INABA Jorge Ayala’s Post-Digital Curiosities | arch_oo A degree in landscape urbanism from London’s AA School, a passion for complex origami-like topographies and a graduation in the crisis year of 2008, which held little promise in terms of architectural commissions, – all of this together has triggered Jorge Ayala’s quest for applying architecture technologies to other domains. After having cooperated on Plasma Studio’s 37ha landscape design project in China, the architect has redirected his research towards designing for the human body. Outcomes – or rather vectors of Ayala’s R&D – vary from actual clothing collections to an upcoming cooperation with Rem D Koolhaas, architect-turned-footwear innovator behind United Nude label, to HR Giger-some «post-digital curiosities» that will be exposed this September at the 9th ArchiLab series in FRAC Centre (Regional Contemporary Art Foundation) @ Orléans, France. Leather and fabrics get transformed by moulding, thermoforming and chemical reactions rather than conventional cutting and sewing.
Perkins Eastman | International Planning | Architecture | Planning | Design | Consulting Category: Fabrikator inShare3 Smith|Allen’s 3D-printed forest refuge is inspired by the site’s patterning and historical cycle of deforestation and regeneration. When Brian Allen and Stephanie Smith first visited the sequoia forest in Gualala, California, they saw patterns everywhere. “We were really intrigued by patterning at many scales, from bark on the trees to light through the trees and also, at a micro scale, [the cells of] the sequioas,” said Allen. Echoviren is intimately tied to its site on the grounds of Project 387, the residency in which Smith|Allen participated last fall.
