Chuck Dillon

"Student 1.0" a Chuck Dillon caricature

I know this series has been making the rounds on other design sites but I thought the renditions of typical art student types was too poignant to not highlight here. I think all of us have known a student such as the ones in this pantheon or have even taught these types. Chuck Dillon, a professor and artist, does a great job at echoing the archetypes already defined by Daniel Clowes previously.

Linos

Portable Record Player, Twin Parabolic Skis, and the reinvention of the wheel. Charles Pyott has quite a few little innovations that seem to take everyday objects to a new level. What other everyday objects can be integrated with new materials and functionality?

MEMORY

who doesn't want to have free reign to throw down some sick MEMORY regarding buildings and submit to POST?

That's what I thought! Whoever doesn't submit to this is going against my mind!

PIKL Studios - re:VISION Dallas

The creative savvy of Kuopao and Pavlina team up in their cleverly named studio, PIKL. While their website is still in construction the team throws down some sick design and have been killin' it in the architecture world. They recently have started their own studio after tutelage from the much acclaimed and skilled West coast design/build studio of Sebastian Mariscal. Now on their own, the two comprise a selection of wonderful inspiration and fantastic ability. The TTU grads were recently bestowed honorable mention for their work in the re:Vision Dallas competition. Congrats to two of my best mentors while at TTU - Magnum and KaBOOM!

Seoul

2014 Asian Games Stadium; Yeonhui-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon

Hello all...Not sure who is aware but a quick update:

Last week I moved to Seoul, Korea for a job with Heerim Architects & Planners. The firm is an extremely large office, though I have the benefit in working within the design competition studio. The studio is made up of 8 people and one director. I am not allowed to disclose contents about our current project, though if we win it will be great exposure! (My design studio has won the last 5 out of 8 submitted!!)The studio operates similarly to an educational studio. All the designers make a proposal and then decisions are quickly made to begin working on the final competition submittal. Its fast paced, full of energy, and a great group of designers.
Cheers!

ANGIOGENESIS NETWORKING

Scale-Free Networks within Angiogenesis: A Non-linear Biology Study
By Jeff S Nesbit, Shuni Feng, and Josh Freese

This past year I had been working with the LabStudio (Jenny Sabin & Peter Lloyd Jones) group at the University of Pennsylvania's Institute of Medical Engineering. The work is commissioned to develop a higher level of understanding about cell lung research within a 3D, mircro-tectonic world. The project was exhibited at the Klein Gallery in Philadelphia last month and will soon receive exposure within two different publications. These images are snapshots of a larger set of complex system of 'cell' to 'cell' and 'cell' to 'extracellularmatrix/environment' relationships. The relationships are based on a strict rule set developed from the analysis of angiogenesis.

Transformative Thresholds

Hunter's Point South is a massive urban project that must respond to a wide variety of problems such as social, economical, and ecological conditions. The proposed scheme is based from a conceptual transformative system that allows for a series of expansions and compressions. This approach gives us the ability to systematically program social and ecological variations and exemplify the interaction between "ground" and "building". A primary elevated swath divides the master scheme to support different public and private agendas. Edges matter. The Newtown Creek edge is softened by passive landscapes and slow pedestrian and bike traffic while the heavy water currents of East River make for a hard edge tolerating more active landscapes.
