This man-made archipelago is set to be constructed in Malaysia. Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) (#big #builds) is set to team up with Kuala Lumpur designer Hijjas Kasturi Associates to create the series of artificial islands in the Malacca strait. "BiodiverCity" will include 25 kilometres of new waterfront, 4.6 kilometres of beaches, and several villages that will be able to hold up to 16,000 residents. Divided into three sections, the first island will host a technology park, research institutions and a cultural hub. The second, dubbed “The Mangroves”, will be the project’s central island, arranged around a network of urban wetlands with a tower for meetings, conferences and events called the Bamboo Beacon. The final section, called “The Laguna”, will consist of eight smaller islands which will house the residents.

Allied Works’ winning proposal for Ohio Veterans Memorial and #Museum in Columbus / 2014. The project is conceived as an architecture of two acts. The first is an act of landscape, where the surrounding parkland is cut, carved and lifted into the sky, creating a processional path to the sanctuary, a place of ceremony, celebration and reflection - a civic room for the city of Columbus,” explains Allied Works.

“The second is an act of structure, where a series of concentric arches rise from the earth to hold the sanctuary above. These bands of interwoven concrete hold and protect the museum and its occupants within, creating a labyrinthine journey of exhibitions that illuminate ideas of service, duty and remembrance."

#3dprinted #architecture to see more of robotic 3d printed projects like the ITKE-ICD’s Research Pavilion which was built by robots in 2014 as part of a successful series of research pavilions.

The project showcases the potential of novel design, simulation and fabrication processes in architecture. The pavilion was planned and constructed within one and a half years by students and researchers within a multi-disciplinary team of biologists, paleontologists, architects and engineers.

The specific robotic fabrication process includes the winding of 6 individual layers of glass and carbon fibers. In total 36 individual elements were fabricated, whose geometries are based on structural principles abstracted from the beetle elytra. Each of them has an individual fiber layout which results in a material efficient load-bearing system.
