I recently did a survey of an old pub, and saw this detail, although its a classic corbled detail, the brickwork under the old roof truss, is not really doing anything, it’s there for show, the beam if you look carefully, sits on the main exterior wall, which is actually new brickwork, if fact the complete barn is new, made to look old, more photos of the pub on my flickr account

remember my blog about 3D printing of a staircase to 1/4 inch scale with a Makerbot, well owenscenic has produced a little video of it actually working,. This is certainly worth checking, out. As he says its a little rought, but perhaps with time it will get up to presentation quality, but the best part is that its created with Vectorworks. Have a look at the other videos re making and testing the makerbot.

This  diploma thesis in architecture., of a project  located in Ningbo, China, a city with over 5.5 milion inhabitants. Because of its bioclimatic design (inspired by the work of dr. Ken Yeang), it consumes a minimum of energy and is very sustainable and cost efficient. The project is modelled and animated with 3ds max 2009. Also the music is composed by me, produced with Reason 4.0. Concept, design, modelling, animation, music, editing by me, Przemyslaw Duda.

That the official blurb from the youtube site, my view, nice animation, that shows of a really nice design, I like the interior and space, but the music,,,,,,, I turned that down and just watched for 5 mins, nice. The CPD could be any one of a number of avenues, I made notes on the design, could I produce working drawings from this, what questions should I be asking, services, comes to mind, waste disposal,frame design, sun orientation, shading, cooling effect of the central core, will this produce currents of moving air, ,,,, I go on,,, still nice film and I enjoyed watching it.

I don’t know whether I have a problem with this technology or not, do I want a wall that’s in essence a huge great television, The Sensacell system is a unique combination of energy efficient LED lighting technology and advanced touchless proximity sensors engineered for elegant integration with architecture. Sensacell’s compatibility with a broad range of architectural materials enables unlimited application possibilities; the sensors can detect persons and objects straight through surface materials allowing everyday surfaces to become dynamically interactive. I can see the benefits, and as the technology become more settled, woooo, tv playing in one corner, skype in the other and as I approach the wall it changes, ,,,, I am still looking at this but the technology is certainly interesting, worth any CPD, yes, this will not go away, it’s there, can we use it, probably, so learn all you can about it, I will, before I make a decision. Just how much energy does it take !and who controls the wall,,,,,,,  sustainable its not,,,,,,oh just watch.

Whilst browsing through some old books today, I came accross a book on European Architecture by an Architect called Frank Hoar, what a gem, it cost £3 and was printed in 1976, but its packed with readable explinations of all European Architecture, with some very good pen and ink sketch’s, plus photos Frank must have taken of the sites, I should have read enough by Sunday night to be in a position to give a more detailed review, but this is just a small comment to say, browse the old book stores, you never know what you will find.

I attended the Brum Be2camp event, recently and deeply regret not being able to attend the London show 7-8 October 2009, but a lot of the daily presentations are online at the Be2camp web site Have a wonder about, the site, the actual videos are often quite dark or grainy, but there all free and well worth viewing.

I have seen Jon Pickup use this several times since the release of Vectorworks 2010, and I think it’s realy useful trick to know, so I and very pleased that Jon has made another short video to show the offset tool working.

This blog is in support of Blog action day, 2009 and climate change, now this site is alway putting items up for climate change, and if you search for climate change you will see all items connected with this subject.

Perhaps the biggest item I can see embracing climate change is the smart grid and PV cell technology
