Media designer Jiyeon Song created this ‘One Day Poem Pavilion’. There exists a complex array of perforations that allows light to pass through the pavilion’s surface that results in shifting patterns, and transforms into a legible text of a poem. During the day, the light passes through the perforations on the surface and projects a poem on to the ground. The poem consists of 5 lines with each line visible for about an hour that can be seen between 8 AM and 4 PM.

C’est l’art de faire de faire des images par le calcul.

On peut le comprendre dans un sens très strict, comme le font les algoristes, en exigeant qu’il n’y ait rien d’autre que le calcul, ou tolérer que le calcul brut soit suivi de retouches diverses dans des logiciels graphiques, voire intégré à des photo-montages. Il est évident qu’aucune école artistique ne peut conserver bien longtemps de frontière bien rigoureuse et qu’il y aura toujours quelqu’un pour mélanger les genres.

un post rapide pour montrer les références de cette semaine de l’ agence:

Eladio Dieste , 10 décembre 1917, 29 juillet 2000) est un ingénieur et architecte uruguayen.
c’est celui qui a su, apres Gaudi, utiliser l’arc caténaire et les voûtes gaussienne, pour construire de coques minces pour toitures, en simple épaisseur de la brique, et qui tire sa rigidité et sa résistance à partir d’une double courbure qui résiste au flambement.

Complexitys blog was conceived amid much brainstorming and deliberation, and with much enthusiasm, but with little idea of exactly which direction it would proceed in. Little more than two months after its birth and we’ve been surprised and encouraged to see the first important result of our devotion to, and investment in, an open online communication of architecture.
As Domenico Di Siena from Ecosistema Urbano Office explained in our “web for architects” training in Paris, “an architecture office’s blog is not a portfolio or a place to talk about themselves, but rather an incredibly powerful tool to create a community around the office’s activities and interests”.
Two months into the project and several blogs worldwide have begun talking about complexitys, so these words are now becoming reality.

We are happy to post our first entry of our new DOWNLOADS category.
Like a small but growing number of other architecture offices (such as Ecosistema Urbano and Arquitextonica), we believe that sharing content can be useful, productive and not anti-economic.
In other words, we believe in an Open Culture.

That’s why on this post we want to share with you in a free download format, a rhinoscript code (see video above) that we developed for a skylight design in China, which can help with understanding the concept of double and single curvature geometry.
If you are new to rhinoscript, it may help you to have a look at THEVERYMANY, where you will get a better idea of what can be achieved within this format.
