sgArticles: Scale Matters more than Matter

New article by Salmaan Craig argues that behaviour of materials depend more on scale than on substance. He delves into the history of material development to argue that the subtle ‘bottom-up’ growth is the real future, rather than blunt ‘top-down’ fabrication in engineering.

 

 

 
sg2012 Challenge
Material Intensities

sg2012 Material Intensities strives to energise our digital prototypes and infuse them with material behaviour. They gain the potential to become rich simulations informed by the material dynamics, chemical composition, energy flows, force fields and environmental conditions that feed back into the design process.
sg2012 Troy

Smartgeometry is pleased to announce that sg2012 will be at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, in upstate New York from 19-24 March 2012.

The sg2012 Workshop and Conference will be a gathering of the global community of innovators and pioneers in the fields of architecture, engineering, and design.
