Research and experimentation on computation-enabled integration of the heterogenous information and processes taking part in the design of physical objects (such as functional parameters, material properties, organizational principles, manufacturing processes, representation issues etc.), in order to develop intuitive design environments and explore different design possibilities and prospects in spatial organization.Being manifested as computer programs, these prototypes are ephemeral, “volatile”, in contrast to the concrete structures and material organizations they refer to.
9 h (nainawasu) is a new capsule hotel that offers luxury in a minimum living space. Designed by fumie shibata of design studio s, with her team, she defined the elements necessary for a ‘minimal transit space’ in big cities in japan.
“It’s a beautifully designed space with luxurious touches including computerized environment control and high quality bedding. Certainly something to be experienced when visiting Japan.”
Officiella hemsidan. Hade varit intressant att se lite mer, även exteriören.
Pike Loop, robot - arkitekturens senaste verktyg
Jag kopierar rakt av vad T&T skriver.
Tomorrow starts the construction of the architectural installion “Pike Loop” at the Storefront of Art and Architecture (New York), together with the opening of the exhibition of the work of Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler on Architecture and Digital Fabrication. Gramazio & Kohler shipped R-O-B, their Mobile Fabrication Unit robot, to New York to build Pike Loop, a 22m long structure built from bricks.
I would really like to see these kind of fabrication techniques to be used more often, they definitely offer new possibilities to architecture and design.
Hydroelectric Power Station / monovolume
ArchDaily med senaste byggnaderna värda att titta på. Här monovolume architecture + design som ritat ett stört kraftverk i Österrike.
when was the last time you got punched by design? we are inundated by images everyday which wear us down with their hopeless nostalgia repackaged as new. weary of quirk and whimsy but still in need of a laugh and a stiff drink, we need to confront that which claims to be contemporary in an attempt to define the present. there are no more kings. we are looking to get knocked in the teeth a bit by the unexpected, the beautiful, and the present.
Mycket fint här.
A modular light system that responds to touch: through the electromagnetic fields of the human body. The hexagonal units can be assembled in any shape and modulated to compose multiple lighting situations. Light Brix is architecture composed by light.

“In Progress” av AMID (Cero9) Cristina Díaz Moreno + Efrén García Grinda för Diagonal 80 SL
Arkitektur: Paviljonger
Först ut är Londons prestigefulla skola, The Architectural Association School, eller AA som den ofta förkortas. En träskapelse i “datorform”. Konceptet är från 3:e-års studenten Danecia Sibingo. Materia.nl har mer info och bilder.
Sedan har vi Maximilian´s Schell skapat av Ball Nogues Studio i Los Angeles. Mer info + bilder. En fjäderlätt struktur som kastar snygga skuggor.
Tack till Karin för tipsen!
Beyond Architecture: Imaginative Buildings and Fictional Cities
Beyond Architecture is the first publication of its kind to document the creative exploration of architecture and urban propositions in the contemporary arts. Presenting experimental projects from an array of creative contexts, the book features a multitude of groundbreaking approaches. It demonstrates how not only architects and designers but also artists are taking architecture as a starting point for experimentation. The projects collected in this book range from performance, installation art and crafted sculptures to architectural models, alternative ideas for living spaces and furniture, as well as illustration, painting, collage and photography. Through stunning photographs and complementary texts, these visionary concepts reveal the hidden creative potential for architecture and urban environments in inventive ways.
The interplay between architecture and visual culture will certainly pave the future aesthetic and shape the development of architectural practices and urban landscapes in the decades to come. Beyond Architecture is not only an essentialand inspiring reference for architects, but for anyone interested in visual culture.
