Archinect | Connecting Architects Since 1997 ArchDaily | Broadcasting Architecture Worldwide El blog de Basurama Des-campado: Un campo que deja de ser campo. Un trozo de campo antes de ser ciudad. Un espacio salvado (o aislado) de la especulación inmobiliaria… y de los huertos urbanos.. y de solar autogestionado.., es decir, de cualquier tipo de uso reglado. El descampao fue el clásico icono del paisajismo y el urbanismo de los últimos noventa. Es el protagonista de uno de los típicos poemas que citan los snobs. Venga, vamos a ponernos nostáligcos. Años más tarde, la burbuja inmobiliaria volvió a construir ciudad nueva a destajo en los dosmiles. Descampaos hay muchos y de todo tipo: Unos tienen muchos años de antigüedad en el barrio y se terminan convirtiendo en parkings. En otros viven lagartijas -y gran fauna variada- y sirven incluso de escenario típico madrileño, para potenciar lo que se llama ahora “Marca Madrid”: También hay en ellos gran variedad de plantas, los descampaos suelen ser muy fértiles: Incluso podemos encontrarnos, si nos fijamos con atención, viviendas abandonadas:
plusMOOD BLDGBLOG Example files edit 29/04/14 - Here is a new collection of more than 80 example files, organized by category: This zip is the most up to date collection of examples at the moment, and collects together a wide variety of definitions made for various workshops and in response to forum questions. Thanks to all workshop attendees and forum members for your valuable input. It is possible I've missed a few useful ones. The examples below are mostly older, but I will leave them here for now until I am certain all the same topics are adequately covered in the 'official' collection above. Showing how the trail component can be used to trace the motion of moving particles The wind component acts on sets of 3 points (typically each the vertices of each face of a triangulated mesh). CurvePull - Pulls particles onto a curve. The Vortex component rotates one particle about an axis defined by 2 points. Align Pulls two line segments towards being parallel.

Curbed National : Interior Design, Decor, and Real Estate Project Kangaroo – Live 3D Physics for Rhino/Grasshopper – update Here are some more videos of early tests of Kangaroo – the live physics engine for design modelling that I have recently started developing – and a bit more about its context and what it could be used for. One of the things it allows is the virtual use of some of the physical form-finding techniques for design that were pioneered by architects/engineers such as Frei Otto and Antoni Gaudí. They made use of a principle discovered by Robert Hooke : When a flexible chain hangs freely its elements are in pure tension, and when this form is flipped vertically it produces a form of pure compression, which is ideal for constructing masonry arches, an idea which can be extended to chain nets and stone vaults : Another area in which physics based form-finding has been important in architecture is in the design of lightweight and tensile structures such as cable-nets and fabric canopies. Kangaroo allows the relaxation of nets of arbitrary topology: I believe that fun need not mean frivolous.
Europaconcorsi Futuristic Buildings In Dubai If you’re like me, you enjoy your regular dose of Sci Fi movies. For me, I watch these movies, in spite of bad acting and cliched storytelling, because it gives me a glimpse of the future that I might not live to see. The Giant Half Pyramids of Blade Runner, the amazing environments of Star Wars, and the sleek buildings of Minority Report, are all places I’ve dreamed of exploring. Good for us, with recent technological and architectural advances, we might actually live to see the future. Just Look at Dubai! And here’s what’s in store for you in the future: 0-14 Tower Aedas Eemar Tower Al Burj Tower Al Sharq Arabian Blade Atrium Towers Azerbaijan Death Star Hotel Burj Al Alam Dancing Towers Dubai Grand Pyramid Dubai Hub One Dubai Opera House Dubai Promenade Dubai Renaissance Dubai Towers Empire Towers ETA Hotel Hydropolis Infinity Tower Lam Tara Nakheel Tower Pal Jebel Ali Pixel Tower Porsche Tower RTA Headquarters Stellar Tower The Apeiron Hotel The Cloud The Lighthouse The Palm Tower The Wave Tower Tiara United Towers
