hey why don't you mark your buildings to explain or show what's really inside, the plans ? some links ? an open page... get to use this app for the next ones ! it's a great way to connect from reality to the info-sphere (hep or just to internet)...of course that means some "smart phones ".. but it will be accessible in some next years for all !

Do you see the great adventure ? giving informations and some virtual digest to your buildings, but also to use your phone, in linking rooms too ! as your fridge could give its containing with a link to the content on internet .. so easy .. many app are to be done, and i feel happy to read about your tests and experiments or just ideas on that !

Molly Meyer LLC is launching a series of live webinars on sustainable building topics. Every month starting in 2010, we'll host other independent consultants who are experts in areas of sustainability including photovoltaic systems, rainwater harvesting, home energy audits, wind power, integrated design, and much more. These experts from across the USA will present via live online feed to attendees around the world. (AIA/CES credit will be available for many.)

Opening today, the zero-energy-building (ZEB) pilot project in Norway is conceptualized as a single family house with a garden, which sees a categoric amalgamation of architecture and technology - ensuring optimization of both, comfort and energy use. Check out the project here...

A line between art and architecture has truly never been formed. Throughout history the two different disciplines have interlinked, with the latter, for the most part, strongly reflecting, and often relying upon the former. However, functionality, building codes, economic shortages and a number of different factors can often get in the way of artistic freedom in the modern industry. In fact, many critics have argued about the displeasing aesthetics that the rise in green building is having on this industry. While that may be debatable, the relevance of art to architecture has not been forgotten. In fact, one new project has used the strategic inclusion of artistic modes throughout in order to reflect the zeitgeist of an era.

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

MAD Architects unveil the design for the Nanhai Art Centre in Foshan, China. Resembling a continuous wave of water, with three main buildings looming underneath the floating sun canopy, this biomorphic building will be developed as the new public gateway on the waterfront, harmonising social, creative, and natural attributes. 

Based on their core purpose - residential or commercial or both, building design demands sensitivity clubbed with pragmatic approach; besides the number game, which is the crux of any estate. A skillful approach to this genre is exhibited by Park Associati architects from Milan in the design of a residential cum commercial building in a hilly wooded area in Azzate, (VA), Italy.

Architecture has traditionally incorporated a number of fields in its complex processes. From mathematics to the arts, architecture involves a highly varied skill base. But one area that has not been incorporated into architecture is biology. Until now. In recent years, the correlation between biology and architecture has aligned and the two are increasingly become more intertwined. In light of increasing carbon emissions and the rise of the green building sector, architects are becoming increasingly more innovative in their design schemes.

The dip from which the housing market is now recovering had the unintended consequence of boosting new student accommodation build. Although many designs are inspiring, some buildings are paragons of unsuitability.
