This video shows the production of a topographic site model for a design project I'm working on. A 3D model was created in AutoCAD, then broken down into layers and cut one at a time using a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) router. The whole process took about a full day, including file preparation and gluing / spraypainting the finished cut.</p><p>Sorry about the lack of voiceover. I edited this video in a crowded computer lab and wasn't able to record anything good. In its place, enjoy the music.</p><p>Song: 'Double Chocolate Mocha Espresso Latte Frappacino' by Orb Gettarr</p><p>http://www.opsound.org/artist/orbgettarr/ </p> 377 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/221753900 2008-06-17 11:17:20 -0400 some videos to not Tilting timelapse video of the construction of the new MIT building E14 - the Media Lab extension.

This is the story of the class. 504 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/221605940 2009-05-13 19:14:45 -0400 MIT Museum The MIT Museum presents MIT Professor John Ochsendorf in a Lunch with a Luminary event, part of the 2009 Cambridge Science Festival. Prof. Ochsendorf, Associate Professor of Building Technology in the MIT School of Architecture, discusses his life, work, and current interests in this conversation with MIT Museum Director John Durant and the Festival audience. 3731 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/221586020 2009-06-27 17:01:12 -0400 Center for Advanced Visual Studies Acconci Studio founder Vito Acconci is one of the most important figures in art and architecture working today. From his days as a poet in the mid-’60s to the groundbreaking performance works of the ’70s to the founding of Acconci Studio in 1988 to help realize architecture and public-space projects, Acconci has pushed from one discipline to the next while always thinking about language and the boundaries of the body. The method of Acconci Studio is on the one hand to make a new space by turning an old one inside-out and upside-down; and on the other hand to insert within a site a capsule that grows out of itself and spreads into a landscape. They treat architecture as an occasion for activity; they make spaces fluid, changeable, portable. They have recently completed a person-made island in Graz, a plaza in Memphis, a gallery in NY, a clothing store in Tokyo; they are currently working on a building façade in Milan, a park on a street median in Vienna, and a skate park in San Juan. A survey show, Vito Hannibal Acconci Studio, is traveling now through Europe. 7591
