20th Century Furniture & Architecture
Expert auprès de la Compagnie Nationale des Experts, Patrick Seguin est une des figures incontournables du marché du design du 20e siècle. Installé depuis 1989 dans le quartier de la Bastille dans un espace de 300 mètres carrés, il a su faire découvrir et promouvoir à une échelle internationale le talent de créateurs français tels que : Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret et Jean Royère. La rigueur et le professionnalisme qui ont fait sa réputation, lui ont valu d’être sollicité par les musées les plus renommés pour contribuer à des expositions, et le caractère d’exception des pièces sélectionnées par Patrick Seguin a donné lieu à des expositions inédites à l’invitation de grandes galeries internationales. La galerie participe à Design Miami Basel et à Design Miami, ainsi qu’à la Fiac à Paris.
Rhino ++ Grasshopper – Plethora Project
Plethora-Project.com is an initiative to accelerate computational literacy in the frame of architecture and design. It aligns with the "show me your screens" motto of the TopLap live-coding group attempting to get rid of Obscurantism in digital design. Directed by Jose Sanchez Contact me at : jomasan@gmail.com

Grasshopper
This component implements a mixed approach to creating curves of constant width for regular polygons of odd segment count. This series of components access the sun system in Rhino and allow for control and returning of sun parameters. These two components allow for two means of list organization. Shear List takes a list of data and creates two lists, one with the last item removed and a second with the first item removed creating a staggered pair of lists making value comparisons simple. Pair takes a list and creates a datatree with pairs of sequential values from the list.

Vous trouverez ci dessous une liste des outils que j’utilise, avec ou sans commentaire de ma part. En tant que particulier je privilégie le prix et les logiciels libres. Mais je reste exigeant sur l’ergonomie. et enfin mon dernier critère est la puissance et le potentiel. Plateforme Windows: C’est ce que j’utilise par défaut quand je ne suis pas contraint par un logiciel à utiliser autre chose.

RhinoVAULT Beta
Funicular Form Finding The Rhinoceros ® Plug-In rhinoVAULT emerged from current research on structural form finding using the Thrust-Network-Approach to intuitively create and explore compression-only structures. Using reciprocal diagrams, it provides an intuitive, fast method, adopting the same advantages of techniques such as Graphic Statics, but offering a viable extension to fully three-dimensional problems. Mission Our goal is to share key aspects of our research in a comprehensible and transparent setup to let one not only create beautiful shapes but also to give the user an understanding of the underlying structural principles.

Séance 11 : Evaluer l’ensoleillement
Cette séance est dans la continuité de la précédente. Elle a encore pour thème l'évaluation et l'optimisation. Il s’agit de simuler un mécanisme de recherche de forme inspiré de la conception du city-hall de Londres. Modélisation paramétrique de l’enveloppe
FoldaRap
FoldaRap2 Release status: working In my obsession dreaming of a folding RepRap, I finally started to make one, after 5-7 months of development I'm able to travel with it around the town/country/world :) (adventures pictured on flickr / youtube / ustream) And now several people have build one : FoldaRap_Hall-of-Builds, even some by sourcing themselves the parts : google-maps (the red dots) Specifications
Behind the scenes: visualizing debates on Wikipedia
How consensus on wikipedia is reached? During the 2013 DensityDesign course, a group of students was analyzing the different positions on the abortion as family planning method. To identify how persons with different positions interact, part of their work focused on the italian Wikipedia page “Dibattito sull’Aborto” (Abortion Debate). Wikipedia, in fact, is a place where knowledge is built through the collaboration of several contributors that don’t necessarily share the same point of view: the results are neutral contents built with negotiation. The video below was part of the final keynote to present their project, “Unborn discussion“, and is the animated synthesis of the visual report they’ve produced. We found really effective the way our students analyzed and presented it, so we asked them to explain the design process they used both to analyse and to visualize it.

A New Way of Visualizing Solar Radiation
Last fall a custom data visualization developed by our research team was featured on the information is beautiful website as part of their information is beautiful awards. In this post we discuss why we developed the graphic and how it is used. Incident Solar Radiation is one of the most common types of analysis performed by architects at the conceptual design stage.
LACT PART 2: Quantifying Complexity
Part one of this article discussed facade design and environmental analysis. In the second half, we focus on system rationalization and conceptual cost estimating. A more detailed description of real-time scheduling, tagging, and rationalization using Grasshopper for Rhino is also covered. As mentioned in part one, the design-build competition format presented us with a unique challenge. While design-build is often described as a partnership between an integrated design and construction team, the reality is that builders remain the principle contract holders while architects serve as their design consultants.
