Information & Photography: Foster +Partners When it comes to design with iconography, stalwarts like Hadid, Rohe, Holl, Foster + Partners etc. - the 'big' league, so to say, create masterpieces that not only have a local impact but become a global benchmark for organic iconic architecture.

Photography: Nigel Young; Hufton & Crow; Courtesy: Foster+Partners Foster & Partners incorporate ambitious environmental strategy in a new sculptural addition to the city of London... Wrapped in a grid of highly reflective cast- aluminium brise soleil, shimmering in the bright sunshine, casting intriguing chiaroscuro effects on the street side, the Walbrook office building stands tall, distinctly individualistic, yet contextually alluding to the historical fabric of its neighbourhood .

What Experts Are Saying "KPF has been using GenerativeComponents for some time and it forms a key component in the armory of the KPF Computational Geometry Group. Several of our most advanced projects employ GenerativeComponents as a tool for exploring thousands of options as well as the complex geometry to be used in final construction, all ultimately benefiting our clients. The nature of GenerativeComponents as a MicroStation extension means that, as a matter of course, our advanced designs can be interchanged with an extraordinary variety of software." - Lars Hesselgren, Kohn Pederson Fox "At Arup, we believe firmly in the principle of integrated design and integrated approaches to design - it's the only way to design complex buildings well. That's why we use GenerativeComponents. And we are not alone. We are starting to see young people coming through the system doing things we could only have dreamed about a few years ago." - J Parrish, Arup Sport "Simplicity seeds complexity. But in the search for form we need to add reference to the representation to articulate the result. GenerativeComponents enables us to find, explore, and regulate forms more rapidly, and to transmit these forms to fabrication more economically." - Hugh Whitehead, Foster + Partners "Grimshaw's offices all share a common DNA. We are a design-driven office, and all projects are informed by the specific location, program, and environmental forces. We employ GenerativeComponents to take in and embed the multitude of inputs and structure them using this common DNA, thus enabling us to rapidly explore a variety of environmentally appropriate solutions for each design project." - Shane Burger, Grimshaw Architects "Using GenerativeComponents, we can accelerate our iteration through design options and, in parallel, assess all concepts and dismiss those that would be uneconomic to construct. As a result, we get to spend more time fine-tuning the best solution.â

Was it an ads blog ? ;.. some branding ? or just the way to find great parts of architecture ? I suppose the best is illustrating architecture seen in real, and orientated for the best living spaces. ok
