Universal Everything is a global collective of digital artists, designers, animators, musicians, and developers, creating video artworks for iconic architecture, inventing immersive multi-sensory experiences and directing new forms of moving images.
Pamela Tan explores various fields in art, architecture, and design with her work cutting across and blurring the boundaries between disciplines.
Foster + Partners has cooked up the Exploration Pavilion in the Gingerbread City exhibit at the V&A in London, organised by the Museum of Architecture.
The project explores the mouth-watering possibilities of building with an unusual material – gingerbread. Combining emergent robotic technologies with traditional baking and handcrafting techniques, the practice has constructed an exciting and complex-shaped pavilion building.
Using innovative methods and technologies used in real-world projects, the Exploration Pavilion illustrates the interface between technology and construction. The design team, consisting of architects, programmers and modelmakers, fashioned laser-cut gingerbread blocks to form the basis of the structure. They then built a script that transformed a digital 3D-model of the building into robot language, allowing a robot arm to build the gingerbread house with great precision. The playful project makes some of the complex technology used on building projects accessible to everyone.
The pavilion is on display at the V&A Museum in London until 6 January 2019. There are several gingerbread house-making workshops taking place throughout the duration of the exhibition.
Architect Margot Krasojević has designed a medical cannabis farm for both rural and urban agricultural programs.
There’s nothing like a staggering view from the top of a city building. Night or day, tall buildings offer totally a different perspective on their surroundings and give the skyline a fresh outline.
When there’s a squeeze for space in urban areas, what better way to maximise the space you have than to use the rooftops of buildings. These creative schemes make the most of building roofs while at the same time turning urban areas into creative playgrounds.
Neon lights are often only associated with shop signage but there are many artists using neon to create stunning installations.
Take a look at this ambitious urban infrastructure project in Auckland, New Zealand, The Waterview Connection.
Designers have long expressed their creativity by using innovative textiles and motifs and these three examples are no exception.
If you feel dizzy at a fairground then some of these designs might not be for you – moving pieces of architecture and installations to work in tune with their environments or to tell us something about modern life.
