Snøhetta has unveiled a sensitive redesign for the Refuge de Barroude, set in the Cirque de Barroude within the UNESCO-listed Pyrenees. After an accidental fire a decade ago, this beloved hikers’ refuge will be reborn in 2025, offering a sustainable stop along the Haute Route des Pyrénées and supporting National Park staff.🌱 Guided by “Terrier” for warmth and “Cairn” as a landmark, Snøhetta’s design integrates seamlessly with the mountainous landscape. Crafted from stone, recycled wood, and aluminum, the structure’s planted roof and dual orientation encourage natural ventilation while blending with the topography. The compact layout minimizes environmental impact, with prefabrication reducing the need for extensive on-site work and heavy equipment. The refuge will provide dormitories, communal areas, and private staff quarters designed to foster a close connection to the surrounding landscape and mountain heritage. #parametricarchitecture #parametricdesign #modernarchitecture #landmark

Fantastic work by laura civetti, instructor of the upcoming workshop ”Adaptive Fashion: Procedural Design with Bio-Materials” on November 2 – 3, 2024. Register Now: Tap the 🔗 link: https://lnkd.in/eK8jyxMU This workshop explores design methodologies that connect the information around us, understood as data, and the physical world, understood as materials. With the “Adaptive Fashion: Procedural Design with Bio-Materials” workshop, the choice of bio-materials is placed at the center of the design process. Participants will be able to generate complex geometries, from which it will be possible to extract useful information to select the most appropriate materials. This integrated approach aims to create a relationship between design and materials, making the product more functional in its mechanical properties and more sustainable in its end-of-life. The proposed methodology will be applied to creating and visualizing a second skin for the human body. 📑 Topic: Adaptive Fashion: Procedural Design with Bio-Materials 📅 Date: October 26 – 27, 2024 🕕 Time: 14:00 – 18:00 GMT ⚒️ Software: Midjourney, Grasshopper 3D, Rhinoceros 3D, Blender 🧑🏼🎓 Total Seats: 50 seats 🛒 15% Discount for Digital Members #artificialintelligence #midjourney #parametricdesign #computationaldesign #architecturestudents #formgeneration #grasshopper #rhino #blender

We’re thrilled to announce our new workshop, “Advanced Grasshopper 2.0” which will be led by the architect Amir Hossein (@amir.h.fakhrghasemi), on December 7 - 8, 2024. Register Now: Tap the 🔗 link: https://lnkd.in/e-anim6H This workshop will comprehensively explore several modeling methods in Grasshopper. First, we will go through the data structure in Grasshopper as it is the fundamental need for our next steps. Then, we will explore using mathematical operations and equations in Grasshopper. At this stage, we will practice modeling foldable surfaces and structures as they are well-related to mathematic operations. Physics and force simulation is the next part of this workshop, in which examples of tensile and minimal surfaces will be provided. Mesh-based modeling plugins and strategies will be covered to design complex geometries and morphing surface patterns. The other part of our workshop will focus on the voxel-based model and its integration. Students will work individually on their projects. 📑 Topic: Advanced Grasshopper 2.0 📅 Date: December 7 - 8, 2024 🕕 Time: 14:00 – 18:00 GMT ⚒️ Software: Rhinoceros 3D, Grasshopper 3D, Ladybug, Weaverbird, Kangaroo, Dendro, Pufferfish, LunchBox 🧑🏼🎓 Total Seats: 50 seats 🛒 15% Discount for Digital Members. #artificialintelligence #parametricdesign #computationaldesign #architecturestudents #formgeneration #rhino3d

💢Îlot Balmoral, Montreal, Canada, 2020 – designed by Provencher Roy, is a bold architectural statement in Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles. Its bright red facade and dramatic diagonal atrium split the 100,000 - 300,000 sqft building into two volumes, enhancing light flow and creating a sense of openness. Full-height glass facades and a ceramic glass atrium optimize natural light, while advanced energy systems work towards LEED® Canada-NC Gold certification. This vibrant, eco-conscious design reflects the cultural energy of its surroundings, with ultra-clear glass curtain walls and open pathways inviting community interaction and seamless pedestrian access at street level. 📸 Stéphane Brügger Photographe 🌟Would you visit this building? #parametricarchitecture #parametric #parametricdesign #computationaldesign #facadedesign
