InfoDesign - Hand-picked since 1997InfoDesign | Hand-picked since 1997 Inorganic Speciation Inorganic Speciation by Iain Maxwell + Dave Pigram (supermanoueuvre) Form is the primary instrument through which architecture engages with the world. It is this firmly held position that motivates supermanoeuvre to develop custom methodologies of formation that allow for the explicit and open-ended negotiation between multiple architectural intentions and the complex milieux within which they will operate. These methodologies are algorithmic in nature, primarily digitally enacted, and extend the capacities of the form-finding tradition within architecture through a decoupling of its processes from the limits of physics, enabling a broader examination of the number and nature of negotiable inputs. Architectural form is concerned with organisation across multiple scales (programmatic, material and structural) enmeshed in a complex feedback loop with the forces, events and behaviours that simultaneously drive and are driven by them. -Source Like this: Like Loading...
Visualisation of Live Code « Alex McLean I wrote a paper with Dave Griffiths and Nick Collins on the visualisation of live code, exploring ideas around live coding interfaces, accepted for the EVA London 2010 conference in July. A HTML version is below, or see the PDF Preprint. Alex McLean (Goldsmiths), Dave Griffiths (FoAM), Nick Collins (University of Sussex) and Geraint Wiggins (Goldsmiths) Abstract In this paper we outline the issues surrounding live coding which is projected for an audience, and in this context, approaches to code visualisation. 1. Live coding, the improvisation of video and/or music using computer language, has developed into an active field of research and arts practice over the last decade (Wang and Cook; 2004; Ward et al.; 2004; Collins et al.; 2003). A frequent criticism of computer music is the lack of performance, where an artist hides behind their laptop screen, and the audience is unable to see any activity that might ground their experience of the music (Cascone; 2003). 2. 2.1. 3. 3.1. 3.2. 4.
Vega sgarticles "power of the air all worked out with counting…" by Sam Wilkinson, 16 April 2013 The inventor of the barometer, Evangelista Torricelli, once wrote that we live submerged at the bottom of an ocean of air. This ocean extends leagues above our heads where it dissolves into space, is dragged around by the spinning earth, and pushed about by density differentials caused by the heat of the sun. In the lower atmosphere surface friction from mountains, trees and cities causes largely unpredictable turbulence. Turbulence remains one of the great unsolved complexities in physics as there is no known theory to fully describe the phenomenon (Clay Mathematics Institute, 2000). read more Levels of Uncertainty in Design by Sean Hanna, 3 April 2013 We live in a globally interconnected world in which unforeseen events have unprecedented impact, and uncertainty seems to be a defining trait of the age. read more Polymorphic Matter: A post-mechanistic material approach by Manuel Kretzer, 15 March 2013 read more

(via kottke) William Stone Branching Drawings (identified by wowgreat) Geometric choropleths 1895 vs 1978 The Imbalancing Act of Entropic Architecture los angeles CALIFORNIA Within a discipline where the exact translation of virtual instructions, in the form of drawings or codes, to their material actualization has historically played a decisive role, the current use of algorithmic design tools and computer numerical control (CNC) fabrication technologies would seem to all but eliminate the possibility for exactitude to submit to some external corrupting influence. Paradoxically, the seduction of algorithmic precision has become partially exhausted in the fulfilled promise of its own fidelity. images, clockwise from top left: Christina ANTON, “Synthetic Rhizome.” The relationship between synthetic systems and organic matter can be, and has historically been, considered in terms of entropy. The application of digital technologies into design, information processing, and fabrication introduces an unprecedented level of precision into our transactions with matter.
