i leave you one photo that exemplifies the materialisation of will, belief and proactivity: these architectural students from the University of Oulu (Finland) discovered the amazing possibilities that algorithms have to offer as a designing tool and took action – promoting this seminar at their University and passing their knowledge to their fellow students.
they found something special and believed in it – so they worked to promote and develope it, sharing their visions. congratulations!
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!
this is a video about some of the work of Diller & Scofideo + Renfro, a sort of retrospective and exposition of their ideals.
i personally love their installation with the driller (around minute 10) and it’s evolving effect on the space the walls were dividing.
«aperture is a facade installation with interactive and narrative displaying modes. Consisting of an iris diaphragm matrix, the facade’s surface with its apertures’ variable opening diameters is enriched by a dynamic translucency, that creates new imagery as well as a new channel for communication between inside and outside.»
beautiful, isn’t it?
