@ [ u t o ] - a collection of past & ongoing works

This is a very interesting Blog from Ursula Frick and Thomas Grabner. They are dealing with some geometrical challenges within Rhino (Script) and Grashopper.

unhappy hipsters - It's lonely in the modern world

Very funny Blog which tackles with stylish buldings and their occupants. :)

kangaroo - live physics for Rhino and Grashopper

"Catenary/Funicular structures and Surface Relaxation are now relatively established methods of form-finding in design, but I think there is potentially a huge variety of other ways in which physical laws could be used (and misused) to create forms which are somehow optimal, interesting, useful, perhaps even beautiful."

Appunti di architettura digitale ed altro

"Il mio intento, come dice il nome del blog, è di "taggare" o meglio linkare ciò che vedo intorno a me nel campo della ricerca architettonica digitale senza voler classificare o dare indicazioni di merito. Voglio solo fornire spunti a chi non conosce l'argomento e stimoli per una ricerca personale a chi è già interessato. Questo blog vuole essere un contenitore di notizie "democraticamente random"."

Formtexx- freeform facades with automotive precision

Formtexx has launched its unique double-curvature facades at The Building Centre. These facades are manufactured using the technology and precision of automotive mass production.

The launch of this innovative process shows that the digital design and manufacture of complex geometry sheet metal work is now a seamless reality. It´s not rapid prototyping – it is rapid manufacturing on an industrial scale. Formtexx has developed an entirely new category of sheet metal processing which produces custom double curvature components to the finish quality and precision of the high end automotive industry. It does this robotically, without fixed tooling, and in the quantities anticipated by major construction projects.

Digital Tectonics: Robotic Fabrication

This is the course blog for Digital Tectonics >> Robotic Fabrication taught within the School of Architecture at Carnegie Mellon University by Jeremy Ficca.

Geometry Gym

Exploring techniques and ideas for design and assessment of structures. Particularly linking Rhino3d with structural analysis programs to assess and explore shape and form.

hyposurface

"HypoSurface is the World's first display system where the screen surface physically moves! Information and form are linked to give a radical new media technology: an info-form device.

The surface behaves like a precisely controlled liquid: waves, patterns, logos, even text emerge and fade continually within its dynamic surface. The human eye is drawn to physical movement, and this gives HypoSurface a basic advantage over other display systems.

As a digital device, any input (sound, movement, an Internet feed...) can be linked to any output (logos, patterns, text...) This offers full interactivity with an audience, and a simple User Interface allows HypoSurface to be 'tuned' to any event, its wide range of effects choreographed easily (by you…)"

free.form.fever - notes on the exploration of hot CAD-based design tools

A very interesting blog about architectural design with parametric software like grasshopper from Heinz Schmiedhofer (TU-Vienna).

eVolo - scryscraper competition

"eVolo is an architecture and design journal published twice-yearly focused on technology advances, sustainability, and innovative design for the 21st century. Our objective is to promote and discuss the most innovative ideas generated around the world. It is a medium to explore the reality and future of architecture and design with up-to-date news, events, and projects."
