Shifting hybrids. Brooklyn NEW YORK suckerPUNCH: describe your project. reynolds DIAZ jr / chris DORSEY: Chelsea has an interestingly diverse mixture of programmatic activity. In this diversity, a constant flux between private and public interfaces resolves in a fragmented spatial matrix. Program increasingly divides as you move away from the Hudson River. As a result, this filtration of program continues throughout the site. Large enclosed spaces provided static spatial formations in the form of a performance hall. sP: what or who influenced this project? rD+cD: Hina Jamelle, Ali Rahim, Adam Hostetler, H. sP: what were you reading/listening to/watching while developing this project? rD+cD: Gilles Deleuze – The Logic of Sensation, Jacques Derrida – The Animal That Therefore I Am, The Black Keys, Karate, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan sP: whose work is currently on your radar? rD+cD: Contemporary Architecture Practice, MONAD Studio, SU11, Ruy Klein, Xefirotarch.
Logic matter. Cambridge MASSACHUSETTS suckerPUNCH: describe your project. skylar TIBBITS: Logic Matter: Digital Logic as heuristics for physical self-guided-assembly Given the increasing complexity of the physical structures surrounding our everyday environment; buildings, machines, computers and almost every other physical object that humans interact with, the processes of assembling these complex structures are inevitably caught in a battle of time, complexity and human/machine processing power. If we are to keep up with this exponential growth in construction complexity we need to develop automated assembly logic embedded within our material parts to aid in construction. In this thesis I introduce Logic Matter as a system of passive mechanical digital logic modules for self-guided-assembly of large-scale structures. sP: what or who influenced this project?

Liverpool One: Interchange, Bridge and Car Park | Projects | WilkinsonEyre.Architects. The Paradise Street Development Area - Liverpool One - in Liverpool forms a key part of the city’s regeneration. The new developments have created an enhanced public realm and a series of exciting new leisure, retail and interchange facilities, providing improved clarity in pedestrian and transport links between the city centre and the new Arena and Convention Centre at King’s Waterfront - also designed by Wilkinson Eyre. This pedestrian bridge is Wilkinson Eyre’s final project in the Paradise Street development, and links the practice’s car park with a major department store building.
It provides an enclosed link for pedestrians between the two, offering a dramatic and contemporary entrance experience for shoppers. The bridge is constructed from fabricated steel plate and is extensively glazed, the materials emphasising its unique ‘folded’ geometric form. Careful lighting design also enhances the geometry, the bridge appearing to glow by night. Date: June 2008 Location: Liverpool, UK Value:
Living bridge by Wilkinson Eyre Architects. Here are a few photographs of the Living bridge in Limerick, Republic of Ireland, by London-based architects Wilkinson Eyre. Crossing the river Shannon in five spans, the deck width fluctuates along the length of the bridge to allow for resting places or public art displays. The bridge was completed in November last year. Here's some more information from Wilkinson Eyre: Living Bridge This bridge is a small component of the University of Limerick’s ambitious plans for expansion to the north of the River Shannon, yet assumes a strategic importance that transcends its physical presence.
The design grows from the site, an organic response to a natural environment. This span arrangement is a pragmatic response to the founding opportunities within the river, placing piers on the riverbanks, wooded islands and pool edges.The deck width ‘pulses’ along its length, offering wider platforms to be used as resting places or spaces for public art.

Engineers: Ney & Partners Location: Knokke, Flanders, Belgium Client: Flemish Community Project length: 110 m Budget: $1,700,000 euro Construction year: 2004–2007 Photographer: Daylight Situated on the Queen Elisabeth Avenue, connecting Knokke with Ostende, this pedestrian bridge full fills two functions. On the one hand, the bridge connects the sea dike with a green zone in the “Polders”, creating tourism possibilities for cyclists and pedestrians.
On the other hand the bridge symbolizes the entrance into the marine city of Knokke Heist. The static model is a continuous beam with 102m length that rests on 4 supports. This creates an ideal span division of 28m/46m/28m. The structural form was first hand sketched, then digitally processed: a software program computed the minimum amount of material required and thus the shapes of the openings. Maribor Footbridge Proposal by Ja Studio & Tadj-Farzin Studio. Just a few days ago, we posted the fascinating entry for a footbridge by Family as part of the ‘EPK - DRAVA RIVER 2012’ competition in Maribor, Slovenia.
Following is another very exciting bridge proposal by Toronto-based Ja Studio in collaboration with Tadj-Farzin Studio. Click above image to enlargeDesign proposal for a footbridge across the Drava river for the Maribor-EPK 2012 Competition by Ja Studio in collaboration with Tadj-Farzin Studio Here’s a detailed project description we received from Ja Studio: The city of Maribor, the second largest city in Slovenia and it is getting ready to become the European Capital of Culture in 2012. Click above image to enlarge The Drava Experience Crossing the new pedestrian Lent-Tabor Bridge would be as important as spending time on it. The spontaneity of use The bridge is designed as a 15m wide surface that can create a variety of experiential condition between people and Drava. The image of Drava is the reflection of Maribor and the bridge.
Gu-Shan Pedestrian Bridge 鼓山人行橋 : . 2008 Kaohsiung Built Gu-Shan Pedestrian Bridge鼓山橋 in association with G-Shop Design / Envision Engineering Consultants Location: Kaohsiung, TaiwanProject team: 張瑪龍+徐宜恆+王煦中+黃姿禎Structural engineer: Envision Engineering ConsultantsProject year: 2008-2010Constructed Area: Photographer: 愛河之心曲型橋(以下簡稱曲形橋)、左營區跨越翠華路崇德路自行車橋樑(以下簡稱翠華橋)以及鼓山區跨越第一船渠人行橋(以下簡稱鼓山橋)，皆是高雄市政府近年來新建的供行人與自行車使用的景觀橋樑。 橋樑標準斷面形式 橋樑基本形式不外乎力與美的展現，在設計中可以表達為由結構力學所產生的美學；而遵循結構力學所衍生出的橋樑形式，即可構成一種和諧平穩的美感。
構造 愛河之心橋樑主結構採用Box樑，在附掛包版（沖孔版）時採用三角形分割方式，以配合橋樑三度空間曲線。 翠華橋主結構採用圓鋼管，以翼版版片做為龍骨造型，形成本橋之特色之一。 裝飾主要元素 除了主結構外，橋樑的裝飾決定了橋樑呈現的風采。 New Prosthesis. Living Bridge Structures.

Dynamic bridging back_to_Grotenrath_Philippe e3 Hochbau 2009 Professor: Patrick Schumacher from Zaha Hadid architects Software: Rhinoceros Autodesk Softimage Autodesk AutoCAD for dynamics : Autodesk Maya location: Glasgow The first part of our design was to develop a logical road-system.
After some experiments with glue we found the solution by bundling-up the roads. Simultaneously we were looking in workshops and structural engineering for a flexible and parametric bridge-system that we could integrate in our design.We had to fit our system to the entire design.

This post is a sneak preview of the design research developed withing the Lightness Workshop of Msc2 Design Studio (Spring 2010) directed by Marco Verde Eng, March at HYPERBODY, Faculty of Architecture at the Delft University of Technology.
The component design was achieved by Xing Wang. This is a Workshop for Msc 2 Master student of Hyperbody. The research topic is using folded flat pieces to make a self-supported bridge without extra material. We start with a single component of the bridge and looking for the certain folding logic. After folding the flat material, every component should generate a 3d volume that can sustain enough pressure, tension and moment; and the component should have a certain variable to control its deformation. When all the components being organized together, they can work as a complete bridge structure.
In this project, we use 0.5mm white plastic panel as material, two 8cm screws in the middle of the component are the variables to control the deformation. ENDLESS BIO-ANARCHIA. Applications.
