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>
I have been studying the Super Ellipse for a project and come across the work of Reza Ali. Have a look at his work…nice tool to explore super-formulas. enjoy>
SOFTlab participated in Random Number’s SYSTEM:SYSTEM exhibition with their site specific installation, pAlice. The piece connects all of the openings in the room with a singular surface, turning it inside-out and giving viewers reference to the exterior of the room without physical access to it. Viewers can also look inside the surface from the outside of the room and see a space that is the surface average of these openings without actually seeing the interior space of the room. pAlice is made of over 2400 laser cut triangles and over 3600 custom connections. All of the tooling and labeling was automated using a custom written MEL script.
core.form-ula is the academic wing of form-ula. Our goal is to provide a platform, be it physical or virtual where architects, artists, designers, engineers, scientists, and writers can come together in collaborative space.
