    but it seems sometimes in a 70s old project .. with no references to new architcture, next scripted one.. beautiful in some parts, unrealistic in others.. in fact this is an inspiring one. not a model... but to discuss on, it is a good beginning

When Designing Space Moves Outside - 0 views

  •  
    Due to its incredible benefits, both physical and mental, the connection between interior and exterior architecture has increased in popularity. This is especially relevant in neutral climes, where temperatures tend not to be too extreme, especially in terms of the colder months. Here in Australia, the inside/outside design element is often essential, as our mostly warmer climate allows us to embrace the fact that open-air spaces work best. Landscape architecture plays into this reality, and is now really finding its relevance as we move further into outdoor spaces. One design located in Melbourne is showing the power of landscape architecture in creating community spaces without walls.

Out of Luck for Chinese Architecture - 0 views

  •  
    Architecture in China can so often be polarising. In fact, the entire industry seems to have that affect on the world. There are those who applaud the Chinese for their extensive and rapid construction work, which includes the world's fastest apartment construction, the creation of entire cities in just five years and of course the developments in Shenzhen, one of the world's fastest growing cities. And then there are others who critique the country for having a 'fake' and 'blood soaked' GDP due to high levels of what some have labeled 'dangerous and unnecessary' industry work. Well, the design debate has been sparked yet again with the unveiling of China's latest industry venture.

Swedish Vertical Farm - 0 views

  •  
    Urban farming, vertical forests and sky garden design concepts are currently seeing a huge amount of global attention. The reason being is that they offer to answer a huge question for most living in city spaces: How can we live a greener lifestyle in the city? That question is answered through these incredible designs. Urban farming offers to cater to the food needs of cities in a way that is sustainable and doesn't involve high levels of carbon emissions through transport processes, vertical forests add extensive green spaces in areas that are space short and sky gardens add a sense of community and a greener lifestyle to otherwise 'brown', boring living spaces.

Critics Hit Melbourne CBD Expansion - 0 views

  •  
    The announcement that Melbourne is set to receive one of its largest redevelopments on record has set the tongues of both the nation, and the globe, wagging. Finding even further international acclaim last year when it was deemed the World's Most Liveable City, Melbourne has seen a massive population surge, topping 85,000 new residents a year, causing both industry and government leaders to put together in a scheme which aims to perform the dual function of expanding and refurbishing the central Melbourne area. Much like Sydney's Barangaroo project, this latest CBD expansion is too large and high-impact to go unnoticed, for both positive and negative reasons.

Construction an Underwater Vision - 0 views

  •  
    The architecture industry has been in recent times exploring the growing world of artificial organisms. We have continuously covered this increasing trend, with examples of man-made organics in China and Singapore, varying from artificial islands, to trees and most recently coral reefs. It is no surprise that through the heightened levels of toxins and rubbish now running into our oceans everyday that certain sections of incredibly valuable, and aesthetically stunning underwater environments are dying. This is caused by various reasons including: the everyday home owner chemical run offs, the larger oil spills and natural disasters, but the fact is, we are killing it faster than it is able to grow back.

Greenwash Conceals Sustainable Building Opus | The Earthship - 0 views

  •  
    In the architectural and building sectors, we have explored, promoted and dissected the fact that we are currently battling greenwash so much, that we may in fact be greenwashing the aforementioned greenwash. Indeed the term is so readily bandied about, that it no longer makes sense and is therefore responded to as a null and void sentiment. As confusing as that may seem, it holds the key to the reason that we are stuck in a vicious industry cycle that is unfortunately blocking the promotion of some incredible, and highly sustainable, built projects. Due to a confusion and misrepresentation of certain green and sustainable buildings and features, a number of these incredible designs, and their built forms, are being lost in the jungle of false green advertisement. One incredible design that, more often than not, does not receive the deserved appreciation is that of the humble Earthship.

India Art n Design Global Hop: House of Convexities - 0 views

  •  
    If architecture is music in stone can its "limbs" dance? Architecture only remains still in pic­tures. In real life its natural state is one of tran­sition. Both man and light move within it. Inside a house among coarse Mediterranean glades and corrugated stone walls, a slanting light, pierced by innumerable narrow repeated blades, inscribes and describes the walls with its imper­manent, mutable hand.

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 !

  • Alain Juppé, pendant le débat, a pour sa part mis en avant la question des "nouveaux savoirs", rappelant que les élus ne "savaient pas toujours " quels choix faire en matière de développement urbain respectueux de l'environnement. "De l'argent, il y en a, ce n'est pas ça le blocage. Le problème de départ est d'avoir une idée, un projet", a-t-il ajouté.

Google Cities in 3D Program - 0 views

  • Put your city on the 3D map Engage the public by featuring your city's buildings, landmarks and terrain on Google Earth. If your local government is like many around the world, you've invested in developing a 3D model representing buildings in your city's downtown--perhaps your entire jurisdiction. Or, maybe you haven't yet produced a 3D model, but you've collected the geospatial data necessary for producing a model. With Google's Cities in 3D Program, your local government can share this 3D data with the public by adding a model of your city to Google Earth. More than 350 million Internet users have turned to Google Earth to better understand and navigate their world.

    here it is the very start of the global digitalisation of the real world ... as architects or modelers, let's play in !

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.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • 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 !

    the rapid prototypage (here uin french.. but)

    Pourrait-il y avoir du prototypage rapide à l'échelle d'un batiment ? ou disons des pièces de 2 à 3m de long ... produites en série à moindre cout...(!)
