Elod Beregszazi is a London based paper artist-engineer that creates some amazing sculptures by cutting, folding, tearing and embossing paper in a field he calls Popupology. You can find more of his work on his flickr page. via triangulation
There are some fascinating design shifts happening at Mercedes-Benz, from the design studio in Sindelfingen to Como to Tokyo to Carlsbad, the hunt is on for “Perfect Aesthetics” and in doing so, they are aggressively pushing their designs to be more fresh, young, emotional, and sexy. A big part of this is the fight to create more artistic explorations through sculpture to push abstract concepts. The idea of art being key to Mercedes-Benz design strategies as well as a beautiful way to tease designs earlier in the year is intriguing. Here are some studies from Karim Habib’s team exploring lightweight forms to play with strength, perspective, and transparency, the results resemble polygons, honeycombs, string art, and woven chaos. via notcot
Our friends at SOFTlab are producing an installation at the bridgegallery in the lower east side of Manhattan. For a month, starting August 26th, CHROMAtex.me will fill a small part of the world with one of their favorite things:COLOR! Please help them fill the installation with your support. They would love to see a name on every panel and have started a kickstarter page to try and help fund the project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/SOFTlab/chromatexme-a-site-specific-installation
Everyone who pledges will get there name laser etched onto a panel and we will send it to them when the installation comes down.
Real 3D-Cell Blocks that build…bio-engineering is here. It may be fair to say that the future of building at all scales is in 3d printing organic matter along with polymers. Have a look at Micromasonary. enjoy>
I knew this day would arrive…it was only a matter of time before Rhino was going to spear-head the development and get it done. iRhino was recently introduced, and for those who own an iPad, its a must have. Overall, it has some limitations, but it is worth the small fee. I was able to load my first 3dm file with no problem. A basic file will take anywhere from 10-20 secs to load…once loaded…there isn’t much you can do when it comes to modeling…but the zooming, panning, and orbit features are smooth..great 3d viewer. I am in the process of testing the stereo mode…More to come>
