We attended the @msdsocial Dean’s Lecture by Achim Menges on Wednesday night. This is the 2017 ICD-ITKE research pavilion at the University of Stuttgart. Extrapolating his prior carbon filament work, the extreme cantilever of this pavilion was achieved off site by two robotic arms and an aerial drone. Needs to be seen to be believed. […]

We attended the @msdsocial Dean’s Lecture by Achim Menges on Wednesday night. This is the 2015 ICD-ITKE research pavilion at the University of Stuttgart. Strands of carbon fibre filament are strung across and bonded to an ETFE surface by an in-situ robotic arm.

We attended the @msdsocial Dean’s Lecture by Achim Menges on Wednesday night. This is the 2011 ICD-ITKE research pavilion at the University of Stuttgart. Plywood panels are arranged in a complex but optimised framework, enclosing maximum space with minimum mass.

We attended the @msdsocial Dean’s Lecture by Achim Mendes on Wednesday night, who shared this quote from Julian Vincent, the Chair in Biomimetics at the University of Bath. We’ll be exploring Mendes’ work today and tomorrow, which exists in the fantastical realm at the intersection of biology and technology. #inspiration #inspirationalquotes #famousquote #quote #quotes #architecture […]

Favourite dead architects: Torres de Satélite by Luis Barragan in collaboration with painter Jesús Reyes Ferrira and sculptor Mathias Goeritz was the first major urban sculpture in Mexico. It appears “value management” was prevalent even in the 1950s, as the towers were originally planned to stretch 200m into the sky but were ultimately reduced to […]

Favourite dead architects: Luis Barragan made sublime use of water as a building element, an ever-changing material that complements the heavy mass of his architecture. Cuadra San Cristobel, Mexico City, 1968.

Favourite dead architects: another of Luis Barragan’s own house and studio. That man knew how to place a window, it reminds us of Caravaggio’s extraordinary Calling of Saint Matthew.

Favourite dead architects: Luis Barragan’s own house and studio. Against the raw mass of the walls, the window is all slenderness and light.

Favourite dead architects: Erica loves the work of San Cristobel Stables by Luis Barragán. He was a true master of mass and void, and light and shadow.

Favourite artists: the story behind @cj_hendry and her supersized hyper realism is as fascinating as her art. An architecture student in Queensland with a passion for drawing postponed her studies for a year to give her art a crack. Many years and international exhibitions later, not to mention fame and fortune, she’s still going strong. […]
