i found Michael Hansmeyer’s work around 7 months ago, while searching for information about Algorithmic Architecture and learning how algoithms can work as a design tool. worth to pay it a visit!
the new exhibition from James Turrell just opened in Wolfsburg (Germany), with what’s said to be “the worldwide largest museum installation he has made to date“: a sublime space of changing light, where our perception of it’s dimensions fade with the soft colours – a space for the meditative contemplation of pure, essential beauty.
after you get in, you never want to leave it… ever again!
it’s amazing how fast and how far technology is evolving… to the point that we can overcome reality with the feeling that the virtual is more realistic than the real – and that it, somehow, “feels” better.
in the the TED talk below, you can see how “The curious case of Benjamin Button” was created and how the team adventured into the dark and developed new technologies that made the impossible happen.
hope you enjoy it!
“Architects all over the world are fascinated by algorithmic architecture which uses computer scripting to generate design solutions. Scripts are made out of series of written commands which can be programmed to solve complex geometric problems. Scripts can also be used to generate new, unexpected outcomes as they have the ability to evaluate, process and build on the given commands. In architecture scripting can be used in a variety of ways for different purposes ranging from automation of simple tasks to the management of entire design processes.”
it will be a great opportunity for students (specially european students) to discover what’s being done in the frontline of architectural experimentation and inspire and challenge themselves into new ways to think and do architecture.
go for it!
