sorry
i’m mucking around with themes a lot at present, hopefully by the end of the weekend we’ll be able to present ourselves in a more appropriate way.
Poor
Breaking the usual tone of this blog with some pictures from the endeavor of Veronica and me to map out some extreme poverty in Bucharest.

What you can find is quite shocking – what good is scripting and programming for these people? This is a question i try [...]
4*HTL Plevnei
Latest school project: four star hotel in a not that nice area of Bucharest.
Does what it says on the tin.
What’s nice is that there are a lot of embedded parametrics inside: the canopy structural system, terrain modding (site), shape cracking of the canopy. Sometime ago there even was a def for controlling room sizes in [...]
Urban Developement Proposal
This project is a collaboration with Dragos Mila.
We parametrically explored possible future configurations for the study area (450ha large, at the intersection of two main planned road-infrastructure extensions) and tried to push for a solution that would maximize performance (density, height, shading, access to natural elements and connectivity) of the whole region while leaving ample [...]
Making you more curious
Winning entry for DuPont + igloo’s Changing the Face – Casa Poporului. Idea sparked off with Raresh Dragoiu of drr_____ fame.
Jury was composed of:
prof. arh. Dorin Stefan (DSBA)
arh. Bruno Andresoiu (igloomedia)
Anne-Line Citrene (DuPont France)
Gabi Rottes (DuPont Germany)
Some pictures from the exhibition, which can be seen at the University Underground Passage until the 7th of December [...]
4h metro
Recently we were allowed the use of computers at one of our one-day-long exams – so my school is finally living up to the attribute change in my about page – it used to be horrible, now it’s damp. A real improvement in life quality.
Here’s the outcome: judge it lightly since the overall design was [...]
LPSCN Implant
The assignment was loosely formulated so as to allow maximum freedom in identifying problems and needs in the Lipscani area and proposing an architectural (built) solution that would tackle the aforementioned points.
My vision concentrated on issues relating to the poor visibility/readability of the overall area (and the necessity of a landmark) and the lack of [...]
Grasshopper Boids/Agents
Call them what you will, but there’s been a huge hype about them some time ago.
Grasshopper’s scripting capabilites are now a huge super cool feature, especially if you’re coding in visual studio (c#) and then pasting the shit or making dlls. I did this some time ago when i suddenly realized that you can declare [...]

Parametric Design Workshop HTWK Leipzig
I have been (re)invited to teach at the upcoming Parametric Design Workshop that’s going to take place at the HTWK Leipzig.
The line-up includes:
Ioulietta Zindrou, Maite Bravo, Verena Volger, Luis Fraguada (of Barcelona/IAAC fame);
Yours truly Dimitrie (of Bucharest fame);
Henning Rambow, Patrik Bedarf (Leipzig crew);
I haven’t been that productive lately due to the many things happening all [...]
Rule Based Design Symposium TU Berlin
I’m on the speaker list at the Rule Based Design Symposium at the TU Berlin. Thank you Christophe for the invite!
(27.05.09) The Symposium takes place at 18:00 in the Geodätenstand 6 O.G. TU Berlin Hauptgebäude, Straße des 17. Juni 135, 10623 Berlin.
The Rule Based Design Symposium highlights contemporary academic and practice based research employing CAD, [...]
3d Voronoi in grasshopper
More as a scripting experiment, when i was mucking about trying to make the delaunay triangulation work in grasshopper i somehow found the wonderfully complex qhull library which i promptly set to push and pull to get it to work with grasshopper. As advised on their website, the best way to do it is to [...]
