San Francisco based Ardica is the leading developer of miniaturized portable power systems, and we have developed some radical new technologies in Battery, Fuel Cell, and Hybrid power systems. Our latest introduction, the Moshi Power System, generates 40W of power from a lightweight, flexible and portable planar array of lithium ion batteries. This system can power and charge a wide variety of electronic devices while simultaneously delivering comforts like heat and sound to garments, bags and more! This contest aims to reach out to the best and the brightest in the fields of engineering, industrial design, art, architecture, fashion and beyond to develop new platforms with which the Ardica Moshi System will enable us to see, do, feel, and hear more under power and off the grid. This portable system offers a world of new opportunity to stay powered or charged longer. Ardica wants to see where you can go! What can Ardica enable YOU to do? Congratulations to Professor Alexis Gregory who had two paper proposals accepted to the 2009 Southeastern College Art Conference (SECAC) meeting in Mobile, Alabama, (October 21-24, 2009). The first paper proposal was accepted as part of the “Small Town, Big Design: Methods and Processes for Design Research” session and was entitled “Complexity In Situ: Architecture Studio Design in Smaller Cities and Towns.” The second paper proposal accepted was entitled “The Mausoleum: How Can Architecture Be Used to Help Deal with Death?” for the session “The Infinite Finite: Depictions of Death in Western Art”. Take a moment to relax and watch this incredible video of the world’s second largest aquarium tank. SCAD Department of Architecture Prof. Alexis Gregory has had two recent occasions to promote her research on women in the profession of architecture. Professor Gregory served as the moderator of a panel discussion at the 2009 AIA South Carolina Spring Meeting in Charleston, SC. The panel topic is “Overcoming Obstacles to Women’s Achievement in Architecture in South Carolina.” The panel was based on Professor Gregory’s current research on the attrition of women in the field of architecture. As well, Professor Gregory recently completed an article with a fellow Clemson University School of Architecture alumnus in the 2009 South Carolina AIA Magazine. The article is entitled “Architecture Looks to It’s Feminine Side” and was based, in part, on her Master of Science research at Clemson University. A friend of the department is having an exhibition of recent and revisited drawings and prints at Gallery Espresso. John Metcalf’s work will be on display from June 29th through July 29th. Go check out the work of this talented artist! WPA 2.0: an open design competition for working public architecture organized and sponsored by cityLAB cityLAB, an urban think tank at UCLA’s Department of Architecture and Urban Design, announces a call for entries to “WPA 2.0: Working Public Architecture.” WPA 2.0 is an open competition that seeks innovative, implementable proposals to place infrastructure at the heart of rebuilding our cities during this next era of metropolitan recovery. WPA 2.0 recalls the Depression-era Works Projects Administration (1935-43), which built public buildings, parks, bridges, and roads across the nation as an investment in the future—one that has, in turn, become a lasting legacy. We encourage projects that explore the value of infrastructure not only as an engineering endeavor, but as a robust design opportunity to strengthen communities and revitalize cities. Unlike the previous era, the next generation of such projects will require surgical integration into the existing urban fabric, and will work by intentionally linking systems of points, lines and landscapes; hybridizing economies with ecologies; and overlapping architecture with planning. This notion of infrastructural systems is intentionally broad, including but not limited to parks, schools, open space, vehicle storage, sewers, roads, transportation, storm water, waste, food systems, recreation, local economies, ‘green’ infrastructure, fire prevention, markets, landfills, energy-generating facilities, cemeteries, and smart utilities. Architecture For Humanity Atlanta is proud to announce its 1st Design Auction. This August, Studioplex will play host to an outdoor event celebrating activist design, and we are seeking your support by way of birdhouse design and construction. Your submissions will be part of a silent auction and all proceeds will benefit activist design programs developed by Architecture for Humanity’s Atlanta chapter. Please submit a sketch or description of proposed birdhouse indicating how your design will need to be displayed for the event. Designers will have three options for display: Please submit to Sarah Green at sarah.gre@gmail.com no later than July 25th so we can have a clear idea of how many hooks/ stands we will need to provide, as well as spatial arrangements for the event. Complete details can be found in this PDF:afhatl_artistscall-2 Art vs. Design An international Open Call for Unique Talent Images are power. In this dynamic era compelling design can move millions and transcendent art can inspire a generation. From cave paintings of early man to today’s industrial designers, art & design has uniquely shaped the world around us, each in its own distinct way. This contest is designed to answer the age old question: What shapes our world more, art or design? Join thousands of creative people in this visual dialogue. Mark Mothersbaugh, acclaimed artist and lead singer of art-rock band DEVO leads a panel of judges including Jarrett Gregory (curator at NYC’s New Museum) and Donwan Harrell (founder and creative director of Akademiks clothing) in selecting the top artist or designer to be featured at a gala reception at the New Museum in June. The public also plays judge - determining the most powerful medium of the moment - in an online face-off that pits art submissions against design submissions. Opportunities will be created for everyone who participates and we are awarding over $11,000 in prizes. Grand Prize & Student winner will be awarded with: $2009 cash grant $500 in gear from Akademiks Every participant gets: An online portfolio and international exposure Registration is open now and continues through Midnight May 31st. Art VS Design was put together by a handful of Brooklyn based artists and designers who have experienced first-hand the difficulties of achieving national attention. We believe both Art & Design hold a powerful place in our society and it is our intention to break-out new talent through a process that is dynamic and open-ended. eco-friendly mass custom concepts |
