Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

The pineal gland (also called epiphysis or the "third eye") is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. It produces melatonin, a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns and photoperiodic (seasonal) functions... It is shaped like a tiny pine cone (hence its name), and is located near to the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two rounded thalamic bodies join

W. Herbert Dunton American 1878 - 1936
Illustration—Scene of Cowboy Life (Rodeo), 1914
Oil on canvas
“Buck” Dunton’s oil sketch demonstrates his ability to capture an impression of bucking horses. The loose application of paint and the careful modulation of tones focus attention on the skilled rider. The raised hand serves to preserve his balance as the newly-saddled horse tries in vain to throw the cowboy. Dunton painted monochromatic scenes that were easily reproduced as halftone images in cheap pulp magazines early in the twentieth century. His popularity as an illustrator of horse imagery coincided with the height of the cowboy as a folk hero in popular magazines and dime novels. …… JT ,/b>

This Boss CE-2 Chorus clone really turned out great. I did one of these some time back using the Madbean Pork Barrel board and an MN3007 bucket brigade chip. Great sound. The last great Boss Chorus circuit, IMO.
Sometimes when I was banging away with a humbucker-equipped guitar I'd hear a little distortion, though. So I started thinking about building one of these with a 3PRR board for 12 volt operation.
I decided to do it up right. Nice powder-coated steel enclosure. I got a Fulltone 3PDT switch. Vintage Dakaware knobs. The whole enchilada. Expensive pedal to build, really. Those enclosures are $30. I think the switch was like $16. The bucket brigade and clock chip pair was something like $20.
Turns out that extra voltage is exactly what the circuit needed, though. It's extremely well-behaved now. On paper it seemed like the additional headroom wasn't going to be all that big a deal, but it was enough to make it a much nicer pedal.
By the way, you can see how I always set it. Slowest speed and deepest modulation. I was telling someone I know that I always feel like just leaving it running at this setting because there's almost nothing I play that doesn't sound good to me like this. He's all, "Yeah, it works for Robin Trower!" Which actually kind of is what Trower does with his Univibe.
That two-tone blue is a cool color, incidentally. It looks like a normal blue in the oven up until the last few minutes and then the upper layer of dark blue begins to contract and expose the layer of light blue below it. The first time I saw it happening I thought I'd screwed up somehow. I'm like, "What's going on!?!?" Chill, bro...that's how it do. Heh...
Corners of Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey, Nolita
The Puck Building, originally the home of Puck magazine, is one of the great surviving buildings from New York's old publishing and printing district.
The red-brick round-arched structure occupies the entire block bounded by East Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey Streets, and has been one of the most prominent architectural presences in the area since its construction one hundred years ago. The building is further distinguished by the large statue of Puck at the building's East Houston and Mulberry Street corner; this is among the city 's most conspicuous pieces of architectural sculpture.
Puck was, from its founding in 1876 until its demise in 1918, the city's and one of the country's best-known humor magazines. Published in both English and German-language editions , Puck satirized most of the public events of the day. The magazine featured color lithographic cartoons produced by the J. Ottman Lithographic Company, largest in the country, which shared the Puck Bllilding space.
The current building is the result of three stages of construction, all supervised by architect Albert Wagner; the building and its additions read as a single unified composit ion. The style is an adaptation of the Romanesque
Revival, which had reached great popularity in the 1880s through the works of H. H. Richardson. Wagner's Romanesque, however, was not Richardsonian. A German-born architect, Wagner had worked in New York for Prague-trained Leopold Eidlitz, and his version of the Romanesque appears to reflect the round-arched Gernan "Rundbogenstil" that Eidlitz had brought to New York several decades earlier.
The Puck Building remains one of the most striking 19th-century industrial buildings in lower Manhattan. The comic magazine was founded by Joseph Keppler (1838-1894) and Adolph Schwarzman first appeared in German in 1876. Puck's attitude varied from d humor to merciless satire. Politicallv, in Keppler's time, supported the Democratic Party, but it was never a partisan magazine. It ridiculed poiitical corruption, monopolies, labor unions, suffragism, and all forms of graft, extravagance, and unjustice. It reviewed theater and musical performances. It laughed at fashions and different fads.
In March 1885, with the magazine's circulation and success on the rise, Keppler, Schwarzmann and Ottman purchased property on the southwest corner of East Houston and Mulberry Streets to be the site of a building to house both Puck and the Ottman company. The location was at the fringes of what was then New York's printing district, whose -center was the Astor Library on Lafayette Street (then Lafayette Place). The authors of a Puck supplement issued on the occasion of its tenth anniversary wrote that "Houston street marks the southernmost boundary of a region much affected by large publishing houses."
Publishing houses, periodicals, and printers were located throughout the neighborhood during the 1880s and 1890s, and it was a natural choice for Puck. The original building was erected in 1885-86 to the designs of Albert Wagner, but went through several additions and alterations. In August 1890, spurred by the continuing growth of the magazine, Keppler, Schwarzann, and J. Ottman's heirs bought the adjoining property to the south at 281 Mulberry Street and erected an addition to the Puck Building in 1892-93, again to Albert Wagner's design. The two-year delay was caused by uncertainty in 1890, about the potential route of a proposed new rapid transit line.
Although the Puck Building is too late to be considered part of the Rundbogenstil, it appears to show the influence of Wagner's earlier experience with it. Such a connection would help explain both the references to the style as "Renaissance," and its dissimilarity to the then more popular Richardsonian version of the Romanesque.
The enormous red brick structure has been a commanding presence in the neighborhood since the time of its construction. Its identity was further announced by the statue of Puck at the Houston and Mulberry Street corner of the building, where the two main entrances originally met, one on either street. There is also a smaller statue over the Lafayette Street entrance. The larger '"Puck" on East Houston Street was apparently designed by Henry Baerer, the sculptor of the bust of Beethoven in Central Park. The designer of the smaller "Puck" is not known.
The Puck Building today comprises the original 1885-86 structure and the 1892 addition, less the western portion of each removed in 1898; the Lafayette Street elevation dates from the latter alteration, but duplicates the earlier design. The building occupies an irregular lot bounded by East Houston Street on the north, Mulberry Street on the east, Jersey Street on the south, and Lafayette Street on the west.43 Despite the complexity of its building history, the Puck reads as a single structure retaining the integrity of its original design. The original portion is seven stories high, and the addition nine, but otherwise they are practically identical in design and material.
The building's architectural effects derive from the rhythms set up by arches of varying width, within bays of equal width, and from an adept use of red brick which creates the modulations in the piers, the definition of the arches, and the corbeling of the cornice. Cast-iron window enframements, statuary, and wrought-iron entrance gates, and the cast-iron and glass vault-lighting, provide the necessary contrast in materials.
The original section now comprises four bays on Lafayette Street, three bays on East Houston, and six bays on Mulberry. On Mulberry, the bays are defined by large brick piers that run the full height of the building. Each pier is actually in two sections: a wider pier at the first and second stories, and a narrower pier above. Each pier has a small brownstone base and rests on a five-foot high block of polished gray granite; each is banded in projecting brick. Within each bay at the first and second stories is a double-story brick arch, with projecting brick edges. Ihthin the arch, each bay consists of an upper arched lunette and a lower rectangle, separated by a cast-iron transom. The lunette contains a central double-hung one-over-one window, flanked on either side by a swing window topped by a quarter-arch pane. Beneath the spandrel are three large rectangular windows with transoms above and six-paned basement windows below.
The second and fourth bays south of East Houston Street contain secondary storefront entrances; the door replaces the central rectangular window of each storefront. The first and second stories are set off from those above by a brownstone stringcourse, beneath which is a band of corbeling.
The second section of pier, running from the third story to the seventh story, is narrower than the lower section; each is banded and adorned with an elegant iron ornamental tie-rod end at the fourth story, and a smaller one at the top. At the third and fourth story each bay comprises a pair of two-story arches, each half the width of the arches below. These arches rest on small brick piers with patterned brick "capitals." Within each arch are a pair of four-over-four doublehung windows above the brick spandrel, and a similar pair below the spandrel; each window in the pair is separated from the one next to it by a slender cast-iron pier with neo-Grec detailing. The third and fourth story bay is topped by corbeling and a brownstone sillcourse above.

Pelavin Gallery is proud to announce a solo exhibition of recent work by American artist, Kate Beck. This show will include large scale poured oil paintings and graphite drawings on aluminum panel. This will be Beck’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, and in New York City.
In this new body of work, Beck continues her engagement with repetitive tonal rendering as a means of interaction between light and shadow, human thought and consciousness, and the dynamic architectonics of space. This time she takes the essence of form further by using aluminum substrates, allowing modulating marks of graphite and poured oil to accumulate and shift amidst the confines of the geometric shapes. Tension oscillates between formalistic geometry and existential space; an allusion to thought and consciousness, and the passage of time.

Necessity is the mother of invention - so when our trusty RICOH Caplio R6's strobe was overwhelming at Macro distances we simply taped a bag of SILICA GEL crystals over the flash lens - and it delivered a nice diffuser effect!
This sharp/intense colour Macro shot was taken by an Olympus MJU 810 we were checking over. The vendor complained it was exhibiting an LCD-Screen flicker, which turned out to be caused by the ancient fluorescent tubes in a local Exchange & Mart interfering with the screen back-light's Pulse Mode Modulation to produce a screen flicker! The MJU 810 is just fine, as it was a environmental issue that was causing the visible LCD-Screen Flicker - & since the Vendor doesn't have a clue what's going on it could soon be ours very soon now!

Our first lab run of the solar water pump using a helical impeller (like the ones used on an oil wells) and a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) 3 phase DC motor that is optimized for solar use (shifting the PWM frequency depending on voltage coming from the array…which tends to changes throughout the day). What does this all mean? Well we never hit our target efficiency (92%) or even exceeded the efficiency of traditional water pump (80%), instead we peaked at 53.4%. Dismal results on the first try, but it is the first try. Now its time to fish out the problems…motor, pump, controller, PWM frequency, test rigs and more. Sure wish I had that Finite Element Analysis software right now!

Pelavin Gallery is proud to announce a solo exhibition of recent work by American artist, Kate Beck. This show will include large scale poured oil paintings and graphite drawings on aluminum panel. This will be Beck’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, and in New York City.
In this new body of work, Beck continues her engagement with repetitive tonal rendering as a means of interaction between light and shadow, human thought and consciousness, and the dynamic architectonics of space. This time she takes the essence of form further by using aluminum substrates, allowing modulating marks of graphite and poured oil to accumulate and shift amidst the confines of the geometric shapes. Tension oscillates between formalistic geometry and existential space; an allusion to thought and consciousness, and the passage of time.

Pitch control via red dial or photocel. The photocel has 4 flashing leds mounted around it. Either 2 or 4 can be turned on and their brightness is controlled by the other red dial. This provides a neat semi random pitch modulation kinda effect.

Basically, the Ekdahl Moisturizer is a spring reverb where the springs are exposed so they can be played/hit/fiddled with. As well as being capable of creating sound in itself, you can of course also play sound through the springs like a regular spring reverb - this makes for happy-fun-time finger-modulation of the reverb on whatever audio that's going through it. On top of this there's an analog multimode filter that can be used to attenuate or exaggerate certain frequencies in the sound, this is real handy while playing the springs as you can - for instance - cut all the highs and just make thunderous doomy sounds or do the opposite; cut all the lows and make that ear piercing high frequency special love. Also, it incorporates an LFO that's internally routable to the filter and that also has some external routing-stuff. The Ekdahl Moisturizer has tons of CV / Expression pedal options on the back for even more hillarious moments. The Moisturizer is a mono unit.
The Moisturizer was developed with the help of Jason Willett (Half Japanese, Leperchaun Catering), Martin Schmidt (Matmos, Instant Coffee), Joshua Atkins (Polygons, Major Powers), mom & dad and many more

Title: Concha Renaissance San Juan Resort
Other title: Concha
Creator: Toro, Osvaldo 1914-1995; Ferrer, Miguel, 1915-2004; Salvadori, Mario George, 1907-1997; Marvel & Marchand Architects
Creator role: Architect
Date: 1958 (original) 2008 (renovation)
Current location: San Juan, Puerto Rico
Description of work: Renaissance Hotels tasked architect Jose R. Marchand and interior designer Jorge Rossello with renovating and saving this beachside landmark. "[B]y the mid-1990s the venerable La Concha hotel had been shuttered, abandoned and left to rot...Originally designed by Osvaldo Toro and Miguel Ferrer, with an eccentric but utterly loveable seashell-shaped restaurant by Mario Salvatori [sic], La Concha was a beautifully massed, expertly sited, vividly inventive building perfectly in sync with its time. Closely attuning the hotel to its sun-swept setting, the architects created deep-shading overhangs, open corridors, windows and doors that gave onto lush interior courtyards and provided cross ventilation, and beautifully lacy quiebra-sol (their take on a brise-soleil) for further modulation of the light and heat" (Frank, Michael. "La Concha Revival". Architectural Digest. Aug 2009, p. 103-104. Print).
Description of view: View of a model of the hotel with proposed expansion.

Nolita, Manhattan, New York City, New York
Corners of Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey, Nolita
The Puck Building, originally the home of Puck magazine, is one of the great surviving buildings from New York's old publishing and printing district.
The red-brick round-arched structure occupies the entire block bounded by East Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey Streets, and has been one of the most prominent architectural presences in the area since its construction one hundred years ago. The building is further distinguished by the large statue of Puck at the building's East Houston and Mulberry Street corner; this is among the city 's most conspicuous pieces of architectural sculpture.
Puck was, from its founding in 1876 until its demise in 1918, the city's and one of the country's best-known humor magazines. Published in both English and German-language editions , Puck satirized most of the public events of the day. The magazine featured color lithographic cartoons produced by the J. Ottman Lithographic Company, largest in the country, which shared the Puck Bllilding space.
The current building is the result of three stages of construction, all supervised by architect Albert Wagner; the building and its additions read as a single unified composit ion. The style is an adaptation of the Romanesque
Revival, which had reached great popularity in the 1880s through the works of H. H. Richardson. Wagner's Romanesque, however, was not Richardsonian. A German-born architect, Wagner had worked in New York for Prague-trained Leopold Eidlitz, and his version of the Romanesque appears to reflect the round-arched Gernan "Rundbogenstil" that Eidlitz had brought to New York several decades earlier.
The Puck Building remains one of the most striking 19th-century industrial buildings in lower Manhattan. The comic magazine was founded by Joseph Keppler (1838-1894) and Adolph Schwarzman first appeared in German in 1876. Puck's attitude varied from d humor to merciless satire. Politicallv, in Keppler's time, supported the Democratic Party, but it was never a partisan magazine. It ridiculed poiitical corruption, monopolies, labor unions, suffragism, and all forms of graft, extravagance, and unjustice. It reviewed theater and musical performances. It laughed at fashions and different fads.
In March 1885, with the magazine's circulation and success on the rise, Keppler, Schwarzmann and Ottman purchased property on the southwest corner of East Houston and Mulberry Streets to be the site of a building to house both Puck and the Ottman company. The location was at the fringes of what was then New York's printing district, whose -center was the Astor Library on Lafayette Street (then Lafayette Place). The authors of a Puck supplement issued on the occasion of its tenth anniversary wrote that "Houston street marks the southernmost boundary of a region much affected by large publishing houses."
Publishing houses, periodicals, and printers were located throughout the neighborhood during the 1880s and 1890s, and it was a natural choice for Puck. The original building was erected in 1885-86 to the designs of Albert Wagner, but went through several additions and alterations. In August 1890, spurred by the continuing growth of the magazine, Keppler, Schwarzann, and J. Ottman's heirs bought the adjoining property to the south at 281 Mulberry Street and erected an addition to the Puck Building in 1892-93, again to Albert Wagner's design. The two-year delay was caused by uncertainty in 1890, about the potential route of a proposed new rapid transit line.
Although the Puck Building is too late to be considered part of the Rundbogenstil, it appears to show the influence of Wagner's earlier experience with it. Such a connection would help explain both the references to the style as "Renaissance," and its dissimilarity to the then more popular Richardsonian version of the Romanesque.
The enormous red brick structure has been a commanding presence in the neighborhood since the time of its construction. Its identity was further announced by the statue of Puck at the Houston and Mulberry Street corner of the building, where the two main entrances originally met, one on either street. There is also a smaller statue over the Lafayette Street entrance. The larger '"Puck" on East Houston Street was apparently designed by Henry Baerer, the sculptor of the bust of Beethoven in Central Park. The designer of the smaller "Puck" is not known.
The Puck Building today comprises the original 1885-86 structure and the 1892 addition, less the western portion of each removed in 1898; the Lafayette Street elevation dates from the latter alteration, but duplicates the earlier design. The building occupies an irregular lot bounded by East Houston Street on the north, Mulberry Street on the east, Jersey Street on the south, and Lafayette Street on the west.43 Despite the complexity of its building history, the Puck reads as a single structure retaining the integrity of its original design. The original portion is seven stories high, and the addition nine, but otherwise they are practically identical in design and material.
The building's architectural effects derive from the rhythms set up by arches of varying width, within bays of equal width, and from an adept use of red brick which creates the modulations in the piers, the definition of the arches, and the corbeling of the cornice. Cast-iron window enframements, statuary, and wrought-iron entrance gates, and the cast-iron and glass vault-lighting, provide the necessary contrast in materials.
The original section now comprises four bays on Lafayette Street, three bays on East Houston, and six bays on Mulberry. On Mulberry, the bays are defined by large brick piers that run the full height of the building. Each pier is actually in two sections: a wider pier at the first and second stories, and a narrower pier above. Each pier has a small brownstone base and rests on a five-foot high block of polished gray granite; each is banded in projecting brick. Within each bay at the first and second stories is a double-story brick arch, with projecting brick edges. Ihthin the arch, each bay consists of an upper arched lunette and a lower rectangle, separated by a cast-iron transom. The lunette contains a central double-hung one-over-one window, flanked on either side by a swing window topped by a quarter-arch pane. Beneath the spandrel are three large rectangular windows with transoms above and six-paned basement windows below.
The second and fourth bays south of East Houston Street contain secondary storefront entrances; the door replaces the central rectangular window of each storefront. The first and second stories are set off from those above by a brownstone stringcourse, beneath which is a band of corbeling.
The second section of pier, running from the third story to the seventh story, is narrower than the lower section; each is banded and adorned with an elegant iron ornamental tie-rod end at the fourth story, and a smaller one at the top. At the third and fourth story each bay comprises a pair of two-story arches, each half the width of the arches below. These arches rest on small brick piers with patterned brick "capitals." Within each arch are a pair of four-over-four doublehung windows above the brick spandrel, and a similar pair below the spandrel; each window in the pair is separated from the one next to it by a slender cast-iron pier with neo-Grec detailing. The third and fourth story bay is topped by corbeling and a brownstone sillcourse above.
