Lost in Translation(findX.exe)- Work in Progress Report


Lost in Translation (findX.exe) is an interactive game that explores language, as a way of seeing. It pays homage to early text based adventure games, from the 1970s (onset of home computing) by situating a physical robot within its world, an embodied version of the player themselves. The objective is to find something hidden, the nature of which is unknown. The robot provides limited textual and visual feedback to the player, as extractions of its environment. While incomplete, they allow the player to use their imagination and weave a physical world through the descriptive power of language.

    The robot sends visual information to Runway ML, a software that allows you to train and use pre-existing machine learning models, that can be run on remote systems. We are using three of these models to read the environment that the robot is situated in. The models help us read the objects, textures, materials and spaces in the environment, based off of the visual information collected on site.

    Geo-Matrix Towers Span Across Oceans To Connect The Planet

    Resim
    Editors’ Choice 2020 Skyscraper Competition Ruwan Fernando Australia Ever since the Apollo mission showed us the first images of our ‘pale blue dot’ from space, the idea of the world as a ‘whole’ has captured the people’s imagination. Going beyond borders, oceans, and thinking of the continents as a continuous entity comes from this vision. Fifty years later, we face the existential threat of ecological disaster, and maybe revisiting the whole earth project seems like a way of recapturing that drive. This proposal looks at a network of towers that span across the oceans connecting the planet in a matrix that provides energy cleans the oceans and gives new chances for life to thrive. Fusion, Solar, and Hydro-power are used in this matrix with all of these being in high abundance in the ocean. The towers are also self-sufficient and mine minerals from the water as well as farm to support their communities. Research and manufacturing also feature heavily. The connections of the g

    Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont
