Alishan Tourist Routes,Taiwan. One degree of latitude = One kilometer of altitude. This is a crucial equation in the understanding of the potential of the Alishan Mountain as a tourist site. It allows both an ecological and cultural connection between Taiwan and a family of nations via a material argument about culture in the new global society: that new regionalisms can be constructed at all levels of material practice. The opposition of nature and culture can no longer be conceived of as a simple dialectic...

Agriculture maintains a varied and dynamic landscape of extreme variance. A Journey up the Alishan Mountain is a journey through four distinct ecosystems. We propose to harness this difference and accentuate it, so that the different climactic regions are reflected in a gradient of culture, cuisine, and landscape along the line. (to find out more...) This is a competition that was won by Reiser + Umemoto in year 2003. Impresii Post-Parametrice | ArhiForum. Acum câteva săptămâni a avut loc la Cluj CLJ02, al doilea workshop axat pe design paramentric. Punându-l în șirul evenimentelor similare de la București și Iași, putem constata o creștere evidentă a atenției dedicate acestei părți a practicii și a teoriei arhitecturale, în continuă dezvoltare în România.

Chiar dacă încă departe de a fi introdusă în curricula școlilor de arhitectură locale, răspunsul pe care l-am primit a fost destul de uluitor- dacă anul trecut la DTAL’s CLJ01 workshop abia am umplut cele 20 de locuri disponibile, anul acesta a trebuit să oprim numărătoarea pe la 60 și am fost nevoiți să dezamăgim o treime din aplicanți. Evenimentul propriu-zis a fost organizat de ASTA Cluj (de Bogdan Hămbășan și Anamaria Androne) ca parte integrantă a Zilelor Arhitecturii 11, eveniment ce va avea loc la începutul lunii mai.

Acesta a fost condus de Patrick Bedarf și de mine, amandoi fiind puternic implicați în câmpul computational architecture incă de la inceputurile acestuia. Parametric Wood. Cutting-Edge Fashion by Daniel Widrig and Iris van Herpen. London-based architect Daniel Widrig and Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen first collaborated at Amsterdam Fashion Week in 2010 on a collection called Crystallization (above) — a fashion collection of 3D-printed dresses. Escapism is the continuation of this collaboration and launched at Paris Fashion week earlier this year. The goal of the Escapism collection is to take 3D printing and push the limits on the wearability of the printed pieces. It investigates the possibility of using advanced technologies and computer-aided design to create haute couture fashions made of fiber-like elements that are lightweight and flexible.

The collection was produced in collaboration with New York based label .MGX by Materialise via Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) in Polyamide. Benjamin Ennemoser. Bh-c.info. Bittertang.com. Introduction: Parametric design | Rethinking Architecture | architecture and design blog. What is parametric design ? There is no precise definition and there are other related terms and synonyms: generative, computational, digital, computer aided, associative. Basically it's far more sophisticated than using computer instead of drawing board. Often when You draw/model your concept, You follow certain operations which are monotone and repetitive, they are algorithms and what's for sure computers are best at algorithms, so why should You do it manually ?

For example, think of an elevation with windows, each window must have an area equal to 1/8 of room's floor area. What is it for ? Everyday objects, data mapping and visualization, elevations, structures, floor plans, urban plans. Visual code It's quite easy to distinguish something designed using parameters and algorithms from the rest, so it gives us a message "I'm contemporary, I was rethinked:)" Urban design Wall design - Grasshopper Data vizualisation - Processing "NYTimes: 365/360 - 2009 (in color)", courtesy blprnt_van Links:
