Autodesk Labs. Nanotech... Rolling Bridge / Thomas Heatherwick. Thomas Heatherwick’s Rolling Bridge, completed in 2004 at Grand Union Canal Paddington Basin, London, is one of the most unique bridges in the world. A small pedestrian crossing, it is designed to curl up to allow boats through the inlet and uncurl again over the water. Eight triangular sections host a hydraulic ram on either side.
As the rams open out of their vertical posts they extended the hand rails upwards. The pivoted sections are drawn toward each other creating a slow curling motion. The bridge can stop at any interval. Fully curled up the bridge forms a compact vertical standing octagon at the water’s edge. The concept and execution dwells on the kinetic and biomorphic potential of egress design. To commemorate the 9th Annual Skyscraper Competition, eVolo is publishing the Limited Edition Book "eVolo Skyscrapers 2" which is the follow-up to its highly acclaimed book “eVolo Skyscrapers”.

Currently in the M.Arch program at MIT, the prospective architect and designer Alan Lu creates and explores architecture through experimenting with form, fabrication and design techniques. The bridge project continues the research in applying modular structures to various typologies and establishing a specificity of public spaces.
The conceptual pedestrian pathway design combines the immediate influences of the site with repetitive structural elements, delivering a variation of the initial principle as the resulting object. The anamorphic bridge is derived from the convergence of vantage points at a given site. Through a process of intersection and trimming, a figure emerges that provides circulation and outlook spaces. The effects of creasing in material and form are introduced in a way achieving continuities in surface as well as varied linear spaces. -> EVOLO SKYSCRAPERS 2 - Limited Edition Book. Liste de fractales par dimension de Hausdorff. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Cet article est une liste de fractales, ordonnées par dimension de Hausdorff croissante.

International Database and Gallery of Structures. Creative projects | Matt Bell. I find my life is more fulfilling when I am working on at least one creative side project. Together these projects have taken me on a journey through numerous interesting cognitive landscapes and helped keep my mind fresh for other challenges. My art tends to make use of new technologies – I enjoy the feeling of discovering the first artistic possibilities of a new medium.
Working on such projects also gives me the well-rounded feeling of pulling on a variety of skills from both the technical and artistic sides Here’s a sample of what I’ve done in the last couple of years: Depth-Sculpting Reality with the Kinect 3D camera The Kinect 3D camera (made by PrimeSense) captures the world in true 3D, acquiring distance information along with color in real time. Wood grain for artistic visualization This series of projects explores the use of wood grain as an artistic visualization tool.
