The technique of machine learning integrated with manual mapping can be used to speed up the mapping of high-voltage (HV) grids in developing countries. Manual mapping of these grids typically involves laboriously scanning imagery to pinpoint high-voltage towers which is a slow and time intensive process. Development Seed, working for the World Bank Group, came up with a methodology of a two-step system. The first involves using machine learning to flag possible HV towers on satellite image tiles. This process allowed for thousands of tiles to be scanned per hour. The second step involves a team of mappers that is then able to visually locate HV towers to develop a map of HV infrastructure. The project used this method for mapping projects in Pakistan, Nigeria, and Zambia, which lead to increase in the mapping speed by 33-fold compared to manual only mapping.

Alexander Tindale. PhD student Alexander Tindale has used Census data to take a look at how far multiculturalism really goes – that is, how much are ‘typical Australians’ marrying or otherwise living with people from different backgrounds. The analysis shows that ideas of ethnic residential segregation don’t hold true once we look inside households and that we’re quite an eclectic bunch.
Blinkin Lab's 3D visions of deconstruction and re construction formed the key moment of the show, transitioning from the old, organic world view to the new data driven version of reality.

Mapping realizado en espacio filomena y que complementaba la exposición de fotografías realizada ese mismo día. El sólo hecho de existir le da derecho a la obra de estar ahí.

Sophy Wu and a team of researchers made accurate soil measurements using various tools from simple tape measures in the field to more complex ones back at their lab.

Flythrough, for instance, is a model based on the practice’s Telephone House proposal, into which a USB camera has been inserted. The camera moves along a set path through the model to show off the space in the style of an architecture walkthrough video, projecting its findings on a nearby screen. The twist, however, is that the model has been built entirely to facilitate its video – huge chunks of the building that would remain unseen in the video have simply not been built, with upper elements of the structure instead propped up on spindles to reveal the void below. It feels a visually inventive means of critiquing the manner in which architecture is mediated through images, and the display also gains spice from the real-world sustainability debate surrounding Telephone House, which proposes to demolish an existing building in favour of a new build. What within our current practice and discourse is hollow, what meaningful? Flythrough provides an elegant means of accessing these issues.

Supermodels - an exhibition of super architectural models by the Piercy&Co studio - opens 25 November at Regent Quarter, Kings Cross. Piercy&Co will install eight moving and animated models across the eerie setting of an empty central London building site. Supermodels represents the distillation of 20 years of the studio’s design thinking around the importance of the haptic, sensorial and experiential in architecture.
The mechanical automata, projection mapping, sound, light and scent employed by Piercy&Co in Supermodels are not the everyday techniques and products of an architectural project. Rather, they are a creative body of work and an experiment in how far the model can be pushed as a tool for communicating architectural ideas. The models were made over a five year period in Piercy&Co's London studio by the architectural team, between and around projects.
Each super model is based on a building by Piercy&Co - some built, some unbuilt - and abstracted to capture the kernel of the idea behind the building. The ‘coming alive’ of the models through film, sound and movement plays into the mysterious allure of objects with a miniature life of their own - the dolls house, the cuckoo clock, the model railway. The evocation of delight is intentionally egalitarian - an exploration of a mode of architectural communication that is ageless and universal. Supermodels seek to reconnect digital and physical worlds through a childlike sense of wonder and unfiltered joy.
