Robotically-engineered On the Bri(n)ck creates full-scale, habitable space
Students have transformed 4,100 digitally generated and fabricated wooden bricks into two undulating walls that create an engaging hangout space on exhibition in The Pit. Going beyond the model scale and working with the GSD Robotic facilities, students tackled new design challenges presented by construction techniques, material constraints, and structural limitations encountered in a full-scale building. Overall the project hopes to highlight the potential of digital fabrication techniques and the role these have in the education of architects. read more

This should make for one exciting ride! read more

Part Six : 3.16 Billion Cycles
If you are in the NYC area be sure to check out our friend CW Wang’s musings on time at the ITP NYU Spring 2009 Show. May 11th Monday from 5-9p
Time in Six Parts is a series of attempts to unravel and re-present time through alternative perspectives. The hope is to demystify scales of time that are out of our immediate reach and explore new approaches to marking time. You can find some info on the project here. http://cwwang.com/time
