Suspended luminaire inspired by deep space creatures by Jakob+MacFarlane
Original post seen on Evolo
Dominique Jakob and Brendan MacFarlane have
created a light sculpture composed of blades and LEDs, a luminaire
specially designed for Moaroom, a Paris-based furniture and art gallery.
Since 2004 Moaroom works
with designers and artists from New Zealand and presents a selection
of creations from the world of design and visual arts. Aimed to explore
design beyond the usual scope of trends and patterns, these works are inspired by nature and its needs, and are created in order to respect the environment.
“Both transparent and opaque, this fixture is conceived as a
creature from the depths of the sea newly discovered, both unknown
and unnamed. It belongs to a dark world, where new sounds, new
experiences can be imagined and lived, “say the architects.
The suspended sculpture, composed of thin strips of aluminum and powered
by LEDs, alternates between light and shadow. It is a 160x80x45 cm
snake-shaped light source that flows organically through
space, creating an impression of a moving organism. Hovering above the
visitors to the gallery, this item brings the Studio’s continuous
exploration of patterns and color into the realm of interior design.
Synthetic Grain by PROJECTiONE
original post on designplpaygrounds
Synthetic Grain by PROJECTiONE utilizes computational design and digital fabrication techniques to mimic natural grain patterns and organic forms with synthetic manufactured materials. A grasshopper definition was created that adjusts parallel lines around a set of points or “knots” based on proximity to that point. The result is a three dimensionally curved, contoured surface made of laser cut polystyrene that lock into slots in a plywood backer. The project was developed to be made at various scales by changing material thicknesses and number of custom panels. This would allow for development as a building skin, retail storefront, or simply the backdrop for a bar. The manner in which the strips engage the wood allow for changing perceptions as the user moves past. While of the same language, each part is unique to its specific condition, similar to natural systems.

Bio-Mechanical Pod System Produces Fresh Air
The Active Phytoremediation Wall System is a modular
system of pods, housing hydroponic plants. Its main purpose is to
encourage airflow and contribute to the quality of life through its air
cleaning capacities. The project is a result of a collaborative research
between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
It is a bio-mechanical hybrid system that produces ‘fresh air’ from
within buildings, thereby reducing the energy consumption. Because the
plants’ roots are exposed, instead of being buried in soil, the plants’
air-cleaning capacity increases by 200 to 300 percent. The pods
themselves are made from vacuum-formed plastic, and the form allows the
maximum amount of air to reach the root rhizomes while using the minimum
amount of material. It also creates a beautiful base for the plants.
The wall system can
be installed in large commercial interiors, but works equally well in
small settings—a four-module system in an apartment would have the
impact of 800 to 1200 house plants.
Researchers: Emily Rae Brayton, Ahu Aydogan
Testbed Site: Public Safety Answering Center II, Bronx, N.Y.
Architect: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, New York—Carl Galioto
(technical partner); Gary Haney (design partner); Peter Magill (managing
partner); Rob Rothblatt (senior designer); Joseph Sacco (project
manager); Carl Brown (technical coordinator); Julie Hiromoto (project
team)

Flight Assembled Architecture
original link on designplaygrounds
Gramazio & Kohler and Raffaello D’Andrea have launched a pioneering project around training dynamic and robotic procedures applied to architecture. Belonging to the younger generation of architects exploiting the digital tools in the architectural design and construction, Gramazio & Kohler join the engineer Raffaello D’Andrea, whose work concerns the study of algorithms and development of systems autonomous innovation. Together, they created Flight Assembled Architecture, an architectural research on the potential of a revolutionary assembly tool, revealing joint spatial and material previously unpublished. Flight Assembled Architecture is the first installation built entirely by flying robots. Designed as an architectural structure on the scale of a “vertical village” of 600 meters, Assembled Architecture Flight tests a new paradigm of design and manufacturing, through a physical process of automated dynamic training. This project builds on the simultaneous use of multiple mobile agents. Considered as tools for adaptive production, these flying robots are programmed to interact and to capture, transport and assemble the modules to build architectural structures. They synthesize and the pragmatism of Gramazio & Kohler Architecture and visionary approach to Raffaello D’Andrea in engineering dynamics. The FRAC Centre supports this new project, which will ad up to its collection devoted to experimental architecture. This collaborative project will be exposed in the FRAC Centre in Orléans.
