The genius of Cecil Balmond is behind some of the world's most exciting architectural endeavors. From Anish Kapoor's gigantic sculpture at the Tate Modern to Rem Koolhaas' CCTV buildings in Beijing, Balmond is the unsung hero of modern architecture. In Element, his third book, he offers a glimpse into his creative process.

Following a loose yet logical configuration, Element uses pattern, mathematical reasoning, and advanced technology to create an unconventional exploration of design. Balmond's narrative unfolds in three conceptual chapters--elements, pattern, nature--linked by two conceptual bridges--digital "tectonics" and numbers. Each of these aspects relates to each other in a number of ways, leading to a series of narratives, the correlations of which recall the archetypal Chinese wheel. The book is a highly engrossing journey of the world around us seen from different, multiple angles.

Buildings and cities grow, are transformed and dissolve. How can this evolution be generated, controlled, enhanced or imagined? Is our environment programmable? How does the fusion of natural and artificial materials produce new architectural organisms, new environments, new natures? How does technology animate space and how do users and programs animate matter? Because everything grows, especially cities, the fifth volume of Actar's Verb series looks for a new definition of the organic through architecture, graphics, and photography as well as visual and digital art. Verb Natures follows Verb 1, Verb Matters, Verb Connection and Verb Conditioning.

The structural designs that occur in nature—in molecules, in crystals, in living cells, in galaxies—is the proper source of inspiration, Peter Pearce affirms, for the design of man-made structures.Nature at all levels builds responsive and adaptive strategies that conserve material and energy resources through the use of modular components combined with least-energy structural strategies. This book—itself designed with graphic modularity and richly illustrat

ed with examples of forms created by nature and by man, including some remarkable and surprising architectural structures developed by the author—leads the designer in this "natural" direction, beyond the familiar limitations of the right angle and the cube and into a richer world of forms based on the triangle, the hexagon, and general polyhedra, as well as saddle polyhedra spanned by minimal continuous surfaces.The author writes that "Systems can be envisaged which consist of some minimum inventory of component types which can be alternatively combined to yield a great diversity of efficient structural form. We call these minimum inventory/maximum diversity systems."By such a 'system' I mean a minimized inventory of component types (a kit of parts) along with rubrics whereby the components may be combined.... The snowflake is the most graphic example in nature of the minimum inventory/maximum diversity principle. In fact, it may be considered an archetype of physicogeometric expression. All planar snow cr

ystals are found to have star-like forms with six corners (or subsets thereof).... However, within this six-fold form, no two snowflakes have ever been known to be exactly alike...."An integral part of the concept of minimum inventory/maximum diversity systems is the principle of conservation of resources. The formative processes in natural structure are characteristically governed by least-energy responses. Perhaps the simplest expression of

this is found in the principle of closest packing, a principle which even in its most elementary form is common in both the animate and inanimate worlds."Pearce's work follows in the tradition established by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson and Konrad Wachsmann, and reflects his earlier close working association with Charles Eames and Buckminster Fuller. With Eames, he contributed to the design of seating and other furniture systems, and he edited the preliminary text of Fuller's Synergetics, that grand summary of his thoughts, and prepared the illustrations for the published version of that book.Many of the ideas explored in this book have already undergone "reduction to practice" in the firm Pearce founded, Synestructics, Inc. Its initial products have been kits and kites, and a ministructure large enough for kids to crawl through, the "Curved Space Labyrinth," a saddle polyhedra system made of transparent plastic. Adult-sized structures, and indeed megastructures, based on these principles can be realized as soon as entrepreneurs emerge whose vision is commensurate with that of Peter Pearce.

Studio5 Final Exhibition - Day 1 | Stüdyo5 Final Sergisi - 1.Gün @ YEM / Istanbul

YTU 1:1 Material_Experimentation Exhibition has just opened on January 17th at YEM The Building Information Center.

The Exhibit displays the work of the students from the MTG Design Studio at Yildiz Technical University Department of Architecture. The students are displaying their first experimental 1 scale pavillions

Once upon a time ....

The students of Studio 5 were successful in creating 3 basic parametric design projects called Cave, Ladybug and Fence, which were based on the fairytale James and the Giant Peach. Although it was a strenuous process, the story behind the project required a sense of adventure that created a fun and lively atmosphere for the students.

The Students of Studio 5 shared in the exciting adventures of James and his friends (Ladybug) in their new home (Cave) where they faced many obstacles (Fence). Their ability to work together, to inspire each other and to overcome their obstacles allowed them all to enjoy the fairy tale of James and the Giant Peach

The Exhibition open until 25th of January ...

Yapı Endüstri Merkezi'nde devam etmekte olan YTÜ 1:1 Materyal_Deneyim isimli 1. sınıf mimarlık öğrencilerinin Mimari Projeye Giriş (MTG) dersi kapsamında gerçekleştirdikleri 1:1 ölçekli dönem sonu projelerinin 2. Gününde Stüdyo 5 olarak James ve Dev Şeftali hikayesinden yola çıkarak hazırlanan projelerin kurulumları tamamlanmıştır.

James ve Dev Şeftali hikayesindeki gibi çok heyecanlı ve yorucu bir serüvenin ardından gerçekleşen sergi 25 Ocak 2011 Salı gününe kadar Yapı Endüstri Merkezi'nde gezilebilir.

Evvel zaman içinde...

Studyo 5 öğrencileri James ve Dev şeftaki hikayesinden yola çıkarak soyutladıkları Cave, Ladybug ve Fence isimli 3 ''temel hesaplamalı tasarım'' projesini 1/1 ölçekte başarıyla gerçekleştirdiler. Her ne kadar uzun ve zahmetli bir süreç yaşamış olsalar da tıpkı hikayedeki gibi canlı bir atmosferde ve bolca eğlenerek mimarlık hayatlarındaki ilk serüvenlerini mutlu sonla tamamladılar.

Bütün dönemin değerlendirmesinin yapılacağı tartışma ve sunumlar, 24 Ocak Pazartesi günü saat 14:00'da başlayacak olan kolokyumda izlenebilir.
