Emergent Density Final Review

Final review of the Emergent Density module. Friday 20th of July 2007:
The last weeks of work culminated in the final review. The board of critics included Oliver Bertram, head of the company Different Futures and Assistant at Greg Lynns studio of the Angewandte and Rainer Zettl, Assistant at W.D. Prix studio and main coordinator of Urban Strategies. The allover quality of the body of work was appreciated by the board, and some good advises were given about possible further proceedings with the learnt design strategies. It was interesting to see that despite the general design strategy the final results formed a variety of possible solutions. Some projects approched the problem by creating an allover connected architectural entity. Other approaches included the dissolving of mass in fibrous entities, and the creation of cellular aggregations.

Miha Volgemut, 3D Print1

Here you can see some images of Miha´s Model,
also fresh out of the printer and dedusted. You can compare it to the project here.

Something important for those who have to pic up their model at the 3D Fabrication Lab of the Angewandte. You should get a Spray can of clear acrylic paint and cover your models with a coat of paint. This increases the stability of the model. You will have to be careful with this models anyways, but it helps.

"Spiral Reality" (2)

The parts with transition. Like paravane but the thing continue in wholeness.
From inside to outside to the other dynamic in terms of changes but in the same time could be able to read as history and the ability to have description in the whole system.
The vertical rise and horizontal movement. From one to the other parts connections and same points..

Regarding to concept and its elements

Basic issues & instruments:
•Dynamism
•Harmony-Topographic wholeness
•Differency but relationship / more than communicaiton !
•Spiral Shape: it looks the same if you observe the movement but always different in fact.

You see the spiral movement you think you are in the same spiral movement-yes it is- but not in the same spiral ( the same point of the spiral) the movement is the same but the material is not and also behavioral changes form the reality..

The points are unique and that are not developing in linear way but spiral and more connected to each other .

Yesterday ( history) today and tomorrow are connected but always different means in different point in the spiral reality but they are communicating to each other instead of creating the reality again, connecting this to the existing one and creating together the “future one “…

This saves energy!

Things could seem as “same” but this is actually “similarity” and you see the differency if you focus on. Differency not so much visible to express themselves so much but a little bit in order to describe and put them in the correct order .That is the point .

If you make some of them much more visible than the others then the balance will change ..!

MIhaUrban body II

MihaUrban body

I am now researching urban conditions in the model of dimensions 700 x 450m. It is revealing itself as an urban body... a house and a city at one time. The communication corridors are organic - continuous, that means there's no distinction between street, hallway, stairs, elevator, subway... they are all interiorised and intertwined with each other, there are electric cars and transportation. The anatomy of the object is similar to the living body anatomy with veins, organs and functions. So this urban body is a building block, neighborhood and a city center at one time. Beside highly internal connectivity it is also connected to outside world with subway and car traffic under the ground. Quality of living and working in such a "city" is just a state of evolutionary adaptation of humans to environmental conditions. Our environment is rapidly changing, the direct sun is more and more harmful and the daylight is disturbing factor in the digital environment, also outside air is polluted, especially on the streets with traffic smog and noise. And for experiencing the outside qualities there is still a lot of outside space in the holes of the body, from small ones to large public squares, which are a matter of choice and not the necessity.
I am also wandering about the consciousness of the body. Consciousness of the city is the place of terrible mistake, where something is going terribly wrong. Consciousness is dynamic, but can we capture it in the moment with identifiable space/object? Maybe just half real and half symbolic - object out of context, ruining the space configuration, disturbing the balance... So, I placed the cultural program in the charismatic corner of the body, where something is not right, mutation of topology is creating new condition, new exit.

P.S. I am trying to make 3d model more precise with some urban and architectural elements, but it's hardly possible with mesh mode. How can I transform mash object into surface?
