Midjourney, Japanese Architecture, Robotics, and more

Hello,

We hope you are having a great weekend. We have some news from around the world to share with you.

Foster + Partners and BIG, along with the Turkish Design Council, will help rebuild Hatay after the earthquake that occurred on February 6, 2023.

The famous MX3D Bridge will be relocated for further research on its WAAM capabilities. The City of Amsterdam has given a 2-year permit for the MX3D Bridge to be used in the busiest part of the city for testing 3D-printed infrastructure. We are excited to learn new location! ??

SOS presented its third exhibition titled "R?umliche Solidarit?ten " (Spatial Solidarities) at Das Gelbe Haus Flims in Switzerland. We had an interview with SOS co-founder Sebastian Behmann, we discussed "Spatial Solidarities" and the motivations that shaped their most recent exhibition in Flims. The exhibition will be on display from 8 October 2023 to 27 October 2024.

We are excited to announce PAACADEMY's new AI Creative Challenge 3.0 ! If you haven't joined our membership program, hurry up and take part in our new offers.

Lastly, we want to remind you that we are still offering a 15% discount on all upcoming and previous PAACADEMY workshops exclusively for members! Additionally, members can get AI Bundle 2 with a 35% digital discount, which includes three different workshops.

“The relationship between nature and culture is dominated by humans,” says Sebastian Behmann

SOS (Studio Other Spaces), an office for architecture and art founded by artist Olafur Eliasson and architect Sebastian Behmann, presented their 3rd exhibition titled “R?umliche Solidarit?ten” (Spatial Solidarities) at Das Gelbe Haus Flims in Switzerland. On display from 8 October 2023 to 27 October 2024, the exhibition employs a multi-narrative structure by showcasing a selection of SOS’s projects in connection with local initiatives from Flims and the area.

Contemporary Japanese architecture: Kazuyo Sejima and 6 inspiring projects

Sejima began working with the architecture firm Toyo Ito and Associates in the same year and continued to work with them until 1987. In 1987, she decided to go out independently and established Kazuyo Sejima & Associates. Her initial solo works reflect an attraction to transience and neutrality. With rapidly gaining national recognition for her work, Sejimai gained the Young Architect of the Year award in 1992.

Role of Mapping in Disaster Management

Disaster mapping, also known as crisis mapping, is a method used to evaluate, record, and communicate data regarding the location of a disastrous event as well as the distribution of its effects or potential effects. Disasters might be abrupt, but it is possible to foresee their impact on regions, therefore, the damage magnitudes and affected people.

Advances in sustainable robotic constructions: An overview

Building sustainably turns slowly but steadily from suggestion to norm. The general aim is to ensure that actions today are laying the foundation for a healthy future for future generations. Robotic innovations have revolutionized the construction industry, ushering in an era of sustainable building practices.

With the increasing temperature of the Earth, can we find ways to cool down our cities?

The impact of heat is felt by everyone, but it affects people living in cities more than those in suburban or rural areas. The urban heat island effect is responsible for the higher temperatures experienced in many cities worldwide. This increase in temperature is mainly due to climate change and the growing number of heat islands in urban areas. So, with the increasing temperature of the Earth, can we find ways to cool down our cities?

Human-centric design: How to plan for people?

Placing and understanding humans as a central part of the design process, this statement provides a good starting point to answer fundamental questions: If human-centric design can be a service – rather than a ‘standard’ – what other design approaches are there? Is there a difference between human-centric and human-centered? Is human-centric design a mere marketing strategy or an actual design approach with its own aesthetic? How do human-centered design and technology go together?
