It had seemed that the work of Torgeir Husevaag would be a fitting way to start out the New Year. In the Freeze Out series he has created a set of map/diagrams that track the performance that is played out on a poker table. With a high degree of sensitivity and rigor he has produced an enchanting world that begins to reveal the flow of a very specific type of information; RISK. read more

Call for papers and artworks - ACM SIGGRAPH 2009/Leonardo

Lira Nikolovska, Chair of Design and Computation of SIGGRAPH 2008, asked Core.Form-ula to encourage the submission of papers and artwork for SIGGRAPH 2009. Having participated in SIGGRAPH 2008-Design and Computation in LA, it is incredible array of work exemplifying how computation is used in many design disciplines. Crafting through computation is something designers have learned to master to great lengths, I believe we will get the chance to see the other shades of computation and design in Morphology being introduce at this event. Please take the time to review the details of the event.

The Epithelium Studio offers a specialized design laboratory examining responsive architectural envelopes.  Epithelium, a cellular boundary layer in organic physiology, will be used as an analogy defining qualities of hybrid interactive building  systems.  A design method based on cycles of accretion and synthesis will be used to organize the work of the term, moving from individual design explorations to collective gallery installation.  The work focuses on four key design products: lightweight structural scaffolds, functional devices providing environmental exchanges populating the structure; kinetic mechanisms that integrate physical movement within the system, and integrated control systems employing microprocessors, sensors and actuators. These elements will be developed in pursuit of innovative responsive qualities that include basic life support functions, emotive and iconographic qualities for architecture.

Studio Participants: Thomas Allen, Xuedi Chen, Joanna Cheung, Nicolas Gomez, Peechaya Mekasuvanroj, Brad Rothenberg , Changyup Shin, Shawn Sims ,Weiyun Wang & Noah Zerkin read more
