But I Digress...

2012-05-12T13:36:00-04:00

As a student of architecture, academic studies often yield digressions that cannot be examined fully in a scholastic environment. This weblog will serve as an outlet for abstract curiosities in architecture and its related fields. Though the individual entries are not sequential in their discourse, they all occupy a miasma of deeper inquisitions raised by learning in the superficiality of a media-centric world.

City of Glass

2012-04-22T14:45:00-04:00

Vancouver, the City of Glass. It’s a city of shinning skyscrapers and cardboard homes: a city of spectacular natural beauty, crushing rain, award winning livability and a frightening income gap. It’s a city of contradiction—and it’s growing. This blog will follow Vancouver through its coming of age. It will highlight the city’s search for new forms, its attempts at new urbanism, and its struggles and moments of success within the world of architecture, planning and design.

In the end, using computers for design, or any purpose for that matter, involves dealing with databases. Databases take care of the memory part of intelligence. Custom programming, on the other hand, takes care of the processing and discrimination part of intelligence. The goal of this blog is to encourage Building Behavior Simulation (BBS) using CAD, BIM, 3D, Relational databases and Artificial Intelligence to solve AEC related problems and challenges.
