Mario Vásconez: Ecuador 84: El terremoto de Manabí: constatación preliminar de errores técnico - constructivas que incrementaron la vulnerabilidad de las edificaciones ante el fenómeno sísmico. El sábado 16 de abril 2016 el Ecuador sufrió el impacto de un sismo de magnitud 7.8 en la escala de Richter que ha tenido devastadoras consecuencias sobre todo en las provincias de la costa: Esmeraldas, Los Ríos, Guayas y sobre todo Manabí.

How Facets are Changing the Face of Architecture. Facets have always been a part of architecture: the pyramids are simply primitive facets, while technically any typical facade, roof or planar surface can be called a facet.
Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes blurred the lines between facade and roof, their facets akin to the sides of a soccer ball in which each plane has identical angles and similar intersections. Their consistent geometry and straightforward kit-of-parts-construction made the Fuller domes quick and easy to assemble. Developments in digital technology have destroyed any remaining regularity from Fuller's designs, and further obliterated the need to distinguish between roof and facade.
There is little need for classic geometry — each piece can be designed and constructed individually, as can all primary, secondary and tertiary structures, and the connections between elements.

This unique cabin nestled in Joshua Tree in California’s Mojave Desert is really something else.
Mirrors were added to the walls and windows to create the illusion that you can see right through the cabin, making it seem half transparent at times.

Rafael Viñoly's Walkie Talkie skyscraper "melts cars" News: Rafael Viñoly's Walkie Talkie skyscraper in London is reflecting a beam of light intense enough to melt cars, according to a series of recent reports.
Update: a CGI artist predicted the effect a year ago - read more in our latest story. Claims surfaced over the weekend that the glare from the curvaceous glass facade of the 37-storey tower - currently under construction at 20 Fenchurch Street - have caused vehicle paintwork to melt and bodywork to distort. Engineer Eddie Cannon, who parked his Vauxhall Vevaro beneath the building, told local newspaper City AM: "The van looks a total mess – every bit of plastic on the left hand side and everything on the dashboard has melted, including a bottle of Lucozade that looks like it has been baked.
" Tiling company director Martin Lindsay suffered a similar fate, claiming that the panels surrounding his Jaguar XJ had been warped. ReBlog.

Real-time interactive spaces: MUSCLE Prototypes This research and prototyping initiative is specifically aimed at developing real-time interactive architecture which allow for multiple usability via adaptation of their spatial constituents. The prototypes (Fig. 01) are visualized as complex adaptive systems, continually engaged in activities of data-exchange and optimal augmentation of their spatial and ambient components in accordance with contextual variations. Tactile variations of static but flexible spatial skins by means of pneumatic compression and the skin’s own material properties are used as the underlying principle for attaining spatial augmentations.
In order for the proposed tactile variations, to attain a meaningful substantiation, materializing an intuitive interactive behaviour towards the occupants of these spatial prototypes becomes quintessential.

Star Place Facade. Glass solar shading for facades - FINS - Levolux. Dynamic in their distinctive architectural aesthetics, Levolux glass fins provide an extremely efficient external solarshading system which offers all the advantages of a conventional brise-soleil in controlling solar heat gain and glare while allowing the occupants of the building a greater view to the outside. A huge level of design flexibility is possible and co-ordination with the building’s external façade may be achieved through the use of glass which can be coloured, silk screened, etched or has other surface finishes or coatings tailored to specific design requirements. Glass fins are ideally suited to the modern low energy building and can be installed in vertical, horizontal or angled situations and may be either fixed or adjustable to allow precise control of the building’s internal environment.
Total Design Freedom The full potential of glass fins may be explored since Levolux offers bespoke systems with total design freedom.

CMA CGM Headquarters by Zaha Hadid photographed by Hufton+Crow. Zaha Hadid's 142-metre tower for French shipping company CMA CGM in Marseille is documented in these new images by London photographers Hufton + Crow (+ slideshow). The 33-storey structure, which was completed in 2011, is currently the tallest building in the city and features a glazed facade with a seam of tinted glass running up through its centre. The darkened glass tapers outwards at the top, creating the illusion of swelling upper storeys although the building actually has a rectilinear body that only curves outwards at its base.
Located within Marseille's 480-hectare Euroméditerranée development zone in the north of the city, the CMA CGM Headquarters functions as the primary offices for the transportation company, bringing together over 2400 employees that had previously been located on seven different sites.
