As the architectural gaze increasingly focuses on sustainability, it’s no surprise that timber structures are very much in vogue amongst a creative group of architects pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with this most natural of materials.
Art Machines: International Symposium on Computational Media Art is set to take place from January 4 -7 2019 at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong bringing together academics, artists and professionals in the field of computational media art in a four-day symposium whose core theme will be the topic of Machine Learning and Art. For this blog post, we thought this is such an interesting subject that we’d explore the area a little more. It’s certainly a fascinating area!
These installations allow the visitors to hear the work, rather than simply look at it and sometimes encouraging them to help bring the work to life by contributing their own sounds.
This week (Nov 28-30) top architect practices from around the world will find out which has scooped the coveted World Building on the Year at the World Architecture Festival (WAF) Awards, this year taking place in Amsterdam.

Michael Rees has experimented with combining digital technology and contemporary themes with sculpture for 20+ years. The objects he creates are always the starting points for a rich interactive experience.
The Felleshus of the Nordic Embassies in Berlin is playing host to Architecture and Landscape in Norway, an exhibition running until January 17, 2019, showing a selection of photographs depicting the intersection of contemporary architecture and landscape along Norway’s most scenic roads.
The official National Scenic Routes are 18 specially selected roads that run along the coasts and fjords, and over the mountains and plains, which by 2024 will have almost 250 rest areas and viewpoints created by some 60 architectural firms, landscape specialists, designers, and artists.
The photographs are the work of award-winning photographer Ken Schluchtmann, who has traveled more than 25,000km over the past eight years, living in his VW-Bus for weeks to produce more than 10,000 photos. Schluchtmann, working with Berlin creative agency Bluescope, have created an experience that allowed visitors to immerse themselves in Norway’s impassable and impressive landscape. They’ve also used the architecture of the building to be effect – incorporating its various levels and materials, such as exposed concrete, glass, wood and metal, all reminiscent of the architecture depicted in the photographs.
ASCUS Art & Science, a non-profit founded in 2008 and based in Edinburgh, Scotland but serving an international community.
