On 21 Jan 2008 11:06 by proxy.mark Proxy is experimenting with algorithms to dynamically create rich programmatic maps for space-planning. The results of one such run: On 21 Jan 2008 10:54 by proxy.mark The Proxy.log is available for purchase. The log bundles experimental algorithms, work process, design sketches and academic research - the book is auto-generated, allowing us to show an unprecedented amount of info.

Here, a photo shows the panels in mid-installation. On 21 Jan 2008 10:40 by proxy.mark Proxy is collaborating with UrbanThinkTank (http://u-tt.com) to create a block wall system based within CNC fabrication and computational techniques that can respond to ventilation and light. |
