The Office for Robotic Architectural Media & Bureau for Responsive Architecture In 1889, in the midst of industrial and social change, the Eiffel Tower was opened as a structure that completely revolutionized the building technologies of the day. It demonstrated in a very tangible way that very tall, lightweight, construction was feasible - this success was felt across across the globe. Filamentosa (Chicago Illinois) is a new type of ultra-lightweight skyscraper that integrates responsive technologies into its structural frame and living skins to reduce the amount of material and energy required to live within, construct and maintain large scale structures. Lightweight Actuated Structures Design Research More than being a series of smart systems attached to a dumb building frame, responsive architectures actually consist of intelligent frames, skins and systems.

grafices Avatar Aang. mellifluousmagnate said: I disagree about his flaws being well written for the end conflict: his not killing Ozai wasn't upholding his pacifist beliefs, it was running from a problem - which is a consistent character flaw. Except that in Ozai's case, if not for the deus ex lionturtle (that Aang didn't know existed until an hour prior), he would have been defeated because of his inability to condone killing.

ylva’s home in sweden This is the home of Ylava Skarp in Leksand, Sweden. Her stunning house was recently featured in Swedish magazine PLAZA Interior. I love the high ceilings (image above), the combination of white, wood and black (image below) and that typical Swedish wood burning stove. (images by Karin Foberg/via PLAZA Interior)

That’s great to hear that you’ve made up your mind so resolutely! kaufwahn asked: Hey, do you have any tips/ resources on how to design good layouts for a presentation of a project ? Usually i go to pinterest/google for inspiration, and it’ll also depend on what kind of style suits your project. sarsakailas asked: Hey! Hmm is this in preparation for your interview?
