Urbanism, AI, 3d printing, and robots

Hi everyone,

Today is January 14 and we hope you had a great week!

This week we published a few articles about urbanism, artificial intelligence, 3d printing, and robots. Let's start with a few pieces of news.

Have you followed CES 2023? This year, the show floor in Las Vegas was filled with buzzy, outstanding gizmos and gadgets such as toilet sensors, color-changing cars, and touch-sensing bionic hands.

Also, the first “robot” lawyer, powered by AI will assist a defendant in fighting a traffic ticket in the United States Supreme Court next month. What do you think?

Before diving into the articles, if you're new here; we are starting to do special workshops for PA's Digital Members! The first workshop, “Rhino For Beginners 1.0” will start on Saturday, January 28th.

So, let's take a look at what we have in this week's newsletter!

Enjoy,

Serra, Managing Editor of PA.

How does artificial intelligence impact design?

Well, Industrial Revolutions have the power to change the world, as we saw in the first, second, and third revolutions. But none of them got the power of the revolution we live in…

Most recently,?you might have your social feeds flooded by AI-generated posts; and might be wondering if AI will overtake creators and designers. So, let’s take a brief look into AI to understand how this technology is already changing the world.

Designed to be cute: What Estonian Starship robots and scooters teach us about our relationship with technology?

In 2022, delivery robots and scooters are part of the urban landscape in Tallinn, Estonia. Starship robots circle the city, delivering food safely, securely, and above all: autonomously, thanks to advanced technology that relies on “a mixture of computer vision and GPS”.

Robots as well as scooters can be booked through designated applications and are making lives more comfortable and efficient. But how come people treat robots much better than scooters?

A review of 3D printing with low-carbon concrete

Low-carbon concrete is a type of concrete that is produced by low-carbon footprint components compared to traditional material components. Low-carbon concrete is a more sustainable concrete option that can be utilized for construction. Low-carbon concrete is a method of reducing carbon footprint and waste production.

3D-printed abstract sculptures by Kevin Mack

Kevin Mack is inspired by transcendent visions, nature, and technology. His work is informed by research in a wide range of fields from neuroscience to artificial life.

Mack is fascinated by the unexpected new forms that emerge from exploring new processes and using 3d printing tools in unexpected ways. He designed visuals for many known movies such as Fight Club (1999), Big Fish (2003), Beautiful Mind (2001), and more.

Planning-by-doing: How can tactical urbanism help to create better urban spaces?

Current planning processes, which are designed with a top-down hierarchical approach of traditional urban planning, are unable to meet local needs and participatory processes, research on bottom-up urbanization.

The opportunities that tactical urbanism can provide for cities that are under extreme stress due to rapid urban population growth, inadequate urban infrastructure, and polarizations have sparked a growing debate in the literature.

15 smallest houses around the world

In designing a home, size is an important quantitative estimate in designing a minimal yet sufficient habitable space. Reduction of space is a factor that is posing a threat, especially to the construction industry. Designing small size homes is the best solution for saving areas while making them habitable. It is a challenge to create/build small houses for any designer, one question that arises is; How small can a designer build and design a home?

Rhino for beginners 1.0

Rhino for beginners 1.0, which will last the entire weekend, is a course on Rhinoceros 3D for beginners. It will cover basic 3D modeling terminology and tools. By the end of the workshop, students will have a good understanding of how to use the Rhino software to create their own 3D models. The workshop is?free for Digital Members. After subscribing for the Digital Membership, The workshop will be added to the “Courses” section in your account.?Click here to?subscribe!

Hindu Heritage Experience Centre inspired by nature and religious symbolism

The Hindu Heritage Experience (HHE) Centre develops an immersive experience in which spiritual teachings are transformed into an inspirational experiential journey. The masterplan, landscape, and buildings take you on this journey by using symbolic forms to elicit emotion through the senses of scent, sight, sound, and touch.

Inspired by Greek Goddess of the Earth, Gaia Tower by Mariana Cabugueira & Wilder World

Mariana Cabugueira in collaboration with Wilder World designed Gaia Tower. This Tower completes the third Island Chain part of the Trinity Islands Project. The Trinity Islands are a genesis project, part of the city of Wiami, a Web3 virtual city that Wilder World is currently building.
