energy consumption and generation impacts people in a variety of climates within a five-star rated green building like the Science and Engineering Centre SEC where the Cube is located ECOS incorporates live weather data into an interactive illustration and places a fictional green building into different climates allowing users to play with the parameters of the buildings and observe the results and the possible impacts on people ECOS promotes behavioural change by demonstrating the factors that influence sustainable energy consumption and generation Project team Prof Jeff Jones

Resolume is created by Edwin de Koning amp Bart van der Ploeg together with Tim Walther Daniel Berio Joris de Jong Menno Vink and a few specialized freelancers Resolume was born because we wanted to VJ But we wanted to do it better Back in 1998 VJ-ing was done with VHS tapes and an mx50 video mixer so it was hard to quickly improvise video to music because tempo could not be adjusted or even reversed Effects were limited to what the mx50 had to offer We thought software would allow us to improvise more and be a better VJ We could not find any VJ software that did what we wanted back in 1998 so we started programming our own We quickly realized our software was much better than our VJ-ing so we work on Resolume full-time since 2002 Edwin de Koning and Bart van der Ploeg

externalisations in design thinking has concentrated on the role of sketching 14 Sch ouml n 15 has shown that for many architects sketching is an essential part of creative design and creation is driven by making and perceiving sketches Sch ouml n characterises design as an interactive conversation between mind and sketch Designers directly appreciate different types of information in their own sketches 16 alternating between seeing that and seeing as 17 Ambiguity in sketches facilitates reinterpretation triggered by dissatisfaction with the current design 18 For designers who make active use of sources of inspiration in designing they play a similar role to designers own sketches Claudia Eckerta Martin Stacey p 526 2000 Design Studies 14 Purcell A T and Gero J S Drawings and

in the second half of the 20th century In fact the key hypothesis of our Radical Pedagogy 1 research project is that these experiments can be understood as radical architectural practices in their own right Radical in the literal meaning from the Latin radice as something belonging or relating to the root to its foundations Radical pedagogies shake foundations disturbing assumptions rather than reinforcing and disseminating them This challenge to normative thinking was a major force in the postwar field of architecture and has surprisingly been neglected in recent years Architectural pedagogy has become stale Schools spin old wheels as if something is happening but so little is going on Students wait for a sense of activist engagement with a rapidly evolving world but graduate before it happens The fact that they wait for instruction is already the problem Teachers likewise worry too much about their place in the institutional hierarchies Curricular structures have hardly changed in recent decades despite the major transformations that have taken place with the growth of globalisation new technologies and information culture As schools appear to increasingly favour professionalisation they seem to drown in self-imposed bureaucratic oversight suffocating any possibility for the emergence of experimental practices and failures There are a few attempts to wake things up here and there but it s all so timid in the end There is no real innovation In response to the timidity of schools today the Radical Pedagogy project returns to the educational experiments of the 1960s and 70s to remind us what can happen when pedagogy takes on risks It s a provocation and a call to arms Beatriz Colomina with Esther Choi Ignacio Gonzalez Galan and Anna-Maria Meister 28 September 2012 The Architectural Review 1 Radical Pedagogy is an ongoing multi-year collaborative research project by a team of PhD candidates in the School of Architecture at Princeton University led by Beatriz Colomina and involving seminars interviews and guest lectures by protagonists and scholars The project explores a remarkable set of pedagogical experiments of the 1960s and 70s that revolutionised thinking in the discipline Each student is working on one of these experiments and collectively mapping the interconnections and effects of these experiments towards a major publication

bamboo National Trust UK http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3228 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 09:22:37 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3227 We have long been familiar with the power of the Chinese to balance colours but we were not so well acquainted with their power of treating purely ornamental or conventional forms and in the chapter in the Grammar of Ornament on Chinese Ornament I was led from my then knowledge to express the opinion that the Chinese had not the power of dealing with conventional ornamental form but it now appears that there has been a period in which a School of Art existed in China of a very important kind We are led to think that this art must in some way have had a foreign origin it so nearly resembles in all its principles the art of the Mohammedan races that we may presume it was derived from them It would be no difficult task to take a work of ornament of this class and by simply varying the colouring and correcting the drawing convert it into an Indian or Persian composition There is of course in all these works something essentially Chinese in the mode of rendering the idea but the original idea is evidently Mohammedan The Moors of the present day decorate their pottery under the same instinct and follow the same laws as the Chinese obeyed in their beautiful enamelled vases The Moorish artist takes a rudely-fashioned pot or other object and by a marvellous instinct divides the surface of the object by spots of colour into triangles of proportionate area according to the form and size of the object these triangles are then crossed by others

that allows people to see how the city was before the earthquakes and building demolitions Using an Android mobile phone people can walk around the city and see life-sized virtual models of what the buildings looked like on site before they were demolished and see pictures and written information Hundreds of 3D models of key city buildings have been made available from architect Jason Mill of ZNO while the Christchurch City Council and Historic Places Trust have provided photographs and building histories CityViewAR is based on the HIT Lab NZ Android AR platform which uses the GPS and compass sensors of mobile phones to enable virtual information to be overlaid on live video of the real world Android AR makes it easy for Android developers to build their own outdoor AR applications The software was previously used for showing individual buildings but this is the first time that it has been used to show dozens of buildings at once and the first time in world that mobile phone AR has been used for earthquake reconstruction HIT Lab NZ 2011 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3223 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 19:30:08 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3222 Historically female anatomy has been represented in medical illustrations predominantly as a variation of the male form in terms of reproductive organs and surface anatomy There are a multitude of societal cultural and religious reasons that have established this ideal in addition to the fine line between female anatomy and eroticism This show will compel viewers to question the objectivity surrounding female anatomyo and define-or
