Bentley Announces Trial Program for Generative Design - 0 views

  •  
    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

Integrating Biology into Architecture - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Modern Maintenance Unit Solutions: Functional & Aesthetic - 0 views

  •  
    Towers are marketed as iconic places to work, live, visit and simply experience. It is important that they keep up their appearance. But the maintenance and cleaning of tall buildings can be a complex and costly business for building owners. Conversely, the integration of large and unsightly building maintenance units (BMU) can potentially compromise the architectural design integrity. Modern BMU designs combine the integration of efficient, cost effective cleaning and maintenance procedures with a solution that maintains the aesthetic ambitions. The cleaning technology options are numerous; from traditional abseiling techniques to self climbing cradles and davit arms, through to monorail systems and BMU machines.

Abu Dhabi Arts Centre - Sculpture or Building? - 0 views

  •  
    In the construction and design industry, architecture is one of the most complex and multi-faceted sectors. As we have stated previously, it encompasses a whole range of broad and varying components, from mathematics to the currently trending biology. At its most basic root though, architecture deals with form. It is for this reason that architecturally designed buildings are able to become art forms as one of the industry's most artistically based facets. It only makes sense then, due to the crossover and widely varied field, that some buildings would share these sculpturally formed aspects more than others. One such building that is due for completion this year and is an example of the aforementioned form is architectural firm Zaha Hadid's Performing Arts Centre in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Lettre de l'Innovation - 0 views

  • Depuis, des technologies de frittage de poudre et de fusion laser ont été développées pour la production de pièces métalliques (DMLS et SLM). Tous ces procédés fonctionnent sur le même principe de fabrication additive, c’est-à-dire une superposition de couches de matières, contrairement aux méthodes de fabrication traditionnelles où la pièce est taillée dans la masse. Validation d’un concept Initialement utilisées dans l’industrie Automobile, l’Aéronautique, l’Aérospatial et l’Armement, ces nouvelles techniques de prototypage s’étendent aujourd’hui dans d’autres domaines comme la Médecine, l’Architecture, le Design et se perfectionnent suivant les besoins nécessaires. Dans le processus de conception, il y a d’abord la validation du modèle numérique puis du modèle physique. La numérisation de l’objet virtuel (CAO) est indispensable à la concrétisation de l’objet réel. Ce dernier permet de faire évoluer la conception par l’ensemble de l’équipe du projet et d’appréhender très vite ses défauts, voir de diminuer les risques de modifications lors de son industrialisation. Réduction du coût et du temps de réalisation Les techniques de prototypage rapide permettent de produire des pièces en une seule opération sans outillage ce qui minimise les risques. Seules quelques étapes de dépoudrage ou de retrait des supports sont nécessaires mais n’influencent pas les coûts et temps de fabrication qui restent faibles. Par ailleurs, le surplus de matière qui n’a pas été transformé est récupéré et réutilisé soit directement après la réalisation de la pièce soit après un recyclage complet. De nouvelles formes Outre l’économie de temps, de matière ou d’argent, les techniques de prototypage rapide offrent de nouvelles possibilités de formes. En effet ce sont les seules techniques qui permettent de produire des formes complexes, imbriquées les unes dans les autres en une seule opération.
  • Ces systèmes de production sont pour l’instant voués à la petite série car au-delà d’une certaine quantité de pièces à produire, il devient plus rentable d’utiliser les moyens de production classiques. Il ne faut pas oublier que la fonction première de ces techniques est  la réalisation de prototypes.

  • Ses utilisateurs très souvent à l’origine de nouvelles expériences, orienteront probablement les fabricants de machines de prototypage voir de production rapide, vers de nouvelles applications toujours plus innovantes. En attendant, le prototypage rapide sera le sujet de la prochaine exposition thématique de l’Innovathèque visible à l’Institut Technologique FCBA à partir du mois de juin 2008 !

realXtend - 0 views

  • The number of interesting applications for the near future is great. A truly functional virtual reality platform has to cope with a number of different use cases from city planning to elderly care or teleconferencing software. Virtual reality’s strongest points are interpersonal communications applications and human-technology interfaces; the true value of the extended web is in connecting the real world with the new user interface. Top 5 applications for realXtend (in our own opinion): Virtual meeting tools Reduce travel costs and enhance quality over traditional telephone and video conferences Collaboration and social interaction Imagine your team members sharing applications and thoughts while they are geographically distributed, but virtually co-located. Advanced user interface Complex applications, such as home automation control, are easier to understand and use when they are presented in 3D applications. Collaborative Games realXtend is an ideal platform to make novel multiplayer game titles. It features many aspects that do not exist anywhere else. Collaboration, co-building and dynamic worlds offer rich possibilities for entirely new kinds of games. Visualisation technologies Visualize enormous amounts of data and make it comprehensible for the end user. For example, building information models and architect's drawings can be presented as a 3D world, where users can walk around and visualize how things are going to look.

    based on the realxtend engine... 3d virtual worlds are to be complete parts of an architecture project: more than just showing moidels, it will implied people and also partners (industrails too) to achive and conceive the next projects in architecture !
