Skyscrapers, Summer Pavilion, Festivals, and more!
Our latest newsletter brings you a burst of creativity and innovation from the world of art, architecture, and design.
Hello,
We have some exciting news to share with you! ⚡
Foster + Partners built the Radial Summer Pavilion in collaboration with Brookfield Properties for the London Festival of Architecture (LFA).
Havelar completed Portugal’s first 3D-printed house in the Greater Porto area using COBOD’s 3D construction printing technology. Additionally, BM Partners completed Central Asia’s first 3D-printed house in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The 100-square-meter house was constructed in less than two months.
This weekend, the workshop will primarily focus on Grasshopper and the plug-in Pufferfish to explore geometrical operations. We will look at techniques that yield certain results as we work with specific geometric typologies.
Let's delve into the newsletter and explore these exciting developments! 👋
This weekend: Fractal Matrix Architecture 🚀
The workshop will primarily focus on Grasshopper and the plug-in Pufferfish to explore geometrical operations. We will look at techniques that yield certain results as we work with specific geometric typologies. The geometric typologies that will be examined will be orthogonal, cubic, and rectangular geometrical systems.
