Mies van der Rohe Barcelona pavilion in Unity project


Made a scale model in 3D MAX based on the 109 cm grid pavilion layout. Recearch of the fundaciĆ³ Mies van der Rohe plans made the 109 cm grid most likely grid to use instead of the 5th scheme 110 cm grid.

The conclusions of this study are as follows: 1) Although grid lines were not drawn in the early schemes, it is strongly thought that the grid system was used. 2) The grid lines which equally divide 12m, the inside measurement of the east-and-west wall of the pavilion change as follows: in the first scheme there are nine grids at intervals of 1.333m, in the second there are twelve at intervals of lm, in the third and fourth are eleven girds at intervals of 1.09m, and in the fifth at intervals of 1.1m. 3) Most of the positioning of the walls and the glass screens have been based a grid system, but some have been based on their specific size(12m and 7m, for instance). 4) It is thought that the fourth scheme drawn with an even grid system was preferred by Mies. However, an irregular grid system was used, partially to correspond to the site in the fifth scheme. (author abst.)

Barcelona Pavilion statue

Modelled the statue for the Mies van der Rohe Barcelona Pavilion.

The statue of a woman is a bronze replica of a piece created by Georg Kolbe. It is known by a number of names, the most common used is 'Alba' or 'Dawn'.

nice live music by ENGRAMA

and the winner photo by Corcosman:

spent light

Louis Kahn is transfixed by light: “The sun never knew how great it was until it struck the side of a building.”
To Kahn not only is light the principal descriptor of architecture, but all matter (the material of architecture itself) is spent light

E = mc2

(E2 = m2 * c4 + p2 * c2)
where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum. The formula is dimensionally consistent and does not depend on any specific system of measurement units. For example, in many systems of natural units, the speed (scalar) of light is set equal to 1, and the formula becomes the identity E = m; hence the term "mass–energy equivalence".[2] The equation E = mc2 indicates that energy always exhibits relativistic mass in whatever form the energy takes.[3]

Big Bang
According to the most recent measurements and observations, this original state existed approximately 13.7 billion years ago,[2][3] which is considered the age of the Universe and the time the Big Bang occurred.[4][5] After its initial expansion from a singularity, the Universe cooled sufficiently to allow energy to be converted into various subatomic particles. It would take thousands of years for some of these particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) to combine and form atoms, the building blocks of matter.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang

Little Boy
Approximately 600 to 860 milligrams of matter in the bomb was converted into the active energy of heat and radiation (see mass-energy equivalence for detail). It exploded with an energy between 13 and 18 kilotons of TNT (54 and 75 TJ) (estimates vary).

Virtual Insanity

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein

Friday 21 October 2011

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once

Albert Einstein ( /ĖˆĆ¦lbərt ĖˆaÉŖnstaÉŖn/; German: [Ėˆalbɐt ĖˆaÉŖnŹƒtaÉŖn] ( listen); 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics.[2][3] While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation")[4], he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".[5] The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory within physics.
