Episode 06 of the PA Talks series on ‘Paradoxicality of Context’ with Alireza Taghaboni, founder of Next Office, includes an innovative take on the role of architecture in Iran today. Born in Tehran, Iran in 1977, Architect and lecturer Alireza Taghaboni commenced his university studies in 1995 at ‘Gilan University’, in the field of Architecture. Upon receiving his master’s degree in Architecture, he began the Ph.D. program at ‘Azad University of Science and Research of Tehran’ and graduated in 2007.

Today, we think of 3D printing as an advanced technology capable of producing wonders. With close relations, in some cases, to parametric designs, it can produce everything from articles of clothing to major urban structures. Naturally, this is in part due to the emergence of startups across various categories of 3D design, which is what we’ll be looking at in this piece. But first, how did we get from the early days of modern 3D printing to the point at which it occupies its own growing subset of startup culture? In those early days, the thinking, by and large, was…
Bartlett RC4 – INT Chair; A Robotic Assembly of Bricks by the Architecture Students at the Bartlett School of Architecture. INT Chair aims to introduce complexity in prefabrication. The team looks into robotic assembly of robotic bricks while also addressing the relation between users and robots. Through implementing feedback in the robotic assembly process, human interaction is incorporated. The design process becomes truly indeterminate and plays out in physical space, allowing for variegating degrees of customisation and order. On the architectural scale, the project establishes a meaningful relation between degrees of order, fabrication method and human interaction. INT addresses a…

The Sweden-based architect Jesper Wallgren has created algorithms by Finch3d to design adaptive building plans. Wallgren has a long history of teaching parametric design both in academia and industry. Finch is a tool for Architects to leverage their designs in the early phases of a project. Right now it’s under development and will be launched as a plug-in to Rhino/Grasshopper during 2020. Finch is a tool that will automate repetitive tasks and guide architects through the design process by helping them to make more informed decisions using simulations and AI. By doing this, architects will be able to spend more time…

Antony Gibbon Unveils His Twisted Sculpture-like Concrete House Aligned Through the Landscape ‘Twine’ is a twisted sculpture-like concrete house designed by Mexican architect and designer Antony Gibbon. The architect unveiled his project by sharing seven images on his Instagram account. The building’s new concrete structure is envisioned as a new residential typology that pushes the conventional boundaries of architecture. Made of a series of twisting spans of concrete, the house undoubtedly becomes a part of the landscape since it doesn’t create a sense of feeling of a house from far away. Large undulating surfaces continue throughout the landscape and create…
God’s Eye Team’s Winning Design for Sukkahville Pavilion 2013 Sukkahville is a design competition that is now being running for a couple of years to raise awareness on the issue of homeless people. The 2013 Sukkahville 2013 invited students, architects, designers artists, builders and design professionals to submit their design proposals for the third annual Sukkahville Design Competition. The participants were called to re-imagine the traditional Sukkah, a temporary structure, constructed for the holiday of Sukkot. The competition was organised by Kehilla foundation, a non-profit organization funding affordable housing and was aiming to raise awareness on the issue of homeless…
