SIGRADI workshop: Bio-Parametric 3D Printed Lamps - Barcelona

For all SIGRADI 2024 conference participants, the organization is including a free workshop at the the McNeel Europe office:

3D Printing Bio-Parametric Lamps
11-12 Barcelona 2024

Participants will explore the intricacies of enhancing collaborative design processes by integrating light and pattern analysis into the initial design stages. 

The workshop leverages the power of generative design to create lamp designs that reflect the performance of nature through bio-parametric design. Our primary objective is to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills to foster a collaborative work environment using Rhino and Grasshopper.

Methodology: The workshop will strongly emphasize effective teamwork, enabling participants to work simultaneously on 3D sketch models, facilitated by the seamless integration of 3D printing models using Grasshopper parameters. We will explore the associative exploration of complex geometries and morphological iterations, designing with the lights and shadows of the final projects.

Expected Results: This is a 100% practical workshop. By the end, participants will have created physical, customized, and parameterized lamps that reflect the performance of nature using advanced 3D printing methods. Additionally, participants will be able to generate a variety of lamp "families" with distinct yet related designs, demonstrating the flexibility and power of bio-parametric design in real-world applications.

"Never So Far Away: Chapter 3" - Concept Art Book By Luigi Memola

"I began using Rhinoceros about 15 years ago, and it quickly became an integral part of my daily work as a designer. Whether it's for professional projects or during my free time, I rely on this powerful tool to bring the creations of my imagination to life.

Rhinoceros allows me to achieve an extraordinary level of precision, quality, and detail, making it the perfect software for a wide range of designs. From futuristic spaceships and rugged trucks to sleek catamarans and cutting-edge race cars, I've used Rhinoceros to craft vehicles and objects that inhabit a visionary yet believable future. Every line, surface, and contour in these designs is carefully considered, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible both in the real world and in my imagined universe.

Never So Far Away: Chapter 3 is the culmination of years of work, passion, and creativity. In this concept art book, you'll find a selection of my most ambitious designs, all presented with high-quality visuals that showcase both the technical complexity and imaginative vision behind each project. This chapter focuses on a universe where advanced technology meets the human drive for exploration, speed, and innovation, reflecting the essence of what I aim to convey as a designer.

With a foreword by the legendary Lorin Wood and special support from the incredible Christian Grajewski, this is a must-have for all sci-fi and digital art enthusiasts!

I’m excited to finally share these creations with you and invite you to explore the worlds and vehicles I’ve built—where the future feels just within reach, yet never so far away." 

Luigi Memola

SIGraDi 2024 - Biodigital intelligent systems (Barcelona)

SIGraDi 2024 - Biodigital intelligent systems

UIC Barcelona, 13-15 November

SIGraDi 2024's main theme is the application of biodigital intelligent systems in the world of architecture design and art, from research, teaching, and professional practice perspectives.

Biodigital intelligent systems refer to a confluence of principles from biology, digital technology, and artificial intelligence (AI) to create intelligent systems inspired by living organisms through a systemic approach. This field encompasses a wide range of interdisciplinary areas, including bio-inspired robotics, artificial life, evolutionary algorithms, computational neuroscience, and more. They often draw inspiration from biological structures, processes, and mechanisms, highlighting the power of biological systems and natural intelligence to create advanced and innovative technologies to adapt, learn, and solve complex problems. 

By emulating the principles and mechanisms observed in living organisms, these systems can exhibit remarkable capabilities such as self-organization, self-repair, robustness, and adaptability. Examples include bio-inspired robots to navigate challenging terrains, swarm robotics systems inspired by the collective behavior of social insects, neural networks based on the brain, and evolutionary algorithms to optimize complex tasks by mimicking natural selection and genetic variation. Finally, Biodigital Intelligent Systems are changing our world and pushing it towards a Biodigital future.
