Normally see the abseilers coming down the rope, but this was the first time with a disc dangling!
I also went up to the Parametric Bridge for a view, although there is now metal grills at both ends of the bridge.
Previously saw them with a bag.

Photos taken from my 3 day alphagraph workshop in Metz, France. The workshop took place at ESAL Metz art school with 12 students. The basic setup was this :
DAY 1 - explore letter forms with a new digital tool.
DAY 2 - laser cut and make the letters
DAY 3 - print with a printing press
alphagraph is a small parametric tool developed in Processing for exploring letter forms. More can be read at the following address:

Another workshop of this kind had been conducted at ESAD Amiens in March 2016. Further details about this on the website workshop-lettrine-01.esad-amiens.fr/
These photos document a visit to see 'Limbo Lounge,' the recently completed restaurant / bar by Vicente Gullart [ www.guallartblog.com ] near Playa de Fora del Forat in Vinaros, España (about 2 hours south of Barcelona near Valencia). I had the pleasure of working on this project beginning with the early design phases through construction documentation and fabrication. The project relied heavily on Parametric Modeling in Top Solid (Missler). Rhinoscript was used to develop design concepts and to measure / annotate / archive each unique piece with Excel in order to seamlessly communicate with the fabricator. The design went through several iterations, each one evaluated against steel costs and structural feasibility before arriving at the constructed solution.
Please let me say that MANY people contributed to this project. This information needs to be compiled, and full credits will appear soon.

The Volatile table emerged from territories where organic design works as parametric system that modulates geometry capable of becoming a table. A single surface deforms and blends from one necessary function to another and blurs the border between horizontality and verticality. In this fashion, designed geometry is achieving continuous visual volume, and synergy of form and function.
Volatile means changeable, non-constant and unpredictable. The volatility of natural forces shapes our spatial environment through time. Digital processes are now used to simulate those forces, often generating novel geometries never before seen in design. The Volatile table is an investigation into how new simulation tools can be used for design in its relation to architecture.
A single continuous surface has been created and deformed to serve multiple functions. The geometry of the table spreads dynamically through space reawakening our tactile intelligence, a sense that has been lost in industrial design where emphasis is on hyper-rationality.
From far up angles seen as a car, to the sand dunes in close up view, the shape simulates different appearance, thus becoming volatile. In relation to the architecture it is imagined as a panel of the facade distributed on large building surface.

Happy New Decade at Selfridges Birmingham.
In reference to the 2020s (2020 to 2029).

This is a parametric shutter and pinhole clamp designed to be fastened onto a small coffee can (espresso-sized) or similar. Used with sheet film or photographic paper, this kind of pinhole camera needs to be loaded (in the DARK) with fresh film or paper for every exposure.
Mount the shutter on the cap for a classic anamorphic pinhole camera.
The tripod mounts are pending as of these uploads.

Dome, è un progetto che vede gli studenti del Laboratorio di Progetto II della Facoltà di Architettura e gli allievi della Scuola Edile di Siracusa impe-gnati a realizzare in scala 1:1 un sistema abitativo low-tech. Archi, volte e cupole in laterizio sono gli elementi costruttivi con cui gli allievi sperimentano le potenzialità d’uso innovativo di materiali e tecnologie della tradizione.
La tecnica adottata si fonda sull’impiego del ‘compasso’, un metodo che l’architetto Fabrizio Caròla impiega da oltre trent’anni in Africa ed in particolare nel Mali. Un metodo desunto dalle ‘antiche tecniche’ co¬struttive nubiane e dalle esperienze dell’architetto egiziano Hassan Fathy.
Questo cantiere didattico-sperimentale è anche un omaggio a Fabrizio Carola, “all’uomo della pietra” come lo chiamano i Dogon del Mali, l’uomo che ci ha mostrato col suo esempio la possibilità di ritrovare un più equilibrato rapporto tra architettura e luogo entro una visione in cui ricerca, formazione e professione non costituiscono più ambiti separati.
Dome is a research project which brings together the Siracusa-based Architectural Design Lab II students and the Building School students with a common goal of constructing a 1:1 low-tech shelter. Brick arches, vaults and domes become a basis for innovative experiments with traditional materials and techniques.
The adopted method is based on the use of a revolving compass - a traditional Nubian technique explored by the Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy and perfected by Fabrizio Caròla in Africa, and in particular in Mali, over a period of more than thirty years.
This experimental building site is also a homage to Fabrizio Carola - “the stone man” as the Mali Dogon call him – whose work demonstrates a possible return to a balanced relationship between architecture and its environment in a context in which research, academic and professional domains no longer constitute separate domains.

Lace Hill in Yerevan, Armenia by Forrest Fulton Architecture for International Business Center competition
forrestfulton.com/lace-hill-over-yerevan
Lace Hill stitches the adjacent city and landscape together to support a holistic, ultra-green lifestyle, somewhere between rural hillside living and dense cultured urbanity. The 85,000 square meter (900,000 sf) proposal is a new model of development for Yerevan and Armenia that supports a resilient, high-value spatial fabric, dense with overlapping natural and urban phenomenon.
