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.
04 OCTOBER 2020
1st part of the day.
Caught a train to Wynyard Station.
Short walk to Barangaroo.
Picked up a couple of donuts and a flat white at Short Stop (Shop 3/23 Barangaroo Ave, Barangaroo NSW 2000). These donuts have got to be THE BEST I've had in my life. They were AMAZING. I had the Australian Honey & Sea Salt Cruller and the Earl Grey & Rose Cake. Original flavours, incredible texture. I strongly recommend!
Walked from Barangaroo, through Barangaroo Reserve and Walsh Bay.
Took some pictures of some artwork along the way.
Had to get the iconic Crown Sydney Hotel Resorts, which is redefining the skyline of the city. It will be the tallest building in Sydney this year. I worked on that building! I've been the Project Engineer that has fully project managed all aspects of the structural steel (columns, beams and voronoi structures), aluminium cladding and stainless steel guttering for Canopies 5, 6, and 7 on that building.
Ended at The Rocks.
Walked to Circular Quay.
Took the Manly Ferry (see next picture!).

ABOUT THE INSTALLATION:
Werner Kurosawa
aka Werner Van dermeersch
A Hermétique Garage in suspension of frozen time. Space is getting bended during it's acceleration towards the speed of light. A ladder at first too big is deconstructing to persuade it's goal to fit the GH (Garage Hermétique).

Ladder Contraction is a thought experiment in special relativity. It involves a ladder traveling horizontally and undergoing a length contraction, the result of which being that it can fit into a much smaller garage. On the other hand, from the point of view of an observer moving with the ladder, it is the garage that is moving and the garage will be contracted to an even smaller size, therefore being unable to contain the ladder at all. This apparent paradox results from the assumption of absolute simultaneity. In relativity, simultaneity is relative to each observer and thus the ladder can fit into the garage in both instances.
Here we take a similar pattern to our Voronoi tessellation from before, and modify it- we can't just keep extending the pleats from the region on the right, as that won't fold flat in the manner that we desire. So instead we have to modify it a bit and create a new set of pleats. This is a little tedious but it yields a wonderfully clean result.
If you look carefully, you can see some circles I drew at various important points- in the final collapse they all come together nicely to create a single point (and thusly a single circle). well, they would if I had more accurate folding + drawing skills, anyway.
This is a particular topic that has been bugging me for a few months now, and I sat down today and spent a few hours really fiddling with it to try to figure it out. I think I've got most of it understood, now.

Using recursive polygon subdivision (see www.flickr.com/photos/v3ga/11776797325/) with a voronoi map of spiral-distributed points.
Improvements
With access to web traffic data, one could compile a pragmatic view of coverage driven by the locations of actual website visitors (but this would just be the incestuous results of the current method craigslist uses to allocate visitors to sites). That's ok, but it's more detective work than interesting data creation.
The use of openstreetmap data to weight the polygon drawing by travel time would improve the realism of the hypothetical zones considerably. In that case, maybe it could be used to drive a more efficient assignment of craigslist.org visitors to their actual-nearest craigslist community. That would rule.
Spin-off Functionality
Creating these areas was, in part, a helpful testbed for a generic region-building functionality that is in the skunk-works here at IDV. The algorithmically inclined Abhinav Dayal has been crafting our drive-time service that is already doing a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to Voronoi diagramming. So, down the road we might see a new specialized tool that generates best-fit areas around an existing set of points -useful for some what-if scenarios around territory creation, available to the business user, not just the research scientist.
Nerdy Bits
• Scrape the list of Craig’s cities at www.craigslist.org/about/sites.
• Split joint-locations into individual locations (like "Odessa / Midland")
• Geocode place-specific locations.
• Manually position the more regional locations (like "Southeast Iowa").
• Divide locations into three geographically distinct regions (split by the Continental Divide along the spine of the Rockies and the Mississippi); duplicate any locations that meaningfully straddle a border, like St. Louis. I do this to introduce some true-cost of crossing either of those features, in the face of an algorithm that would otherwise treat the whole country as a smooth unfettered plain.
• Run Voronoi (Thiessen) algorithm to generate best-fit zones for the points, for all three regions.
• Clip Voronoi zones by a “land” shape to cut out the oceans and provide a common border between the three regions.
• Merge the 3 regional Voronoi sets into a unified nation-wide set.
• Dissolve boundaries between same-website Voronoi zones (to re-combine the joint-locations up there in step 2) into merged chunky polygons.
• Manually re-assign oddly-orphaned or split areas (common along complicated shorelines).
That's just about it. Thoughts? Ideas? Outrage? Incredulity? Guffaws? Know a good dataset to improve this method?

Size 2000 x 750 x 325 mm, made from white PF-coated 9mm plywood. Low shelf generated and optimised for 50% large art books and 50% regular soft and hard cover books.
My take on a common map exercise. Each black star represents a state capital city, the surrounding polygon is a Voronoi/Thiessen polygon, meaning that each point within a certain polygon is closer to that capital city than anywhere else. A reconception of state boundaries based solely on planar geometric distance. Original state boundaries are included for reference.
Ideas for future work: Population density analysis of the new "states".
Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation Bibliotheca
A stunning new architectural installation commissioned for the first anniversary of the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation (SCAF) in Sydney creates a spectacular space for displaying catalogues and other publications.
The installation is an evolutionary display, which will adapt and grow in response to each new gallery project while creating an ephemeral and surreal experience with changing lights and effects.
Holding a selection of Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation and Art & Australia publications in honeycomb shaped cells, the installation is backlit through transparent acrylic via energy efficient LED lights.
The installation showcases LAVA’s ongoing fascination with the efficiency and beauty of geometries in nature – the potential for naturally evolving systems for new building typologies and structures.
“The shape of the installation is based on a “voronoi”, or “bubble geometry”,.
Dr Gene Sherman, director of Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation who commissioned the work said, “LAVA`s installation possesses an aesthetic that resonates throughout the gallery space while being surprisingly functional.”
The bookcase uses the latest digital fabrication and engineering techniques such as CNC milling and CAD CAM technology. LAVA maintained a “digital chain” throughout the design and production process, which has established offices in Sydney, Abu Dhabi and Stuttgart over the past 12 months.

This "Stone Fossil" seeks to capture a moment in time when a leaf or insect is captured in a brief embrace with the forming rock and they each imprint on each other.
This lace rock (NZ schist) is made from 100% cotton thread which has been crocheted into lace that seamlessly encapsulates the rock.
Each rock dictates the form of the lace as the tensions and curves pull the lace into a unique shape. There is a beautiful contrast of soft and hard, earth made and man made, nature and art.
Each rock/pebble is a unique one of a kind piece which can be used as a paperweight, outdoor tablecloth weight, wedding table decoration, centrepiece or gift. The smaller ones can be secreted in a pocket as a personal talisman.
They look great in random small collections either grouped in a loose display, or together in a stunning bowl.
