Driftwood Pavillion | AA School Unit 2

the Architectural Association Summer Pavilion, designed by students from Unit 2, which opened today in London’s Bedford Square.Based on a concept by 3rd year student Danecia Sibingo, the pavilion is the fourth in the annual AA Summer Pavilion series.

Now in its fourth year of building pavilions, Intermediate Unit 2 pavilion projects are led by tutors Charles Walker and Martin Self with technical advice from ARUP, this year led by Ching Luan Lau, Senior Engineer. The unit challenges students to create architectural space through the construction of a sustainable timber pavilion and is also sponsored by HOK architects who pride themselves on their global reach and ability to respond to the most demanding of design challenges. Driftwood is on show in Bedford Square until 25 July 2009.

ÖRÜNTÜLER, GEOMETRİLER VE TASARIM




ÖRÜNTÜLER, GEOMETRİLER VE TASARIM

Tarih:13 Kasım 2009 Cuma, 14:00-17:00

Yer:YEM, Fulya

Konuşmacılar:

Onur Yüce Gün - Tasa.RAM

Zafer Sağdıç - Matematik ve Tasarım İlişkisi

Salih Küçüktuna - Sayısal Estetik

Karmaşık olaylar, olgular ya da nesnelerin diziliminin ardında çözümlenebilecek ve yeniden kurgulanabilecek kurallar ya da kavranabilir düzenler yatar. Bu kurallar ve düzen genellikle bir şablon kadar katı ve belirgin olmasa da bir ‘dikiş patronu’ gibi ana prensipleri ortaya çıkaracak nitelikte, ilişkisel ve matematikseldir. Bu anlamda örüntüler, doğadaki oluşum prensiplerinden kentlerdeki dizilimlerin ardındaki düzenlere uzanan örneklemleriyle mimarlık alanını neredeyse varoluşundan beri ilgilendirmekte. Bilgisayar destekli tasarım ve üretim teknolojileriyle sayısallaştırılabilen veriler, veriler arası ilişkiler, düzenler ve kurallar tasarımda “örüntü” ve “geometri” kavramlarının yeniden sorgulanmasını tetiklemekte ve yeni açılımlar sağlamaktadır. 2009-10 güz yarıyılı YTÜ Mimari Tasarıma Giriş Stüdyoları Program Akışı içinde yer alacak bu söyleşi ile bu yeni açılımlar sorgulanacaktır.

SATOPTICON (2005) at Istanbul Museum of Modern Art Video Program

Nowadays, a Video exhibition called ''When Angels Fall'' in Istanbul Museum of Modern Art. A remarkable video by Jaroslaw Kozakiewicz includes an architectural point of view. Unit-E was there and took some notes from the exhibition for you. Some details as below,

11 September 2009 - 10 January 2010

Curator: Paolo Colombo

The title of this program comes from the short film by Roman Polanski When Angels Fall (1959)

SATOPTICON

Satopticon is the project of a circumterrestrial-orbit prison of the future; it was presented for the first time at the Panopticon. The Architecture and Theatre of the Prison exhibition at the Zachęta National Gallery in Warsaw.

‘In the second half of the 21st century, a huge leap was made in genetics, nanotechnology and robotics. It finally became possible to fulfil man’s dream of returning to paradise. Poverty was eliminated, all known diseases cured, people were physically rejuvenated, and robotic technology made them virtually immortal. But there still existed the problem of the neo-Luddites and other apostates refusing to adapt to living in the new earthly paradise. To address the problem in a humanitarian way, the Satopticon was designed – a global prison to be located on Earth’s orbit. In its form, the prison alluded to the first human colony that had been supposed to be set up in space. The project, known as the Stanford Torus, dated back to the 1970s. The Satopticon’s construction was a reference to the structure of the carbon nanopipe, a material that, thanks to its immense resistance to ripping and unusual electric properties, had revolutionised 21st-century electronic and become a symbol of the new era. The closed pipe forms a torus, and its surface is covered by hexagonal structures in which the cells have been located. The construction, which resembles a net, is also an intelligent robot controlling the facility’s operation – reducing or increasing the number of cells and the length of the torus itself, depending on the needs. This means that the operation of the facility – Earth’s artificial satellite – does not require the physical presence of human personnel. Functions such as inmate supervision, database operation, medical care, supplies, visits, waste utilisation, and technical upkeep are coordinated from Earth. Each cell has been equipped with two windows, one letting in sunlight, the other offering a view of the distant Earth. Each inmate is able to view the blue planet for several hours a day. The view of Earth and the lack of gravity would aid the inmates’ moral renewal. Technology kept developing, and the changes brought about by that development were occurring ever more rapidly. Machines more intelligent and efficient than people had been built, and they relieved humans at their tasks in all areas of life, until they gained full control of their conscience. Robots took control of the natural world, including the replication and evolution processes across the planet. Eventually, the last reactionaries were adapted to the new living conditions in the earthly paradise. Universal order prevailed. There was no need for building the prison anymore.’
