Howler Monkey

Music video for track by Meier & Erdmann put together by Victor Doval is a visual representation of the song as a spectograph in the form of a natural landscape, put together with the help of Blender and Processing:

The video shows a landscape created synchronously with the music. The generation of the visuals is based on the sound spectrum. The diverse frequency bands have been used to algorithmically define the visual parameters such as geometries, materials and lightings.   Through this sonic analysis and spectral decomposition each element and texture of the track has been visually processed. The whole sequence has been created in a procedural way where the definition of every part has been based on mathematical integrations. To manage all this data flow I worked with Processing and Blender. The Blender add-on Sverchok has been the cornerstone in the creation and transformation of the geometry.

The initial idea came from the understanding of  music as a temporal journey, a changing landscape that is perceived via the ears. The track Howler Monkey written and performed by Meier & Erdmann invites the listener to travel through the subjective/individual and the abstract. The harmonic evolution of the track is associated with a 24 hour time lapse experienced in 290 seconds. From sunrise to sunrise the video offers a dreamy trip that opens doors for contemplation and to emotions the track might evoke.

To celebrate the second anniversary of Light Processes I posted 24 different GIFs in 48 hours. I also did this video joining them all and adding a sound track generated from the pixels analysis of every frame. All coded in Processing. Thanks for feeling!

VULCAN : the biggest 3D printed structure in the world

Architecture tents to evolve in spurts and jumps not in a gradual development of design. For many the recents development in 3D printing represents one of those moments when technology serves as a trigger for a jump in the evolution of architecture.

Unveiled this week at  the 2015 Beijing Design Week: VULCAN consists of 1023 different 3D printing constructive units. This system is a complete breakaway from the traditional method of arch construction, and will be used in creating the core space of the Parkview Green at the Beijing Design Week. It will be the world’s biggest 3D printed architectural space to date (a piece of architecture by academic standard, which is to take up nearly 100 sqm, and can be taken apart or assembled at will).

Elaine Tong - Filtration Block

Filtration Block is a modular structural unit that performs as an indoor air filtration system to create healthier air as it absorbs common indoor air toxins such as fomaldehyde and benzene.

Instead of a mechanical filter, the module utilizes common indoor plants whose roots are highly efficient in absorbing an array of indoor chemicals. The structure is based on the Weaire Phelan geometry for maximum spatial flexibility. The modules lock together to form a structural wall or ceiling system. Each module is glazed for light exposure, and acts as a micro greenhouse. The plants are sustained by a water misting infrastructure that calibrates the delivery of water though the use of humidity sensors and atomizers.
