30. Meridian Competition: Daniel Widrig / Melike Altinisik win first prize. The 21 meter high landmark structure close to Istanbul is scheduled to open in 2013.
Dazzle Trains is our competition entry for the Van Alen Institute's, "Life at the Speed of Rail" design competition. Entrants were asked to imagine the future of high speed rail in America. The project received an honorable mention. Project designed with Abby Richardson .
As part of a seminar course dealing with visionary architecture held by designer, architect, engineer, and professor Elena Manferdini, I developed this futuristic illustration of Las Vegas with Vegas native Donovan Ballantine. The base of the image was an incredibly dense 3d Maya Model of the city of Las Vegas (8 GB file!). The secondary stage of the process was the texture mapping and painting of this geometry using 3D scanned geometry and ZBrush to texture the modeled surfaces. The final image is a mash up many softwares and collage, photoshop, etc to create an image that hopefully transcends the look of just one visual style, but incorporates layers of the real and the uncanny.

In addition to including “Out of Practice” in their February book roundup (above), Surface Magazine reviewed SHoP’s new monograph on its website, saying: “…The now 16-year-old firm, based in Manhattan, has positioned itself as a band of amiable pragmatists in a field overcrowded with shallow corporatists, scholastic snobs, and ductile aesthetes. The office’s devotion to this unified practice is on full view in its new monograph, Out of Practice (Monacelli), which illustrates how principals Kimberley Holden, Gregg Pasquarelli, Christopher Sharples, Coren Sharples, and William Sharples have applied their backgrounds in design, construction, and development to projects of every scale, from their breakthrough winning proposal for the first-annual MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program to their upcoming Barclays Center sports complex in Brooklyn.”
Only an architectural Luddite would disagree that architecture is the subject of constant transmutation. This transmutation is necessary for architecture’s continued centrality in respect to society. The frequency and amplitude are becoming extreme. Neil Spiller :Digital Dreams. Page 23
Ahylo studio is an architectural design practice based in Athens, Barcelona and New York, that operates in every stage of the design process from concept to construction. Through algorithmic and material processes of self-organisation, we seek to develop design methodologies that foment the behaviour of non-linear systems. We experiment on contemporary techniques in design and construction and our work aims to be innovative, economical, and functional. Ahylo studio’s ongoing work and research includes projects in Greece, Peru, Spain and the USΑ. Ahylo derives from the Greek prefix [a] and [υλη-hyle], the matter.
