Bitelia BrightProofs | Phil Seaton Phil’s interests and skills as a designer cross a variety of inter-disciplinary bounds. His programming experience across many platforms ranging from server-side web development to parametric design solutions augment other interests in materiality, construction, and engineering. He has taught design skills, design studios, and structures while pursuing his own degree in architecture. Phil’s work as a Master’s of Architecture at MIT from 2008-2012 focused on the treatment of energy as a social medium. While sustainability has traditionally been the responsibility of technicians pursuing cleaner energy production and more efficient energy use, Phil came to believe strongly in the importance of bringing energy use into personal, cultural, and social space. By treating electricity socially, a critical new avenue of sustainability opens. Download Current Resume email
DAL Canopy Design / Digital Architectural Lab Developers: ES5 builds are disabled during development to take advantage of 2x faster build times. Please see the example below or our config docs if you would like to develop on a browser that does not fully support ES2017 and custom elements. Note that as of Stencil v2, ES5 builds and polyfills are disabled during production builds. Enabling ES5 builds during development: npm run dev --es5 For stencil-component-starter, use: npm start --es5 Enabling full production builds during development: npm run dev --prod npm start --prod Current Browser's Support: Current Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0 This Phone Charger Uses Crystal Orbs to Focus the Sun's Rays | Wired Design A $149 solar smartphone charger called Beta.ey features a ball lens and minuscule multi-junction solar cell that can charge a smartphone one and a half times per day. RawLemon The theory underlying the project is that gleaming crystal globes can concentrate diffuse sunlight, or even moonlight, onto a tiny, hyper-efficient photovoltaic cell. The crystal ball is paired with a dual-motion tracking system that keeps the sun's energy focused on the cell throughout the day. The hope is that these innovations will make solar power a practical solution in parts of the world where it's previously been a non-starter. Ball lenses are a novelty in solar power, but they are commonly used as a coupling tool in laser-based applications, endoscopes, and barcode scanners. In order to prove out the concept and generate investment he has put the principle to work in consumer product form. Pigments would add color to the globes, but slightly reduce their efficacy.

Landscapes evolve through constantly changing conditions, and a dynamic response to natural environments can never be considered final. Autonomous systems can enable this adaptive and continuous transformation of terrain instead of simply creating predefined and static earthworks. Robotic Landscapes – Designing the Unfinished opens up insights into landscape design’s evolving culture by proposing a new equilibrium between natural and mechanical forces. The Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich has been researching the integration of robots into the architectural practice, both in design and the fabrication process, for some time.
Tracking and managing construction site punch lists Enfoques sobre la tecnología Número 2 / Enero - Abril 2002 Artículos Enfoques sobre la tecnología Carlos Osorio M. Carlos Osorio M. es profesor de la Unidad de Gestión Tecnológica de la Escuela de Ingeniería Industrial y Estadística de la Universidad del Valle de Colombia. Introducción Definir la palabra "tecnología" se ha vuelto algo complejo y sujeto a un conjunto de relaciones y de puntos de vista diversos. Winner nos dice, que en los siglos XVIII y XIX, "technology" tuvo un sentido estricto, limitado, en función de las artes prácticas o el conjunto de las artes prácticas y no el conjunto increíblemente variado de fenómenos, herramientas, instrumentos, máquinas, organizaciones, métodos, técnicas, sistemas y la totalidad de todas estas cosas y otras similares en nuestra experiencia(1) (Winner, 1.979). Podemos dar lugar a otras referencias sobre la tecnología para ejemplificar otros múltiples significados, ya no del contexto cultural angloamericano. 1.Enfoques sobre la tecnología 1.1. 1.2.
3D Modeling for 3D Printing Whether you’re looking at prototyping or designing something creative, 3D printing can easily help bring your idea to life. To exploit the potential of rapid prototyping to its fullest, you’ll need to know how to design 3D files. These files can be designed using a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software application. These applications are already being heavily used in product design and modeling. Modeling for 3D printing is slightly different from 3D modeling for renders. 1. Minimum wall thickness is defined as the minimum required thickness that your model should have at any given point. Remember, in some cases maximum wall thickness can also cause problems. Visualize, analyze and think about your design. 2. Every printing material is different. The choice of your printing material only pre-determines some of the basic design guidelines that you need to stick to. 3. Remember the 45-degree rule - if overhangs are greater than 45 degrees, they will need support material. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
