Eschewing the conventional solid house, the London-based firm printed a 1:33 model of a fibrous cave-like dwelling made using a bone growth formula that only puts material where it is structurally necessary. Because water can easily enter the home, waterproofing was added on the inside! Architects / Architecture / Architectural Forums, Jobs, News, CPD, Photos - InBuilding. Loscolores.

The home’s form are unique, it is clad in painted pine planks that allow it to blend in with the rural architecture of the area, because it was borrows the image and function of the eaves found in local farmhouses. There is function behind the Art, the first floor of Crooked house was designed with the rectangular shape, while the second level is inclined at a 40 degree angle, so as adding a cozier feeling to the outdoor patio below its.

Mark Rothko. Mark Rothko (Latvian: Markus Rotkovičs, Russian: Марк Ро́тко; born Ма́ркус Я́ковлевич Ротко́вич; Marcus Yakovlevich Rothkowitz; September 25, 1903 – February 25, 1970) was an American painter of Russian Jewish descent.

He is generally identified as an Abstract Expressionist, although he himself rejected this label and even resisted classification as an "abstract painter.

The term tensegrity was coined by Buckminster Fuller in the 1960s as a portmanteau of "tensional integrity".[2] The other denomination of tensegrity, floating compression, was used mainly by Kenneth Snelson.

Tensegrity as "The Architecture of Life" is an idea developed by Donald E. Ingber, explained in a January 1998 article in Scientific American.[3] Concept[edit] Tensegrity structures are structures based on the combination of a few simple design patterns: Because of these patterns, no structural member experiences a bending moment. Eleanor Hartley points out visual transparency as an important aesthetic quality of these structures.[4] Korkmaz et al.[5][6] put forward that the concept of tensegrity is suitable for adaptive architecture thanks to lightweight characteristics. Applications[edit] In the 1980s David Geiger designed Seoul Olympic Gymnastics Arena for the 1988 Summer Olympics.
