It’s always surprising when you see something you have designed springing up.
A weird and exciting feeling viewing how things slowly move from a virtual model towards the world of reality…

How are new design tools and software changing design of clothes and fashion accessories?
As we are always interested in exploring the boundaries of architecture and 3D design, we have found that some fashion designers may use the same softwares that we use in HDA.

Recently we have been often asked “What is Parametric Design and Architecture?”
Even if we are daily working with this notions, the answer is not so easy.
We’ll now start thinking about how we designers and architecture could give a comprehensive defintion of such concepts.
Comme nous avions déjà annoncé en Mai, et comme il est annoncé sur le site de Rhinoceros, HDA démarre une nouvelle activité en collaboration avec Rhinoforyou, et organise des formations Grasshopper intégrant un Atelier pratique d’Architecture Parametrique.
Un de ces cours de formation est prévu à Paris du 20 au 22 septembre. Nous souhaitons proposer les 3 formules suivantes en fonction des besoins des stagiaires:
- 3 jours ( Initiation+Atelier ) : du lundi 20 septembre au mercredi 22 septembre
- 2 jours ( Initiation ) : lundi 20 et mardi 21 septembre
- 1 jour ( Atelier ) : mercredi 22 septembre

Situated at the foot of the entrance to Trinity Bellwoods Park, a fluorescent dome serves as a beacon and threshold between Park and City. It is universal in form and origin. Utilizing fluorescent tubes and Tesla Coils, its modes of construction and illumination pay tribute to the ambitions of Buckminster Fuller and Nikola Tesla: To provide universally accessible models of architecture and energy distribution.

As we have often highlighted on this blog, flickr is one of the most important social networking tools for our office, as it allows us to keep in contact with many people and to share our work. One of the most successful operations we have carried out on flickr is the Passerella 2006 Flickr Group where we collect photos of our footbridge in Turin taken by people.
With this post we would like to share a small selection of pictures coming from our Flickr network. This is a good example of how networking is about learning and discovering things, rather than just advertising your own work.
We have already talked about Mårten Nettelbladt as a very interesting researcher on topics of complex geometries, and specifically the topic of developable surfaces.
His website, “Omkrets arkitektur”, and his blog The Geometry of Bending should be a reference for all those who are interested in the developability of surfaces, and in general for those who are trying to create and construct complex forms.

Comme nous avions dejà annoncé sur Twitter, nous organisons en collaboration avec Rhinoforyou une formation Grasshopper à Paris incluant un Atelier d’Architecture Paramétrique. Le stage est prévu pour le 28,29 et 30 juin prochains.
Les 2 premières journées sont consacrées aux « fondamentaux » de Grasshopper avec en préambule une introduction au design et à l’architecture paramétrique et leurs impacts dans la conception, la création et la construction. La troisième journée sous forme d’atelier est dédiée à l’étude de cas concrets proposés par les stagiaires, qui, quelques jours avant la formation, pourront envoyer leurs projets par mail à info@rhinoforyou.com.
