SHINOBU [perseverance] Art Show and Benefit
core.form-ula is curating Miya Ando’s first large-scale works show entitled Shinobu [perseverance] to open October 7 at the de Castallane gallery. Her show will be comprised of large scale steel wall works and her series of special edition hot-rolled steel skateboards created for Element. The Steel skateboards are an exact size/thickness replica of a traditional wood skateboard, hand finished with fire, acid, patina and automotive lacquer. Ando will also be showing a hot-rolled steel 36″ x 48″ x 72″ skateboard ramp/sculpture collaborative piece (created with Shelter Serra) which will be etched by muriatic acid-coated skateboard wheels ridden on the ramp. Finally, she will be creating and showing monotypes created as an interactive performance piece on the skate ramp. read more

Zero-E Adds Eco-Bling to Architectural Modeling
BY Cliff KuangThu -via: Fast Company
Woods Bagot and Buro Happold have invented a design program that helps architects and engineers create zero-emissions buildings. These days, progressive architects and engineers wax philosophical about bio-mass digesters, photovoltaics, and water recycling systems. But what is their effect, really? Will they truly make a difference? Woods Bagot, an Australia-based architecture mega-firm, and Buro Happold, a British giant in architectural engineering, have teamed up to produce Zero-E, a system for modeling building performance that might help architects understand the precise effects of all the eco-bling that they add to their buildings. While systems like this already exist for building systems such as LEED, Woods Bagot claims that this is the first time anyone has developed something that integrates such advanced technologies–and tests them against the supremely rigorous standard of zero emissions.

Over the past couple of years, core.form-ula has been experimenting with Ecotect/Grasshopper connection for developing advanced performative geometries within the design process. As performative design concepts become more accessible to designers, we will see more analysis tools being developed for the design process. Introducing GECO, developed by [uto] Ursula Frick and Grabner Thomas. Geco allows seamless integration Rhino/Grasshopper with Ecotect analysis. As we establish methods for understanding surface-based-analysis, we will be moving into volumetric-base-analysis…this is where the future of performative design will play itself out. I would like to see [uto] develop a tool that integrates energy modeling to live geometry….I have spoken with [uto] and we both feel this an important development that needs to happen. [uto] has informed me they have begun looking into this effort. Enjoy>

I wanted to feature Ernesto Neto a few years ago when I visited his exhibition at the Hayward Gallery because it touched on many ideas critical to design. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to see some of his installations…I hope this feature post brings you a little closer to the spaces he creates. Enjoy>
