ETH Zurich and Zaha Hadid Architects unveiled KnitCandela, a 3d knitted concrete pavilion transportable via suitcase. ETH Zurich, working in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects Computation and Design Group (ZHCODE) and Architecture Extrapolated (R-Ex) have designed KnitCandela, a thin, sinuous concrete shell built on ultralightweight knitted formwork that was carried to Mexico from Switzerland in a suitcase. The “KnitCandela” prototype is a five-tone concrete structure that represents the first application of this technology at an architectural scale. The pavilion is on display at the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporaneo in Mexico City. Text description provided by architects. Constructed at the Museo…
UNStudio’s Vision for a Hyperloop Transfer Hub for Future Transit in Europe. The Dutch architectural practice, UNStudio, shares visions for a hyperloop transfer hub for future transit in Europe. The project is done in a collaboration with Hardt Hyperloop. The station prototype focuses on a tessellated module that can expand or contract to adapt to a variety of contexts. The project was designed by UNStudio’s future-focused think tank, UNSFutures. Text description provided by architects. This is the Hardt Hyperloop Hub: a vision for the future of European Hyperloop stations, and a study of how the Hyperloop can incorporate itself into…
Iridescence, Behnaz Farahi’s Interactive Collar, Uses Hundreds of Actuators and Vision-Activated Technology to Follow Your Gaze and React with Life-Like Behavior. Created by renowned designer and technologist Behnaz Farahi, the Iridescence is an interactive, 3D-printed, and emotive collar, uses hundreds of actuators and vision-activated technology to follow your gaze and react with life-like behavior. The project was commissioned by the Museum of Science and Industry Chicago for a 15-month exhibition entitled “Wired to Wear” starting from March 21, 2019. Text description provided by designer. What if our clothing could sense the movement and emotions of those around us? How might…

One of the strongest aspects that are prominent from this style is ‘geometry’. Arguably, there is nothing new about geometry and aesthetics forming the most prominent aspect of any style or era. The language of any style, in the long history…
Meandering Arcades, is MEAN’s proposal for Sharjah Modern Museum. The project is an exploration in rethinking the timeless architectural typologies in the region with a contemporary mindset. A novel, Contemporary, Regional Architecture Our proposal ‘Sharjah Modern’: Barjeel Art Foundation Museum is an exploration in rethinking the timeless architectural typologies in the region with a contemporary mindset. Drawing on fractal tessellations, the team designed a modular building that provides spaces for meeting, dwelling and enjoying art. Taking notes from the tools of regional space-making with a contemporary design mindset; the building is a seamless integration of exterior to interior. Facing the…
The Sweden-based architect Jesper Wallgren has created algorithms by Finch3d to design adaptive building plans. Wallgren has a long history of teaching parametric design both in academia and industry. Finch is a tool for Architects to leverage their designs in the early phases of a project. Right now it’s under development and will be launched as a plug-in to Rhino/Grasshopper during 2020. Finch is a tool that will automate repetitive tasks and guide architects through the design process by helping them to make more informed decisions using simulations and AI. By doing this, architects will be able to spend more time…
British architect, David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates has revealed visuals of The Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi. The Abrahamic Family House commissioned by The Higher Committee for Human Fraternity is an interfaith complex in Abu Dhabi that will contain a church, mosque, and synagogue, which sit upon a secular visitor pavilion. The landmark project hopes to embody the relationship between the three Abrahamic faiths whilst providing a platform for dialogue, understanding, and coexistence between their religions. The three cubic temples are designed by Adjaye Associates to encourage “peaceful co-existence and acceptance” of the three Abrahamic faiths…

Real Virtuality is an architectural installation at the Royal Academy of Arts, designed by Gilles Retsin Architecture to combine timber construction with Augmented Reality and Automation. Exploring how Augmented Reality could be used for fabrication, rather than merely visualisation, Gilles Retsin Architecture used Microsoft’s Hololens to assemble modular timber building blocks of the Real Virtuality project in real-time. The Hololens overlays a digital model of the envisioned design in the exhibition space, indicating the position of the lego-like blocks and their connections. As the blocks are modular and the design is not fixed, adaptations to the design could be done…
