Ink Outline technique
2007-03-22 11:09:00
It is simple to convert an image into sketch outline with a simple Photoshop command. Just click 'Find Edges' under Filter will do. Before that, you might want to adjust your image contrast level stronger with "CTRL + L". How to convert an AutoCAD drawing into a presentable, sketchy ink effect outline image? Just look under "Filter">"Brush Strokes" > "Dark Stroke" will do. With additional command of "Sprayed Stroke" under the same "Brush Stroke" category, u shall have much more impressive image.I located a site that consist lots of simple yet powerful photoshop techniques, enjoy learning. to find out more...

BIM versus Wiki: The Analogy
2007-03-20 03:23:00
"Despite the fact that AEC professionals have been increasingly using modern communication media such as email, fax, audio conferencing, web conferencing, and so on, the majority of them are not satisfied with their collaboration experience (see the AECbytes article, Reinventing Collaboration across Internal and External Project Teams). Collaboration problems include issues such as delays receiving input, difficulty in quickly retrieving relevant information, difficulty interpreting feedback, or coordination issues. This is where the wiki platform can help. The fundamental concept of wiki and BIM is surprisingly very similar—both enable multiple individuals to access and modify the data and information stored in a single central location (see Figures 1 and 2 showing the BIM and wiki concept respectively). Wiki , however, operates on a more general set of data when compared to BIM and can readily address most of the communication problems faced by AEC professionals." to find oure mo...

ZLG Design
2007-03-17 06:18:00
Zlg's new wordpress site."zlgdesign’s very own approach to design development processes in the organisation is a self-critique on their customised proto-typing and exploration techniques. Huat calls this design intelligence, revisited and built over many years to survive critical investigation and intellectual discourse on all levels of their work. They do away with adapting to or embracing mainstream typology in buildings but take their stance and follow artistic directions set down at the onset of the conceptual phase of design, minus the styling. They’ve always maintained and believe that their Architecture is about people, and never about style or about winning “beauty� contests, although they like competition. Their work embrace [and thereafter adopt and develop to maturity] whatever comes in the way of development of their designs, whether this makes sensible methodology or not. These processes are not ends but means to create something new, something unique, specific...

Bali Trip

Our long waited company trip is to Bali this year. We stayed in hotel padma for 3days 2 night.My observation:-Legend. You need to understand the legend to probe into the sculptural decorative architecture.Wood details- main feature of architecture in Bali. The concrete are full of wood detail.2d Patterns - flowers and plants are used as patterns into decoration, a language to express the nature.Sculpture- sculpture of the legendary spirits are throughout the entire Bali.The Barong Dance of Bali must be read and seen for further understanding of the culture.Religion. Like most countries, religion is the strongest factor to architectural formation.Landscape architecture- One of the most interesting session you cannot miss in Bali.to find out more...

Micro Compact Home
2007-02-25 15:56:00
"The team of researchers and designers based in London and at the Technical University in Munich developed the m-ch as an answer to an increasing demand for short stay living for students, business people, sports and leisure use and for weekenders. The m-ch, now in use and available throughout Europe, combines techniques for high quality compact 'living' spaces deployed in aircraft, yachts, cars, and micro apartments. Its design has been informed by the classic scale and order of a Japanese tea-house, combined with advanced concepts and technologies. Living in an m-ch means focusing on the essential - less is more. The use of progressive materials complements the sleek design. Quality of design, touch and use are the key objectives for the micro compact home team....for 'short stay smart living'.

Ucs technique, rotate your entire ucs accordingly to your required angle is important. You can rotate your entire view in your paper space without rotating the actual ucs in model space. Just type "UCS" when you are at paperspace, rotate the ucs then type "Plan" to have the view reflected in the viewport. Remember to save your view to avoid losing it.This post is a reminder.

"Søren Robert Lund won the Arken Muse um commission through a national competition in 1988; the museum opened March 1996. This eight year evolution of the museum's design has had a critical effect on the final building as it reveals itself today. The design of the museum can be divided into a number of different realms including the overall layout, the spatial experience, and ultimately, the details. " to find out more...

The Skyscraper Museum

"On March 1st, 2004 we inaugurated our extraordinary new home, brilliantly designed by Roger Duffy of the internationally-based architecture firm SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, LLP). The SOM design is a dazzling work of contemporary architecture featuring a permanent gallery for the core exhibit Skyscraper /City, a gallery for changing exhibitions, a bookstore, and a mezzanine for staff offices. The design features polished stainless-steel floors and ceilings that reflect the floor-to-ceiling exhibition cases into endless verticals, generating a sense of towering volumes. A large-scale "light box" by artist James Turrell will form the Muse um 's entrance. This will be Turrell's first outdoor public artwork in New York, and it will be an icon of light and hope in the redevelopment of Lower Manhattan."Passage & Image from http://www.skyscraper.org/LOCATION/NEW_HO ME/slideshows.htm#

"We are particularly interested in combining knowledge of vernacular building methods and conventional forms of standardization with advanced digitally-controlled production systems. However, we do not choose to work from a rigid theoretical position or to adopt an ideological approach to design. Instead, we prefer to take a flexible, tactical approach that deals with immediate circumstances. With each new project we attempt to build flexible spaces that remain open to the improvisations of everyday life." to find out more...Passage & Image from http://www.minday.com/info/profile.htm

Rendering
2007-01-02 04:27:02
"Rendering is the process of generating an image from a model, by means of computer programs. The model is a description of three dimensional objects in a strictly defined language or data structure. It would contain geometry, viewpoint, texture and lighting information. The image is a digital image or raster graphics image. The term may be by analogy with an "artist's rendering" of a scene. 'Rendering' is also used to describe the process of calculating effects in a video editing file to produce final video output." to find out more...Passage from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_(c omputer_graphics)

C³ Virtual Build

"C³ was founded in 1991 by Rick Smith who began working with three-dimensional computer graphic systems in the 1970s. With over a decade of experience working at Lockheed Aircraft Corporation and IBM, Rick helped develop advanced computer modeling software and techniques for a rapidly evolving aerospace industry. In 1991, C³ was contacted by Frank O. Gehry & Associates who were seeking a way to modernize their current in-house design processes, which relied heavily upon antiquated methods, and to digitally define a new direction for Mr. Gehry's challenging designs.After a gruelling 72 hour technology proving session to digitally capture the initial Walt Disney Concert Hall design, Mr. Gehry felt C³ was the right company to lead them in this new direction.Beginning with the Fish Sculpture for the 1992 Olympics and concluding with the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, C³ grew to become ten highly skilled designers working with Mr. Gehry?s staff for over a twelve year ...
