In this 3D Printing Idea we are taking a look at Algorithmic Modeling Cakes by Dinara Kasko. Ukrainian pastry artist Dinara Kasko creates incredible-looking edible cakes that are inspired by geometry, architecture, sculpture, and technology. For a 2017 ‘ruby chocolate’ event in Shanghai, she made an 81 piece ruby chocolate cake using the Grasshopper graphical [...] More →

Installation Art #2
In this Installation art & Mechanism example we are taking a look at the Brixel Mirror from BREAKFAST. Brixel Mirror is a 18 foot wide by 6 foot-tall installation made up of 540 Brixels, black on one side and mirrored on the other. Brixel Mirror is the first installation built by BREAKFAST to utilize Brixels™. [...] More →
Biomimicry Architecture #2
In this biomimicry architecture project we are taking a look at the Eastgate Centre as an example for Biomimicry. The Eastgate Centre is a shopping center and office building located in Harare, Zimbabwe. Rather than using a traditional fuel-based air-conditioning system to regulate temperature within the building, the Eastgate Centre is designed to exploit more [...] More →
Architecture Projects #1
Of architectural and engineering significance is the main feature of the project's design, a 217-meter expanse of sweeping, curvilinear forms constructed of steel and 5,800 pivoting diamond-shaped glass panels. This Grid-Shell component affords the building an architecture comprised of an atmospheric-like veil that contains two hotel towers and a link bridge constructed as a monocoque [...] More →
3D Printing Ideas #1
In this 3D Printing Idea we are taking a look at the Maker's Muse project. They used Structure Synth to 3D Print incredibly detailed code driven patterns on Prusa i3 Mk2 3D Printer - It's tonnes of fun! More Info More →
Installation art #1
In this Installation art & Mechanism example we take a look at the Solstice , the Kinetic Clock .Created by London-based design studio Animaro, Solstice is a clock that turns the passing of time into a moving artwork. It gradually changes shape throughout the day, opening and closing like a flower. Solstice is the second [...] More →
Biomimicry Architecture #1
In this biomimicry architecture project we are taking a look at the ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2016-2017 as an example for Biomimicry. The team studied how the larvae spin silk "hammocks" that stretch between a leaves to develop key principles for long-span -fibrous construction.Mimicking with the moth's webs, the resulting pavilion features a bending-active substructure combined [...] More →
Kinetic #1
This Kinetic Architecture & Art Video will showcase some of the examples of Kinetic design in Art and Architecture. Albahar Tower, Kiefer Technic showroom, Arab world institute, Megafon Pavilion, South Korea Pavilion (Expo 2012), Media-tic Facade, Shanghai Theatre facade & Flare Facade are some of the examples of how kinetic design affect buildings.

Asinas Sculpture
Kinetic Art & Architecture : The elements consist of three straight line segments that are conjoined like a Z with 90 degree angles. Alternating them on the axle in a mirrored position makes the two helixes twist in opposite direction.
