Chris Wilkins. About me | sketches[of]code. BIO. MARC FORNES & THEVERYMANY™ Niccolocasas. Heumann Design/Tech. Patrik Schumacher. Neri Oxman | MIT Media Lab. Designer Neri Oxman is the Sony Corporation Career Development and assistant professor of Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab, where she founded and directs the Mediated Matter research group. Her group explores how digital design and fabrication technologies mediate between matter and environment to radically transform the design and construction of objects, buildings, and systems.

Oxman coined the term “material ecology” to describe the study and design of products and processes integrating environmentally aware, computational, form-generation processes and digital fabrication. Her goal is to enhance the relationship between the built and the natural environments by employing design principles inspired by nature, and implementing them in the invention of novel digital design technologies. Areas of application include product and architectural design, as well as digital fabrication and construction. Homepage. Ezioblasetti.net. Ezioblasetti.net. Daniel Widrig. O P E N S Y S T E M S.

Photo: Simon Schluter, The Age Temporary installation of a geodesic dome at the National Gallery of Victoria for the Melbourne Now exhibition (Nov 2013 - Mar 2014). Project text In the mid 1960s, while he was designing the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), architect Roy Grounds was experimenting with geometry on a property near Penders on the south-coast of NSW. One of his experiments was a geodesic dome, of the kind pioneered in the USA by radical designer, scientist, engineer and philosopher Buckminster Fuller. But where Fuller’s domes were military grade, Grounds’ interpretation was far more ‘Australian’. In place of Fuller’s crisp lightweight aluminium struts, Grounds had used timber logs.

This dome formed the starting point for the ‘Bin Dome’, an installation designed by Rory Hyde Projects for the Melbourne Now exhibition at the NGV, summer 2013-14.
