François Roche lecture at the AA London: Ecosophical Apparatus and Skizoïd Machines
29 April 2010
Machines are always pretending to do more than they were programmed to do. It’s their nature. The blur between what they are supposed to do, as perfect alienated and domesticated creatures, and the anthropomorphic psychology we intentionally project on to them, creates a spectrum of potentiality, both interpretative and productive.

R&Sie(n) was founded in 1989 by François Roche and Stéphanie Lavaux. Their architectural work is simultaneously organic, biological and critical. It seeks to articulate the real and/or fictional, geographic situations and narrative structures that can transform them.
See www.new-territories.com/blog/architecturedeshumeurs/ and www.new-territories.com.
Many of François Roche projects were done in Grasshopper and with the help of the Rhino SDK.

As part of an Architectural Association lecture/event series organized by Marco Poletto, Simply Rhino UK brings together the following software developers:
Orca3D has released two new plugins, Orca3D Offset Table and a RhinoMarine translator. Both are now available as free downloads.
Orca3D Offset Table is for people that do not own Orca3D, but would like to be able to create a table of offsets that open in Excel.
The RhinoMarine to Orca3D Translator is for those who have models that contain data that is specific to RhinoMarine, such as sections, weight/cost items, and other settings. This translator will batch convert many files at one time into a format compatible with Orca3D.
This intensive week-long course, Parametric 3D Modeling with Grasshopper, is for designers, architects, engineers, professionals, students and teachers who are interested in exploring new forms, 3D modeling systems and construction. The course will also introduce participants to CNC milling.
