Our work focuses on the interdisciplinary effects of emergence, biomimetics and the evolutionary computation of design and production technologies, which are developed as creative inputs for new architectural and urban design processes. The instruments of analysis and design in Emergent Technologies are computational processes. Core Studio 1 and 2 – Active Systems Evan Greenberg and Mehran Gharleghi Core Studio 1 – Material Systems Evolutionary strategies and computational techniques are used to develop the architectural qualities of different material systems.
3D Printing Basics | Beginner's guide | 3D printers Table of contents: 1. What is 3D printing? 3D printing is also known as desktop fabrication or additive manufacturing. 2. 3D printing technologies There are several different 3D printing technologies. SLS (selective laser sintering), FDM (fused deposition modeling) & SLA (stereolithograhpy) are the most widely used technologies for 3D printing. This video describes how laser-sintering processes melt fine powders, bit by bit, into 3D shapes. This video shows how FDM works. The video below explains the process of Stereolithography (SLA). Generally, the main considerations are speed, cost of the printed prototype, cost of the 3D printer, choice and cost of materials and color capabilities. 3. October 5, 2011 - Roland DG Corporation introduced the new iModela iM-01. Sep, 2011 - Vienna University of Technology, a smaller, lighter and cheaper printing device has now been developed. This smallest 3D printer weighs 1.5 kilograms, it costs around 1200 Euros. Read more.. 4. 3D printing applications 5. 6.
Min|Day Architecture: Interview with Jeffrey Day | The Architects' Take Monday, June 13, 2011 | Rebecca Firestone | Interviews “Art has conventionally been distinguished from architecture based on utility – architecture must do something, while art is free from functional requirements. However, art can lead us to approach architecture as something more than just rote problem-solving. Ironically, contemporary artists are much more engaged with the actual world through activist agendas that directly address social and environmental problems. Jeffrey L. Way back in the mists of time (2009) when we started this blog, our very first article was about Min|Day Architecture. They’re an unusual firm in several respects. Jeffrey Day spoke with us by telephone. What was your family background? I’m from New England, born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. No one in my family is a designer. My mom has degrees in physics and chemistry. How did you end up doing visual studies at Harvard? I had been interested in architecture for a long time, maybe as far back as junior high.
emmanuelle moureaux architecture + design — Coca-Colasparkling bubbles 2011- ongoing (in construction)Taipei (Taiwan) concept : shine In 2016, the Mass Rapid Transit "Circular Line" will open in New Taipei City. Drawing a large circle, Circular Line will connect the existing lines that spread in radial direction from the City Central. Circular Line is a groundbreaking scheme that will dramatically improve the transport system, where the Taipei City Department of Rapid Transit Systems (DORTS) is responsible for the project and its construction. They plan to have the transportation facility, the Circular Line, as a work of public art piece, for the very first time in the world. Circular Line is a subway system, total length of 34.8 kilometers, in which its 14.5 kilometers are above ground facilities. The concept "shine" was inspired from the theme for the Circular Line project stated by DORTS, 'Like clouds swift passage, the dragon travels thousands miles', and the color scheme of the line, which is "yellow".
Tutorial 8 - Random Points On Surface Introduction The Result of this tutorial A nice possible option in Grasshopper is to use a random generator to add randomness to your design. In this tutorial we will create a grid on a Rhino surface and then randomly pick a predefined number of grid points. The Design The Rhino surface Before we start building the grasshopper model we need to create our Rhino Surface. Step 1 - Creating the basic grid Create the basic grid The first step is to link the Rhino surface within our Grasshopper model. We need to set the surface. RMB on the surface » select “Set one Surface” and click on the Rhino surface To create the grid on the surface we will divide the surface. We want to be able to change the number of divisions in order to change the number of grid points on the surface. Our grasshopper model should now look something like the image on the right. Step 2 - Cleaning up the list of points Looking at the list values What we notice immediately, are the list items with the value "NULL".
ArchiKluge ArchiKluge is the first of a series of small experiments written in Java which explore ‘artificial creativity’, automatic design and generative approaches in architecture. ArchiKluge is a simple Genetic Algorithm that evolves architectural diagrams. It explores the qualities of design made by machines, devoid of any intention, assumptions or prejudices, and which often display a very peculiar form of mindlessly but relentlessly pounding against obstacles and problems until overcoming them, a manner of acting nature and machines commonly exhibit. A Genetic Algorithm is a program that evolves populations of solutions to certain constrains, quite the same way evolutionary processes do in nature. ArchiKluge’s Genetic Algorithm: ArchiKluge implements a Steady State Genetic Algorithm with Tournament selection. For illustrating the resulting circulations through the evolved layouts, the paths left by random walkers, or agents that move randomly through the lattice have been used.
JAMIE MARTIN DESIGN | 2D/3D Concept Designer, Graphic Artist & 3D Modeller | PORTFOLIO My name is Jamie Martin, and I’m an award winning concept designer, graphic artist and 3D modeller based in London, England. I focus primarily on 2D & 3D concept design, as well as GUI (Graphical User Interface) designs for a variety of industries, including film, game, automotive, robotic, military, and others.

Proxy, Architectural Design and Software Development LAUNCH SEQUENCE by Travis Purrington. Creative Systems Protocol & Visual Development of the Highest Order. Min/Day Architecture's Rapid Custom Fabricated Interiors | The Architects' Take Tuesday, July 28, 2009 | Rebecca Firestone | Interviews A few weeks back, I was standing in line at the opening party for Metropolitan Home’s Modern by Design showcase at Baker Street, wondering what the latest from San Francisco’s top interior design luminaries would be. This project, a high-profile rehab of a 7,700 SF home, involved invitations to 14 design studios and giving them the freedom to create the interiors as they pleased – on their own dime. Imagine my surprise at the top to discover Min/Day Architecture’s playful and colorful three-room “Jack and Jill” attic suite with handily elegant Murphy bed tucked away behind a custom-perforated sliding panel, a jewel-like green-tiled bathroom, and an adjoining room featuring large pink dots, with a modular table that looked like something Andy Goldsworthy might do if he ever tried working with stacked birch plywood as a fabrication medium. Stones table I was so curious I went and asked them. “The Murphy bed came first,” began EB.
GEOMETRIC COLLECTION | 13&9 This unique eyewear collection is the result of a collaboration with eyewear designer Martin Lasnik. The collection is developed to geometrical precision using CAD programs and manufactured using cellulose acetate as the architectural material. Based on exactly the same geometrical principles, this design creates highly female as well as strictly masculine pieces beyond the mainstream. Martin Lasnik was born in October 1977 near Graz, Austria. In 1996, he started to work as an optician and optometrist at his father´s eyewear company. Making Of Geometric Collection Diamond Shades The sunglasses are made using a CNC process and are cut and hand finished by an Austrian manufacturer.
