the sound waves into his memory bank to invest into future remixology, currently under the moniker ‘ Cave Manners ‘. Groups like MSTRKRFT, Bloody Beetroots, Crookers, Justice, Fake Blood, Kissy Sellout, Para One, DLake, Boys Noize, Le Castlevania, Bag raiders, Chew Fu, and friend and mentor Blanche DuBoi$ influence his dance beats on both subconscious and more purposeful levels. One can imagine the synthetic sounds that invisibly tickle the bloodstream, a pulsating sensation which reveals itself through a bopping head and eventually a bouncing body.
