[c]space in Barcelona

Alvin and Alan will both be in Barcelona Friday 11 April 2008 to present the pavilion as part of the SIMAE conference on emerging architecture. Discussions will focus on "proposals based on methodologies such as “thinking while experimenting”, which bring us back to the Deleuzian concept of “thinking as doing”."

[c]space in Berlin

Alan will be in Berlin giving a presentation about the pavilion on Wednesday 9 April 2008 for the 3D Modelling Symposium at the University of Arts Berlin. There will be lectures, case studies, and master classes where top-class national and international experts will demonstrate solutions for contemporary architecture and construction demands, as well as modern design via 3D-modelling.

Here are some great shots of the pavilion by super talented photographer Philippe Brysse. check out his flickr page to see some of his other amazing photos...

night visions

despite the fact that we still havn't received clearance to here's a few of the beautiful night shots posted by Suryansh on the DRL blog of the completed pavilion illuminated with just a small sample of the full spectrum of hues available through our Philips ColorKinetics lighting package...

pavilion open!

The pavilion opening last night was a fantastic success. A sincere thank you to all those involved for making it happen. Many of the team are taking a well deserved holiday next week but we will post some more images over the next few days as they come in.

There will be a 'post op' presentation and round table discussion in the AA on the 18 April attended by the design team, sponsors, manufactures and assembly teams, which will examine the issues raised during the design and construction process and how they can be related to current architectural practice. All are welcome to attend.

as usual....

the clock is ticking...

here are some night shots of late night preparations and testing of the Philips LED lamps....lighting design has been graciously provided by Desmond O' Donovan of DHA Designs. Philips has generously lent us the hardware including a Color Kinetics iPlayer3 lighting controller and 6 ColorBlast12 LED units.

T minus 24h 10m 32sec....

the scaffolding is down, the books are printed, the invitations have been sent, and the audience is waiting...

yet with the opening exactly a day away....it looks like we're almost there....BUT we've had some last minute issues pop-up to sort out on-site. MAJOR anxiety right now...so keep your fingers crossed...the team is hustling trying to make things happen.

and don't forget to wish us luck....we need it.

in the meantime here's some eye candy to keep you occupied...

Project Data Sheet updated...

As we're gearing up for tomorrow night's opening...we've also updated the project data sheet. Check it out for more detailed info on the project.

Construction Day31

Alkis sent over a photo of Yusuke putting some final touches to the roof.

Construction Day 29

Almost complete. All of the primary profiles have been installed, most of the cross profiles are also in and the floor installation has begun.
