Described as “a place for introspection,” Philadelphia’s Calder Gardens will showcase the work of famed sculptor Alexander Calder. LF Driscoll is leading the construction of the complex project, designed to be built almost entirely of exposed concrete—with walls up to 7 feet thick. Read more about the intense planning, in-depth #VDC, and creative problem-solving of the LFD team in our latest issue of #STOBGinsights: https://lnkd.in/eWNAbSV4

The laser-lifted gaseous carbon aggregates and their re-assembly into C60 and C70 are excellent observations by prepared minds of the three: @Robert Curl, @Harold Kroto, and @Richard Smalley. Recently, I came across an article by Maria Isabel Sierra-Trillo et al. I've also included below. Please read if you have time: https://lnkd.in/gWkuZ_AX
Carbon is an element that can assume a number of different forms. In nature, for example, it can be found as graphite or diamonds. In 1985, Robert Curl, Harold Kroto and Richard Smalley discovered a brand new form - the fullerene. Curl, Kroto and Smalley irradiated a surface of graphite with laser pulses so that carbon gas was formed. When the gas condensed, previously unknown structures with 60 and 70 carbon atoms were formed. The most common structure had 60 carbon atoms arranged in a sphere with five and six edges - also known as a buckyball, the shape resembles a football. The structures were called fullerenes in honour of architect Buckminster Fuller, who worked with this geometric shape.

The snub square tiling is one of the semi-regular tessellations, where regular triangles and squares match perfectly to fill the plane without gaps or overlaps. The Euclidean construction of Snub Square tiling is possible by utilizing the basic compass and straightedge operations. I made this construction in Rhinoceros to show that there is no need for any numerical input to locate the points and draw the tiling. There are two major techniques explained there. One of them is the basic method to draw triangles by using a compass or a circle. The other is the calculation of the right angle (90 degrees) without any number but only geometric construction. This ancient art and science is still interesting and educational for the basics of architectural geometry.

softmax classifier to classify architectural styles. Softmax is particularly useful for multi-class classification problems, where the goal is to predict one class out of multiple possible classes. In the context of architectural styles, this means each input (e.g., an image of a building plan) is assigned a probability for each style (e.g., Gothic, Modern, Baroque). #machine_learning_for_architetcs

vibrant panels whizz and whir in pinaffo & pluvinage’s en cascade installation. intertwining art, architecture, and mechanics, fashioned from cardboard and powered solely by sand, the seemingly rudimentary machine rivals the intricacy of electronic machines. at first glance, the motions suggest a presence of high-tech motors, however, upon closer reflection, it reveals the true source of its animation – cascading sands that flow through each mechanism and bring the apparatus to life. read more here: https://buff.ly/3w4i1pM

Now, forget everything you know about proportions, modularity, and rectilinearity of brick (as shown in my previous post ( https://lnkd.in/gCW67VMT ) and have a little fun! (Just remember to make it constructible.) Enjoy this discussion and examples of buildings that break all the rules. And then I bring it full circle (no pun intended) back to arches. #ArchitecturalBrick #Brick #NoRules

Wingardium Leviosa! or was as it the #GSA spell that keeps King's Cross Roof afloat! Read the case study to unlock the spell.
Happy Harry Potter Day! 🪄⚡ This week, we’ve been showcasing the King's Cross station case study where #OasysGSA was used to analyse and design the Western Concourse roof. Famously, every year at King's Cross station, the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would run through the wall to platform 9 ¾. Here, they wait for the Hogwarts Express which transports them to and from King's Cross station. Check out the case study to find out how Arup engineers and their wizardry combined with #GSA’s magical capabilities was instrumental to the station’s roof design: https://lnkd.in/epS2yHQu #HarryPotter #Wizardry #Magic #Spells #Structural #StructuralEngineering #StructuralAnalysis #StructuralDesign #KingsCross #RoofAnalysis #RailwayStation Photo credit: Andy Gardner (Arup)
