Ilan Dei Studio At “Let’s Talk About Food” Evening Salon We had some really great speakers last night that were all obsessed with one idea… bringing truly fresh and sustainable foods into our hands (and bellies!). Being a new resident of Los Angeles, it was wonderful to learn of the ways that people are pushing to make a more healthy future, and all in strikingly creative ways. By popular demand, I will end this blog entry by providing some website links for our speakers. But, for those of you that couldn’t make it to the evening salon, I will give a little extra information about each person out of my own excitement for their projects. I’d like to also give a special thanks to the moderator, Michael Pinto from Project Food LA, for bringing all of the ideas of the panel together for successful discussion on great food.

Min/Day Architecture's Rapid Custom Fabricated Interiors | The Architects' Take Tuesday, July 28, 2009 | Rebecca Firestone | Interviews A few weeks back, I was standing in line at the opening party for Metropolitan Home’s Modern by Design showcase at Baker Street, wondering what the latest from San Francisco’s top interior design luminaries would be. This project, a high-profile rehab of a 7,700 SF home, involved invitations to 14 design studios and giving them the freedom to create the interiors as they pleased – on their own dime. Imagine my surprise at the top to discover Min/Day Architecture’s playful and colorful three-room “Jack and Jill” attic suite with handily elegant Murphy bed tucked away behind a custom-perforated sliding panel, a jewel-like green-tiled bathroom, and an adjoining room featuring large pink dots, with a modular table that looked like something Andy Goldsworthy might do if he ever tried working with stacked birch plywood as a fabrication medium. Stones table I was so curious I went and asked them. “The Murphy bed came first,” began EB.
Proxy, Architectural Design and Software Development ArchiKluge ArchiKluge is the first of a series of small experiments written in Java which explore ‘artificial creativity’, automatic design and generative approaches in architecture. ArchiKluge is a simple Genetic Algorithm that evolves architectural diagrams. It explores the qualities of design made by machines, devoid of any intention, assumptions or prejudices, and which often display a very peculiar form of mindlessly but relentlessly pounding against obstacles and problems until overcoming them, a manner of acting nature and machines commonly exhibit. A Genetic Algorithm is a program that evolves populations of solutions to certain constrains, quite the same way evolutionary processes do in nature. Each population starts with a number of randomly generated individuals, which reproduce or not according to their performance against a ‘fitness function’. ArchiKluge’s Genetic Algorithm: ArchiKluge implements a Steady State Genetic Algorithm with Tournament selection. pablo miranda carranza
Min|Day Architecture: Interview with Jeffrey Day | The Architects' Take Monday, June 13, 2011 | Rebecca Firestone | Interviews “Art has conventionally been distinguished from architecture based on utility – architecture must do something, while art is free from functional requirements. However, art can lead us to approach architecture as something more than just rote problem-solving. Injecting an element of “uselessness” into a building allows the artistic elements to form an intellectual background against which the building’s functional aspects can be fulfilled in innovative ways. Ironically, contemporary artists are much more engaged with the actual world through activist agendas that directly address social and environmental problems. Jeffrey L. Way back in the mists of time (2009) when we started this blog, our very first article was about Min|Day Architecture. They’re an unusual firm in several respects. Jeffrey Day spoke with us by telephone. What was your family background? I’m from New England, born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Yes, I read Edward T.

THERMOBIMETAL RESEARCH Experimental Wood Structures at ETH Lately, a variety of experimental wooden pavilions have been erected at the ETH Hönggerberg campus, Zurich. A pavilion made from bent plywood, designed and built by students of the AA Emtech, with support form the Structural Design chair. Two pavillons built as reciprocal frame structures, as part of a research project at the chair of Architecture and Technology. Jaú, designed and built by students from the studio Tom Emerson. Watch the time-lapse here. The Sequential Structure 2, Build by students of the chair of Architecture and Digital Fabrication, in cooperation with the BLOCK Research Group. Parametric Wood
