MATSYS

“Established in 2004 by Andrew Kudless, Matsys is a design studio that explores the emergent relationships between architecture, engineering, biology, and computation. Based on the idea that architecture can be understood as a material body with its own intrinsic and extrinsic forces relating to form, growth, and behavior, the studio investigates methodologies of performative integration through geometric and material differentiation. The studio’s work ranges from speculative and built projects to the crafting of new tools which facilitate an interdisciplinary approach to the design and fabrication of architecture.”

Freedom Of Creation

“Freedom Of Creation (FOC) is where cutting edge technology meets design. FOC is a pioneering design and research company, specialized in designing with 3D printing technologies. The outcome of this work is either part of the FOC Collection or commercialized by other design labels. Since 2000, the extensive research conducted by FOC in design with 3D printing, has resulted in innovative and successful commercial products, the development of new industrial materials and even software products, and has been the foundation for significant R&D projects with a range of industrial partners.”

Martian landscapes

“Since 2006, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been orbiting Mars, currently circling approximately 300 km (187 mi) above the Martian surface. On board the MRO is HiRISE, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera, which has been photographing the planet for several years now at resolutions as fine as mere inches per pixel.” boston.com/bigpicture via flight404@twitter

ACADIA 2008: Silicon + Skin

Juried exhibition, biological processes and computation. Image: Fiber Composite Structures: Growth under Stress, Christina Doumpioti, Architectural Association, Emergent Technologies + Design. “The core idea of this research, entitled “Fibre Composite Structures: Growth Under Stress”, is the incorporation of the morphogenetic principles found in natural systems in order to generate a fibre-composite structure. The aim is the integration of form, material, structure and program into a multi-performative system that will satisfy simultaneously several objectives.”

Generative Gestaltung

a book about generative design by Hartmut Bohnacker, Benedikt Groß, Julia Laub, Claudius Lazzeroni. “For a few years now, generative design has been an insider tip at media art festivals and conferences. An interplay of complex information, graphic design and the opportunities provided by programming generate new, fascinating visual worlds that can visualize correlations and concurrences or allow chance to do the designing. We are experiencing a paradigm shift in design, which leads to new, formal visual worlds.” (yet only in german).

MonaTweeta II

The image on the left is what I currently manage to send in 140 characters via twitter. [..] The chinese in this case is just a host for my parasitic image bytes - it does not really make sense (although, sending it through the translator gives me ideas for some other experiments). I could have used other parts of unicode ( unicode.org/charts/ ), but then there might be a lot of non-defined font symbols among them which would not look so nice.”

This year’s festival identity was created collaboratively by Wieden+Kennedy & Karsten Schmidt (PostSpectacular). [..] To complete the community ethos of our identity concept we decided to open source the entire generator, installation software & tools in the hope to encourage further discussion, educate and hopefully see some wonderful new additions/re-renderings of the whole concept…”

SYNTHe

by Alexis Rochas, “In a city covered by over 4,000 square miles of asphalt and cinder block, the green roof movement may have just won a serious coup with SYNTHe, an urban rooftop garden prototype designed by SCI-arc professor and architect Alexis Rochas. [..] SYNTHe is a self-sufficient ecosystem that could offer a myriad of environmental benefits. Besides helping to filter pollutants, increasing thermal insulation of the roof, and reducing storm water runoff, the roof top garden sets forth a complete productive cycle. Food will be grown, consumed, and ultimately returned to the cycle in the form of compost on the premises.”

Kinetic Wave Sculptures

by Reuben Margolin. “On the spiral wave the original concept came during a rafting trip, every time you paddle, there is this spiral sort of eddy coming off the back of the paddle in the water, and after 10 days of looking at that thing i had a spiral wave more or less figured out. So then i came back here to my shop [..]” via make magazine, hazel-lim
