Creative Industries Conference 2010
May 8, 2010world’s first sustainable city
August 29, 2009The winning design by the international practice Laboratory for Visionary Architecture (LAVA) for the city centre for Masdar in the UAE – will be amazingly, the world’s first “zero carbon”, “zero waste” city powered entirely by renewable energy sources!
Masdar is a planned city located 17 kilometres from Abu Dhabi. a government initiative, and the city is being constructed over seven phases due to be completed by 2016, not that far ahead aye… I would love to visit!
So, yes, this city center will ofcourse include a Plaza, a Five-Star hotel, a long stay hotel, a Convention Centre and an Entertainment Complex as well as retail facilities! Ok, now I am really convinced to visit maybe by 2017…

Wicked Design concepts
August 9, 2009Conix Archtects (architect), Jan Hoet Jr. (scenographer) , JNC International (landscape architect), 3E (energy consultant), and CJI (Chinese contractor), all in collaboration with JV Realys (Asos Group) have won the competition to design the Belgian Pavillion for Shanghai Expo 2010.
It is interesting that the “structure of the “Brain Cell” was the chosen dominant conceptual image for the building, evoking the artistic richness of Belgium and Europe, as well as all its scientific achievements. The brain cell also refers to the role of Belgium as one of Europe’s main gathering centers and cross points. In contrast to the playful, organic and intriguing form of the brain cell, the exterior of the building refers to the pragmatism and the discretion typical of Belgium.“

How do you feel?
August 4, 2009Orlagh O’Brien wanted to investigate how people feel emotions. His research project asks how people feel anger, sadness, love and such? A survey was developed. The results of which compared and combined to reveal visual patterns of feelings.
Can people describe their visceral feelings of emotion visually, and if so, would any patterns arise? In order to answer this, I had to develop some way of asking people to reflect on and describe their private feelings in a simple, repeatable manner, the results of which could be correlated visually and demographically.
By gathering concepts of feeling by word, colour and line and creating visual languages for anger, joy, fear, sadness and love – a kind of democratic visual language is created – a backwards-brand.
Visit his site to learn more about his process, methods, gathering and processing. Very interesting. But the visualization created here holds the most interest for me… It seems to involve complexity theory; the emerging patterns and colors that can be visualized in a art-like form.
