DAY 73: Engineering or Art?!

Escultor e artista, Theo Jansen constrói 'strandbeests' de tubo de plástico.As criaturas graciosas evoluem ao longo do tempo, Theo adapta os seus projetos para aproveitar o vento de forma mais eficiente. Estas criações são alimentadas apenas pelo vento e armazenam parte da energia do vento em garrafas de plástico para ser usada quando não há vento.

Kinetic sculptor and artist Theo Jansen builds 'strandbeests' from yellow plastic tubing that is readily available in his native Holland.
The graceful creatures evolve over time as Theo adapts their designs to harness the wind more efficiently. They are powered only by the wind and even store some of the wind's energy in plastic bottle 'stomachs' to be used when there is no wind.

DAY 70: Peter Zumthor's Bruder Klaus Building Process

Peter Zumthor dá grande importância à experimentação dos materiais, onde alia processos de construção arcaicos. Para esta capela ele usou uma estrutura de 112 troncos de árvore, fazendo uma “tenda” coberta por um corpo de betão. Depois manteve-se uma fogueira a arder durante três semanas no seu interior, o que permitiu soltar os troncos do betão deixando o seu odor e memória gravados na parede.

Peter Zumthor gives great importance to the testing of materials, which combines archaic construction processes. To this chapel he used a structure of 112 tree trunks, making a "tent" covered by a concrete body. Then maintained a fire burning on the inside for three weeks, allowing to release the logs from the concrete leaving their odor and memory stored in the wall.

DAY 69: How much does your building weigh, Mr.Foster?

The film traces the rise of one of the world's premier architects, Lord Norman Foster and his unending quest to improve the quality of life through design. Portrayed are Foster's origins and how his dreams and influences inspired the design of emblematic projects such as the largest building in the world Beijing Airport, the Reichstag, the Hearst Building in New York and works such as the tallest bridge ever in Millau France. In the very near future, the majority of mankind will abandon the countryside and live entirely in cities. Foster offers some striking solutions to the problems that this historic event will create.

"Our buildings have always been driven by a belief that the quality of our surroundings directly influences the quality of our lives, whether in the workplace, at home or in the public spaces that make up our cities. 

This emphasis on the social dimension is an acknowledgement that architecture is generated by people’s needs, both spiritual and material. Allied to this is a willingness to challenge accepted responses or solutions.
 

Looking back I can see that our practice has been inspired by the polarities of analysis and action. This means trying to ask the right questions, allied with an insatiable curiosity about how things work – whether they are organisations or mechanical systems. And it means never taking anything for granted, always trying to probe deeper. 

This is due in part to a fascination with inquiry, with going back to first principles to identify whether there is an opportunity to invent, or re-invent, a solution. "
