A strange journey into the history of Vector Graphics in gaming and architectural representation. Some commentary on the joys of CAD and the long-forgotten Vectrex gaming system. Serial Consign
so totally sweet. you've got to love the way things like this pinpoint the artisitc potential in technology. a breath of fresh air from the pressure to seek out the 'all new all the time'.
i suspect the BIM wave is going to leave a similar mark, but in a negative sense. buildings done w/o it are going to have a significantly different feel - one that might actually be billed as a premium in the future.
anyone wanna bail from the technology train w/ me?
I'm with you johnszot! There is nowhere better to look than the technological deadpool if you are searching for truth in technology. I'm turning into a strange nostalgic creature who is obsessed with never-got-off-the-ground gaming systems and archaic prototypes like the Memex.
I am somewhat excited about BIM, I'd like to see something on the parametric front that actually empowers us through usability. I know the potential is there, but based off my (limited) noodling.. those tools are still too esoteric. Oddly enough, after studying with one of the North American fabrication/modeling hotshots I am now in love with sketchup. Maybe I should rediscover milboard next...
