City Engine | Pascal Mueller

City Engine | Pascal Mueller | 2009 CityEngine – Zürich – Radial#2 CityEngine – Zürich – Western#1 CityEngine – Spiralcity “The CityEngine is a software for the creative and efficient creation of digital architecture. Modeling a city poses a number of problems to computer graphics. Every urban area has a transportation network that follows population and environmental influences, and often a superimposed pattern plan. The buildings appearances follow historical, aesthetic and statutory rules. To create a virtual city, a roadmap has to […]

Restaurant at Xochimilco | Felix Candela
by bg-martin
Restaurant at Xochimilco | Felix Candela | 1958 The intersecting hyperparabaloids of Felix Candela’s restaurant at Xochimilco, Mexico City. You can see from the diagram how the structure is formed from the ‘saddle’ shape of the ‘hypars.’ The ‘hypar’ structure means the seemingly complex curves can all be constructed using straight lines, as the diagram above also helps to demonstrate. Candela’s ingenuity here means the visible ‘free edges’ of the concrete shell are as thin as just forty millimetres. Félix […]

Here & There: A Horizontal Project of Manhattan | BERG
by bg-martin
Here & There: A Horizontal Project of Manhattan | BERG Map looking downtown from 3rd and 35th. These horizonless maps of Manhattan are made by BERG, a design company based in London. “As the model bends from sideways to top-down in a smooth join, more distant parts of the city are revealed in plan view. The projection connects the viewer’s local environment to remote destinations normally out of sight.”
