After many requests from our readers to conduct a design workshop, core.form-ula will begin its first intensive-hands-on craft series workshop at the de Castellane Gallery located in the heart of Brooklyn, minutes away from Manhattan by subway. The workshop will cover the use of Ecotect and Rhino/Grasshopper to develop techniques of evaluating performative form in architecture.
Given our predisposition for even greater control today over an ever-increasingly complex universe, the next generation of animate assemblies within the discipline of architecture will inevitably be comprised of a more complex amalgamation of scripted equations capable of reenacting the most spectacular effects. In response, our modular ceiling system and custom chandeliers for the Choice restaurant were specifically developed to test the potential of intricacy, animate form and material effects for an architecture of serial distraction. -Evan Douglis read more
We are pleased to announce the formation and beta launch of Digital Futures (DF). DF will be the home for all content pertaining to state-of-the-art software in the architectural education at Pratt Institute. It will have a physical presence in the form of consultants, workshops, lectures and symposiums. DF will also have an on-line presence (http://www.digitalfutures.info/) that will archive assets such as tutorials, writings, screen casts and other pertinent content that is to be seen as a supplement to the education of an architect.
It is still very much a work in progress but over the course of the semester the work will be sure to grow and it will give the public a glimpse into the world of Pratt Institute Undergraduate Architecture.
form-ula will be teaming up w/ le cabinet noir + Louis Vuitton on a set of limited edition travel trunks later next year. The project looks at the relationship between cutting edge manufacturing techniques and the tradition of hand craft, all the while revealing a new canon of luxury for the brand.
Until then you have to do w/ this teaser video (located below) for the new book Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion and Architecture by Valerie Viscardi (Editor), Jill Gasparina (Contributor), Glenn O’Brien (Contributor), Taro Igarashi (Contributor) read more

We are extremely excited at core.form-ula to introduce our next featured form-ula.collection article written by Joseph Clarke. We invited Joseph to write an article on Philip Beesley and allow for everyone to get closer look at the work that is mystifying and new. Joseph is an incredible thinker and designer who writes with sophisticated motions that help to convey content that is at the forefront. We choose Joseph to write this article because of his ability to circumnavigate the work of Beesley and the underlying nature of its history. Joseph’s approach to the article is as unique and interconnected as Beesley’s work. enjoy>>Polemics of a cybernetic future
