FAUP – represents the faculty of architecture of the university of Oporto (my school), and let me just say that I find this project really cool. Every year we design a new one for our annual university event “Queima das Fitas” and let me tell you, it has really been improving over the years – if you could see the first ones!!! – the proof that experience makes the master.

Comment on What To Do With An Unfinished City In The Desert? by ticoteco

ticoteco — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:00:28 +0000

Cities have always been flexible, just look at how 17th century cities are able to support nowadays urban needs! And that is because 1. those cities were developed as flexible cities and 2.humans in general can adapt to almost any situation.
What we need today are architects and urban planners able to understand these concepts and lessons from the past interpreting them to todays reality insted of craving so desperately for iconic buildings detached from the reality around them.
Dubai (like so many recent urban developments) is not flexible because it grew upon great egos (now fallen ones) and egos always aim for superiority/overcoming, not equality/sharing.

Regarding CPH-AMS: Copenhagen (Mikael of CCC in particular) has been very effective in coining/marketing its bicycle city, that’s absolutely great, everyone will benefit. But this doesn’t change the actual facts. Just not going to bore you with statistics .

I think “This inevitably leads to uniformity in lifestyle” is a huge blanket statement made by someone who places excess value on “things” and forgets that stuff does not make a person or a lifestyle.

Objet Geometries has just announced an extension to its trade-in program. They’re offering up to $80,000 credit for an older Objet 3D printer as a trade-in when buying one of their Connex multi-material 3D printers or a newer Eden machine.
