Maison Martin Margiela for View on Colour 04/02/1998

(BEGINS)

WHAT IS COLOUR?

An intensity, a temperature, a clash, a harmony.

AND

HOW DO YOU USE IT?

When it asks.

WHAT IS BLACK?

An absence, a presence, a mood, a mantle.

WHAT IS RED?

A blush, a flush, a fever, a command.

WHAT IS SKIN?

A protection.

WHAT IS FABRIC?

A medium.

WHAT IS TEXTURE?

A result of time.

WHAT IS CONSTRUCTION?

A means to an end.

WHAT IS FUNCTION?

A reply to a need.

WHAT IS ART?

A need to reply.

WHAT IS CRAFTMANSHIP?

A fruit of time.

WHAT IS CLOTHING?

The final layer.

WHAT IS FASHION?

A series of propositions.

WHAT IS RECYCLING?

Another chance.

HOW DOES RECYCLING FIT INTO YOUR WORK?

By nature.

HOW DOES A CONCEPT DEVELOP AT MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA?

Time, a question, a reply.

HOW DOES A CONCEPT DEVELOP AT HERMES?

Time, another question, another reply.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DEVELOP? BESIDES CLOTHING?

An understanding.

WHAT WORDS DO YOU LIVE BY?

We.

The NeoCube interaction cool design

ENVISION - Step into the sensory box

Battle of Branchage - Architectural Projection Mapping

AA Visiting School Paris

http://aaschoolparis.tumblr.com/

It's 10-days intensive design workshop

from Monday March 21 to Thursday March 31, 2011.

And quite pricey:

Workshop (£600)         30,000 THB

Air Ticket              60,000 THB

Accommodation 30,000 THB
Living Expense 30,000 THB
4-days Trip to London 30,000 THB

TOTAL 180,000 THB

I'd say around 180,000 THB ++
for 14-days trip (10 days workshop + 4 days in London)
Let me know if you are interested...

It looks quite interesting and should be a really good
opportunity if you get a chance to participate.

Magnus Larsson: Turning dunes into architecture

For an ambitious landscape design project, Magnus Larsson, a student at the Architectural Association in London, has proposed a 6,000km-long wall of artificially solidified sandstone architecture that would span the Sahara Desert, east to west, offering a combination of refugee housing and a "green wall" against the future spread of the desert.

Larsson's project deservedly won first prize last fall at the Holcim Foundation's Awards for Sustainable Construction held in Marrakech, Morocco.
One of the most interesting aspects of the project, I think, is that this solidified dunescape is created through a particularly novel form of "sustainable construction" – that is, through a kind of infection of the earth.
In other words, Larsson has proposed using bacillus pasteurii, a "microorganism, readily available in marshes and wetlands, [that] solidifies loose sand into sandstone," he explains.

The "architectural form" of the resulting solidified sandscape is actually "derived from tafoni," Larsson writes, where tafoni is "a cavernous rock structure that formally ties the project back to notions of aggregation and erosion. On a conceptual scale, the project spans some 6,000km, putting it on a par with Superstudio's famous Continuous Monument – but with an environmental agenda."

Technical Papers Presentation Time

SIGGRAPH Technical Paper Presentation schedule is fixed,

it's as we have in the Google Spreadsheet.

So, feel free to change your chosen courses should you

want to attend the Technical Papers presentations instead.

Look at some researches like this 3D Modeling session
on Saturday 18 at 4:15 - 6:30 pm:
Computer-Generated Residential Building Layouts
A method for automated generation of interior building layouts.
The approach is based on the layout design process developed in architecture.
by researchers from Stanford University

or Reconstructing and Editing Geometry
on Friday 17 at 9:00 - 10:45 am:
Interactive Mesh Connectivity Editing for Pattern Design
An interactive editing framework that provides control over the type,
location, and number of irregular vertices in the input mesh.
by researchers from Arizona and Oregon State University

Computer Animation Festival schedule is also up,
check it out if you are interested.
