The Sigmund Freud Park located in the very center of Vienna operates as the regions main recreation area. Therefore the site conjures the common architectural dilemma of…
Digital Substance The Digital Substance of Oleg Soroko was generated by algorithms in Rhino3D and Grasshopper3D. Russian artist and designer Oleg Soroko of AfterForm explores the new possibilities of geometries and creates forms, modified by digital substance, generated with algorithms in Houdini, Rhino3D, and Grasshopper3D. Oleg is researching how procedural forms can bring a new fresh look to different objects like furniture, cars, architecture, and cloth. His goal is to create a new form of language by procedurally generated structures, based on the different physical processes, mixed and changed by an algorithm. The basic idea of this spiral look algorithm…
