PROJECTS. PROJECTiONE was commissioned to complete two projects for the Evansville Museum of Arts History and Science as part of an expansion project that included a new entrance pavilion.

The cladding of the grand staircase was considered an opportunity to add visual interest to an important surface as visitors enter the new facility. As we had […] Concept: In the body, a synapse allows electrical and chemical signals to pass between cells. The synapse permits the stream of data and information to flow through our nervous system. Temporal Synapse takes this anatomical concept and recognizes the linkage between our body and continually developing technology. We recently had the opportunity to take one of our Digital Experiment prototypes to a larger scale for the Innovation Connector, a business incubator which helps entrepreneurs and business owners.

Parametric Design & Digital Fabrication. Digital Design and Representation stand at the core of the education of architects and urban designers.

Parametric Design & Digital Fabrication

Due to the proliferation of computers, the increasing computer literacy amongst incoming students and the fundamental shift in the profession towards the digital, digital design and representation needs to be re-assessed all together. Neither the computer, nor the program, nor the computer user are supposed to replace the classical role of the architect. Instead, the architect needs to embrace and understand the fundamental capacities and limitations of the digital.

The overarching pedagogical concept is the model as information entity. This virtual model can be enhanced with information as needed and later queried in various ways to produce various forms of architectural representations ranging from the classical plans, sections and elevations to advanced forms like building information models (BIM) or computer aided manufacturing (CAM) files.

Attached here are the 1/8″=1′ museum facade files ready to be laser cut. Each group can truncate the facades based on where they are cutting the section. museum facade_ finals -Duncan AAM Rhino Model Hey y’all- So, the Rhino model is finally ready for lasercutting. Some notes on the Rhino model: -If you want the plans and sections to remain as PictureFrames in the model, you need to keep them together in the same folder (all of them are included in the download) -It is built from the plans proposed, not as built drawings. -The interior is mostly unbuilt, but I have already traced the plans and included the sections in the model, should you choose to build it out. Sorry that it took me so long to finish this, but it quickly became more complex than I thought. P More examples of Filipino weaving patterns. Pattern Redux. Trafalgar Square. The opportunity The network of public spaces in central London between Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square is the heart of national government and, for many, the heart of London.

Trafalgar Square

A masterplan for the area was commissioned in 1996 by Westminster City Council and the Greater London Authority, calling for improvements in the quality of the public realm, which – although of supreme historic importance – was perceived to be unpleasant, unsafe, and dominated by traffic. Our contribution Space Syntax provided an initial analysis of pedestrian activity patterns, which highlighted two key issues: Londoners avoided the centre of Trafalgar Square and tourists failed to make the journey between Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square.

Our identification of these problems underpinned Norman Foster’s competition entry and helped his team secure the commission. But, given the historic importance of the context, these solutions required a convincing technical argument. Apomechanes.

Synthetic Grain utilizes computational design and digital fabrication techniques to mimic natural grain patterns and organic forms with synthetic manufactured materials. A grasshopper definition was created that adjusts parallel lines around a set of points or “knots” based on proximity to that point. The result is a three dimensionally curved, contoured surface made of laser cut polystyrene that lock into slots in a plywood backer. The project was developed to be made at various scales by changing material thicknesses and number of custom panels.

This would allow for development as a building skin, retail storefront, or simply the backdrop for a bar. The manner in which the strips engage the wood allow for changing perceptions as the user moves past.
