Florida Real Estate by P.W.Voigt

Miami is the beginning of an urban agglomeration of apartment buildings which ends at the restricted zone around Cape Canaveral. This linear metropolitan area developed quickly within the last couple of years.

Today, after the burst of the Real Estate Bubble, many of these structures face an unknown future.

Identity Over Time and Mr. Potato Head - Wired

The only conclusion left for us to draw is that each part is controlled by an autonomous mind. Which then raises the question: when Mr. Potato Head’s parts are all assembled as per usual in his potato-body, does he have one mind, or does he consist of a complex collaboration between independent minds?

Extracts of Local Distances

Digital scans of analogue architectural photography form tiny pieces of a large resulting puzzle. The original pictures are being analysed and categorised according to their vanishing-points and shapes. Based on this analysis, slices are being extracted from the source image. These slices retain the information of their position corresponding to their original vanishing-point and thus form a large pool of pieces, ready to be applied to new perspectives and shapes.

Elevator Rope Breakthrough Means Mile-High Buildings Possible - Core77

The problem with steel cables (or “ropes” as they are known in the trade) is that they are heavy. Any given bit of rope has to pull up not only the car and the flexible travelling cables that take electricity and communications to it, but also all the rope beneath it. The job is made easier by counterweights. But even so in a lift 500 metres tall (the maximum effective height at the moment) steel ropes account for up to three-quarters of the moving mass of the machine. Shifting this mass takes energy, so taller lifts are more expensive to run. And adding to the mass, by making the ropes longer, would soon come uncomfortably close to the point where the steel would snap under the load. Kone says it is able to reduce the weight of lift ropes by around 90% with its carbon-fibre replacement, dubbed UltraRope.

Towards A New Practice: Provocations on the future of professional architecture by Ryan Panos

Thesis Statement

The profession of architecture is in jeopardy; rethinking how architects engage in the processes of realizing building is essential to the future of practice. If architects are to remain a part of architecture, then they need to take on more accountability and risk. Seizing responsibility enables architects to regain control of processes which shape our environments.

Towards a new Practice is an architectural graphic novel critiquing The Canadian Handbook of Practice and its relation to responsibility. These documents and others like it represent a managerial hierarchical system of practice, protecting young designers from the potential pitfalls of practice. But by doing so, it has made itself a shield that we hide behind.

This is Chapter 2 of 4

I love how incorrect the lens flare looks on the finished building. Definitely a statement on over rendered images of contemporary society.
