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.

El edificio de la Municipalidad de Santiago es la sede de la Ilustre Municipalidad de Santiago. Se encuentra en el costado norte de la Plaza de Armas, en la esquina de la calle Monjitas con el paseo 21 de Mayo, a un costado del antiguo Palacio de la Real Audiencia que hoy alberga al Museo Histórico Nacional.
Este solar fue destinado desde la fundación de Santiago a albergar un edificio público, siendo ocupado originalmente por el cabildo de la ciudad y la antigua cárcel colonial. Un primer edificio fue construido entre 1578 y 1647. En 1679 el edificio fue demolido y más tarde, entre 1785 y 1790, fue construido un segundo edificio por el arquitecto italiano Joaquín Toesca, ahora con estilos neoclasicistas.
La fachada tiene una modulación neoclásica, arcos de medio punto, balcón corrido y vanos rectangulares. Antiguamente en el eje del pórtico se elevaba una torre. La transformación posterior le dio un sello neoclásico con elementos de renacimiento italiano, un plomo nuevo marca el acceso como cuerpo central, recorriendo un balcón, conteniendo éste, tres grandes vanos enmarcados en pilastras. La planta se desarrolla en dos niveles, rodeando un hall vidriado, y un subterráneo abovedado, ocupa parte de la planta bajo nivel
Un incendio en 1891 obligó a una reconstrucción realizada por el arquitecto Eugène Joannon. El tercer edificio del solar –que se conserva hasta la actualidad fue inaugurado en 1895 y oficialmente declarado como sede de la administración comunal. En el año 1976 fue declarado Monumento Histórico.

The Santiago Municipality building is the headquarters of the Illustrious Municipality of Santiago. It is located on the north side of the Plaza de Armas, on the corner of Monjitas Street and Paseo 21 de Mayo, next to the old Palace of the Royal Court that today houses the National Historical Museum.
Since the founding of Santiago, this site was intended to house a public building, originally occupied by the city council and the old colonial prison. A first building was built between 1578 and 1647. In 1679 the building was demolished and later, between 1785 and 1790, a second building was built by the Italian architect Joaquín Toesca, now with neoclassicist styles.
The façade has a neoclassical modulation, semicircular arches, a continuous balcony and rectangular openings. Formerly, a tower stood on the axis of the portico. The subsequent transformation gave it a neoclassical seal with Italian Renaissance elements, a new lead marks the access as a central body, running along a balcony, which contains three large openings framed in pilasters. The floor plan is developed on two levels, surrounding a glazed hall, and a vaulted basement, occupying part of the ground floor.
A fire in 1891 forced a reconstruction by the architect Eugène Joannon. The third building on the site – which is preserved to this day – was inaugurated in 1895 and officially declared the headquarters of the communal administration. In 1976 it was declared a Historical Monument.
Golobulus: Your appearance has changed, but it is impossible not to recognize the Time Lord within.
The Doctor and Golobulus approach each other. The Emperor of Cobra-La stretches his snake-body to rise above the Time Lord in an act of intimidation.
Doctor: 'And I see you're looking well Golobby old boy!'
Golobulus: 'You might want to cast aside the pleasantries, Time Lord. You are far from welcome here.'
The Emperor of Cobra La menaces the Doctor.
Doctor: 'Then you may choose to dispense with the psychological tactics, Golobulus. You know that never works on me.'
Golobulus: 'So what brings you to my Valley, Doctor?'
The Doctor looks straight into the grotesque eyes of the Emperor of Cobra La.
Doctor: 'I need your help.'
Golobulus's expression does not change. The Doctor continues.
Doctor: "The Decepticons and Cobra are tampering with time-travel technology. In fact, a Cobra-made Decepticon named Meantime already has time-control capabilities...'
Golobulus interrupts.
Golobulus: 'I am aware, Doctor. I am aware of everything.'
Doctor: 'So you keep insisting. Tell me then, you must be aware of the full scope of damage potential this act could have, not just on the local area, but the entire planet!'
Golobulus considers for a heartbeat.
Golobulus: 'The future is always in motion.'
The Doctor waves off Golobulus' comment, immediately deeming it useless.
Doctor: 'Don't give me that nonsense, Golobulus. You're smarter than that. Just because the future is in motion doesn't mean that a clear trail of events can not lead to a overtly predictable conclusion! One plus one will always equal two. no matter how far after the fact you add the pair together! The repairs to the Time Vortex from the damage caused by The Time Disturbance are too vulnerable. The wounds to the walls of time and space are not yet fully healed. Any time travel or time-tampering of any sort by unskilled hands could lead to the wounds opening again! Only this time, the all time-parallels will converge and implode! The very nature of existence will disappear! There will be nothing but the Void!'
Golobulus closes his eyes.
Golobulus: 'What do you need from me?'
Doctor: 'I need a seismic crystal.'
Golobulus: 'What?'
The Doctor looks over his shoulder to his companions, waving Golobulus quiet. The others did not seem to hear the latter's outburst.
Doctor: 'I need a seismic crystal.'
Golobulus: 'Are you aware of what you're asking, Doctor?'
Doctor: 'I am perfectly aware and believe me, if I had any other choice I would take it. I don't have the luxury of choice. I need a crystal.'
Golobulus: 'For what purpose? seismic crystals are not easy to manipulate. They are even less easy to control.'
Doctor: 'They can be controlled, Golobulus. They can be manipulated and controlled with tremendous accuracy.'
Golobulus: 'Not by human hands.'
Doctor: 'Not by hands at all. They can be controlled with precise harmonic frequency modulation.'
Golobulus: 'That is absurd!'
Doctor: 'It's the truth, Golobulus. I need a seismic crystal and I need it now. You can surrender one to me and play a part in saving every single universe, or you an make a significant and insane contribution to the end of all things. Make your choice.'
Golobulus glares in silence, mistaking the Doctor's pause for the end of his argument. The Doctor's eyes then turn stone cold.
Doctor: 'Either way, I will acquire a seismic crystal. Choose to be an ally, Emperor. Don't make the mistake of becoming my enemy.'

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.

A closeup of the controls- all the original button openings were used for the theremin controls and output jacks (except one, for future use.)
The PAiA Theremax circuit used in this project provides control-voltage outputs for pitch and volume, which allows the instrument to control outboard equipment. This capability is easily exploited to allow the theremin to be used as a very responsive gestural controller. Interfacing with a microcontroller is a snap ;)
The oscillator inductors are exposed for tuning and you can also see the touch strips we added for manually applying 'modulation', along the top edge of the opening. More pics in the set: www.flickr.com/photos/imajilon/sets/72157629518599040/

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.

Considered one of the best aircraft control systems, the Eclipse 7 is loaded with features; 7-channels, 7-model memory, shift changeability so you can use any brand of FM 72MHz receiver, optional 50-channel SPECTRA synthesizer module to select any channel to fly on, and specific programming for helicopters, gliders, and glow, gas or electric fixed wing aircrafts. The Eclipse 7 has the quality, value, and features that you have come to expect from Hitec. For R/C Pilots that demand an extra level of performance and reliability, Hitec has created a “super fast response” PCM technology called “Quick Pulse Code Modulation” in the Eclipse 7. The “Quick” PCM signal has an incredible 0.011 second response rate for the solid control feel you want for your heli or gas powered airplane.

Perhaps linking a hospital car park with medieval chain mail is not such an outlandish idea, especially if it’s a Cambridge University teaching hospital. It certainly didn’t seem so for Allies and Morrison and Devereux Architects, who were commissioned by Addenbrooke’s to design one on for the expanded Rosie Maternity Hospital’s campus. The D&B proposal they came up with is lavished with playfulness and delight. The twisted yellow-painted aluminium facade that runs the full length and height of the building draws its inspiration from the rape seed fields that used to stretch away on the site, the twist creating a weaving modulation that imposes even while it dematerialises the mass.
The judges pronounced the design vision and detailing excellent throughout, along with rigorous and clear approaches to accessibility and way-finding – all-important in this medical environment.
