The Architecture of the Dragonfly Wing in London, UK by Maria MingallonSaturday, April 13th, 2013Article source: Maria Mingallon An optimal natural construction, built by a complex patterning process, developed through evolution as a response to force flows and material organization. Being the dragonfly wing a highly dynamic structure, vibration studies were necessary to obtain realistic deformation patterns and thus, understand its structural behaviour. Ten vibration modes were extracted from the modal analysis performed in GSA. Our eyes have difficulties distinguishing the third, fourth and fifth vibration modes (which occur almost simultaneously), due to the high frequencies exhibited. In our case, slow motion pictures featuring the real flight of the dragonfly, allowed us to identify up to the third mode of vibration by comparison with that calculated in the analysis.

Unravelling Geometry in London by Simone de Gale ArchitectsTuesday, April 2nd, 2013Article source: Simone de Gale Architects This project demonstrated the transition of space over a period of 30 years within the area of London Fields to Liverpool Street from a disused rough and un-inhabitable area into a well defined architectural establishment. Fine plaster formed a conceptual arch representing the adhoc and then planned architectural proposals; an unwound timber section represented time. Entwining the two brought the concept together.
