Designed by Hooba Design Group, the Espriss Cafe with 28sqm space is located in Nejatollahi street in centre of Tehran surrounded by Iranian handicrafts shops, neighboring the building of Iranian handicrafts Organization. The aim of the project was to renovate a gift shop and change it to a cafe, considering the small size of the project and its location the main idea inspired by the urban context to transform the traditional elements into an architectural interior space. In designing the spatial diagram of the Espriss Cafe, the materiality concept is based on an integrated geometry continues from outside to inside.The neighboring…
The Sydney Garden Pavilion by AR-MA, called Trifolium, was constructed using thousands of components. The pavilion’s curves were created by joining robotically-produced Corian panels with laser-cut mirrors. AR-MA, an Australian studio, won the second edition of the Fugitive Structures architecture competition with their Trifolium design. This annual competition invites emerging or mid-career architects to propose structures that utilize advanced technologies. The pavilion is located in the garden of the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation in Sydney. Trifolium is a unique, self-supporting shell structure located in Sydney. Its three-pronged shape creates a beautiful curved canopy that can be used as a meeting…
Project EGG is an object measuring 5 x 4 x 3 meters, composed of 4760 uniquely shaped stones, 3D-printed by Studio Michiel van der Kley together with hundreds of co-creators all over the world. The largest 3D-printing community art project so far. A new way of creating and collaborating.
The PortHole, is an ephemeral anamorphic pavilion that TOMA! made for the Festival des Architectures Vives in 2015.

Milan Expo 2015: over 1,000 bamboo panels clad the roof of China’s Milan Expo pavilion, which features an elaborate structure that merges the profile of the Beijing skyline with a mountain landscape. Rejecting the notion of cultural pavilion as an object in a plaza, the China Pavilion is conceived as a field of spaces located beneath a floating cloud. The China Pavilion embodies the project’s theme, “The Land of Hope,” through its unique roof form, which merges the profile of a city skyline on the building’s north side with the profile of a rolling landscape on the south side, expressing…
Article by JuHyun Lee, Ning Gu, and Anthony Williams As one of the emerging Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technologies for digital design and visualisation in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) domain, parametric design potentially offers an innovative way of generating new design solutions. Despite this potential, design strategies associated with algorithmic scripting are not well understood.This paper provides a comprehensive understanding of individual design strategies supporting creative solutions in parametric design, using the combined application of protocol analysis and Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT). The article examines the generative and evolutionary aspects of parametric design that play an important role in the generation of…
This article was published in International Journal of Applied Mathematics And Informatics in 2011 by Milena Stavric and Ognen Marina Computer simulation of evolutionary processes is already well established technique for the study of environmental, biological and economic dynamics. Use of algorithms for generation of virtual entities that will develop its functional and formal properties within the non-linear process of adaptation of complex system is a foundation for new point of view in understanding architecture and urban environment. This paper describes parametric approach in architectural design through elaboration of shift in paradigms in architecture that has brought to the idea of…
LOOM, an Adaptable, Wearable, and Flexible 3D Printed Dress by Maria Alejandra Mora-Sanchez LOOM by Maria Alejandra Mora-Sanchez is an expandable, adaptable, wearable and flexible 3d printed dress that adapts to all body types and body changes. Houston-based designer Maria Alejandra Mora-Sanchez is paving the way for 3D printed textiles with the launch of a new fashion garment in partnership with Cosine Additive. Mora-Sanchez may be new to the world of 3D printed fashion – the young maker is currently in the midst of an industrial design degree at the University of Houston, alongside an internship at Cosine – but…
Mahallat Residential Building No3, designed by Tehran based architecture firm CAAT Studio, is a 3-story residential building with a total area of 290.0 m2 in Mahallat, Iran. Text description provided by the architects. The project is located on a residential periphery of Mahallat, 262 kilometers southwest of Tehran with the hot and dry climate. The area surrounding the city is rich with travertine which is mainly because of the two significant travertine local mines called Hajiabad and Abbasabad. The project was delegated to the architect at a time when the structure and floors plates were already built and the client…
