Working on a project where you open the door to propose the best of your design, an agency that you feel so avant-garde design with sticks and stones, is a unique opportunity to showcase and strive to experiment with concrete elements. Thus, the Centre for Mathematical Modeling at the University of Chile contact Thesis DG, to make a paper which seeks to explain how advanced mathematics can explain from the simplest problem, until the trend of expansion and more complex organic growth. read more
Claudio Sinatti was commissioned to shoot Italian footballer Marco Materazzi for the Nike “Art of Football” exhibition. He built a special frame to hang on the player to film from all angles while he kicked the pig’s bladder around. read more

Few things are more useful or essential than light, electromagnetic radiation that travels as a wave through space. This Cribsheet covers the basics of light: the electromagnetic spectrum, wave-particle duality, and how light interacts with matter. read more
Treating each individual square as a potential receptor of light, the massing model of Exeter was subjected to both summer and winter sun patterns. Looking at the angle and asimuth of the sun, the mass was broken down into varying zones of intensity codified by a monochromatic scale of grey tones. (The darker the zone the higher the exposure to light at that time of day/year) read more
