Canberra Bushfire Compensation Hearing

Robert — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 05:43:08 +0000

In 2003 the Canberra community was devastated by bushfires. Four people died, 470 homes were destroyed, and 2000 businesses, homes and vehicles were damaged. The insurable loss and subsequent repair bill was more than $450 million. The hearing is to determine whether ACT or NSW authorities, or both, are liable for damages from fires ignited by lightning in early January 2003. If the parties are successful the future compensation bill is estimated to be more than $75 million. Currently this case is adjourned until April 2011.

Architectural Images were commissioned to produce a physical scale model for the Act Supreme Court as an exhibit. This large model (2080mm x 2080mm) was machined from a 3D computer model by a 3-axis CNC controlled milling machine. This process produced highly accurate complex landform with a tolerance level of 0.1mm.

Traces - The Road as a Canvas

This exhibition by Bert Bongers presents the results of a number of explorations of Traces. There are traces of peoples behaviours such as the skid marks of car tires, or traces of the hidden infrastructure of the urban environment as made visible by workers painting on the pavements. “My research and design approach generally focuses on making the invisible visible, demystifying, re-balancing the artificial and the natural environments, and making technology less sinister. The pieces in this exhibition demonstrate this approach in various ways, and invites the viewer to open up their senses and discover the non-obvious in our surroundings” says Mr Bongers.

Shadow Diagrams

Architectural Images — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 05:11:14 +0000

Councils are increasingly requiring that shadow diagrams be prepared for DA applications. They are of particular significance wherever contention exists over the amount of overshadowing a development may impose upon an existing property.

Manually constructed diagrams using calculations, tables, charts and transparent overlays are near redundant as many CAD softwares now have tools for plotting and constructing diagrams. At Architectural Images, we generate shadow diagrams using a sophisticated technique based on accurate real world data, at the heart of which is a 3D CAD model of both the proposed site and its surrounding buildings.

Using this 3D CAD model technique, shadows can be produced for any time of the day or year, in any location across Australia or around the world. Landform and landscaping can be represented and technical data such as site longitude, latitude, sun altitude and azimuth specified. This method is highly accurate and accepted by the Land and Environment Court.

The best student work of the 2009 Higher School Certificate in Design and Technology as selected by the Powerhouse museum, are currently on show at the Sydney space.

“This year’s exhibition showcases a diverse range of innovative and exciting projects. The high level of talent from young design students in New South Wales is remarkable” said Erika Dicker, Curator of Product Design at the Powerhouse Museum.

Creative but functional designs were favoured by the students, who came up with a folding kayak which converts to a shelter, a floating feeder for orphaned whale calves and an already award-winning electronic signalling system for motor bike riders.

Architects & artists fill Frank Lloyd Wright’s void

Architectural Images — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 05:02:40 +0000

To celebrate 50 years of the Guggenheim museum, Nancy Spector, chief curator of the New York art institution, invited scores of architects and artists to envisage a way to fill the atrium’s void. When Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Guggenheim building, the vacuous space aimed to provoke inspiration from exhibitors and challenge artists with its empty “spatial canvas”.

Over the past 50 years, the space has elicited a plethora of innovative responses, which have been manifested in both site-specific solo shows and unique exhibition designs. Leaving behind the restrictions of practicality and realism, 200 creatives were asked to conjure up a proposal to fill the central void.

The exhibition “Contemplating the Void” features these ideal projects as renderings, from both emerging and world-renowned artists including Anish Kapoor, designers like Fernando and Humberto Campana and architects such as Álvaro Siza Vieira Arquitecto and BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group).

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum from February 12 to April 28, 2010.

Illuminating Exhibition unveiled at the MCA

Architectural Images — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 05:01:29 +0000

For the first time on Australian soil, the works of Olafur Eliasson are unveiled at the Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art.

His multi-sensory works, which call on the audience to be active participants, feature lights, mirrors and built structures as well as integrating natural elements like water and moss.

Audience participation in Eliasson’s works reaches a climax in the “The cubic structural project”, a piece in which the viewer is invited to build their own structures from 300kgs of white Lego pieces set on a large table. Playing with light, smell, colour and water, take time to visit Eliasson’s work, as it proves to be a unique sensory experience.

City Models

Architectural Images — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 04:04:16 +0000

Many local councils are creating ‘city models’ for the purposes of planning and development. Development applicants may now be required to supply a 3D CAD model of thier proposed development, which is inserted into the council’s existing base seed file containing models of existing buildings and landform. The 3D CAD models can be visually assessed in relation to thier surrounding context, and thier compliance with legislation and policy varified.

Council 3D CAD models must be accurately based on 2D CAD and survey data and specifically formatted to suite individual council requirements. They must be optimised in terms of model detail and stripped of extraneous information such as material finishes, colours, text, dimensions, hatch, area fill, and lighting. Some of our examples can be found at:

www.archimages.com.au/portfolio/council-da/3d-computer-models/

Technologies and techniques used by Architectural Images during the Development Application stages of a project can be very cost effective. Once a 3D CAD model is created, it can be used as a basis to generate photomontage images, shadow analysis, or to create a physical scale model using innovative rapid prototyping techniques such as stereolithography (SLA).
