World Architecture Day

World Architecture Day is held on October 1 each year. This year 2012 is organised by the International Union of Architects (UIA) in partnership with World Architecture News (WAN). Many industry leaders participated to celebrate, discuss and debate architecture around the world from all over the world.

The theme of this years World Architecture Day is 'Architects Are City Changers'. It brings the focus back to the challenges and possibilities inherent in future urban planning strategies.

On the day, a number of issues relevant to the modern world were discussed, like population density, the importance of collaboation and sustainability, sustainable cities in the near future and so on.

"World Architecture Day provides an unparalleled opportunity for leaders across the industry to connect, exchange ideas, share best practice and drive innovation," Michael Hammond says. "The event won't be in London next year, so this is the perfect chance for the architectural community to come together and start envisaging the future of our cities across the world."

Winners of Venice Biennale

The emphasis of the 2012 Biennale is on what we have in common. In architecture everything begins with the ground.

Congratulations. The Venice Biennale Winners are announced. The Venice Biennale exhibition is arguably one of the world's greatest architectural platforms, bringing together great minds to offer up thought-provoking pavilion developments to create a global architectural think tank while giving insight into the technologies, ideologies and practices of architects around the world.Guided by David Chipperfield's theme of Common Ground, architectural firms and design teams from around the world focused on developing initiatives that celebrate the global architecture community and the rich culture that community creates and inspires.

The Australian Pavilion for the event took the theme and expanded upon it, emphasising not only what connects the architecture industry, but also what makes each country's architecture scene unique.

An Australian team headed by Anthony Burke and Gerard Reinmuth, in collaboration with TOKO Concept Design, presented this year's pavilion, 'Formations: New Practices in Australian Architecture'. According to the Australian Institute of Architects, the pavilion theme aimed to 'explore concepts that unite the architectural profession whilst celebrating points of difference'.

While the pavilion did not take home an award at the exhibition, it has been celebrated publicly for its interpretation of both the overall theme and its way of highlighting the Australian architecture sector.

Japanese architects Kumiko Inui, Sou Fujimoto, Akihisa Hirata and photographer Naoya Hatakeyama took home the top honours, winning Golden Lion for best National Presentation for their pavilion titled 'Architecture possible here? Home-for-All'.Centering on a theme of post-Tsunami Japan rehabilitation and redevelopment, the design team was applauded for its sensitivity and focus on the human element that is such a pivotal part of the architecture industry.

Other major award-winning teams included Urban–Think Tank with members Alfredo Brillembourg, Hubert Klumpne and Justin McGuirk being awarded the Golden Lion for Best Project of the Common Ground Exhibition, and Grafton Architects, who were awarded the Silver Lion. Special mentions went to projects from Poland, the USA, Russia and architect Cino Zucchi.

May architects and designers design more and more impressive works and bring us a colorful world. We also hope that we can create architectural visualization, 3d rendering, architectural rendering for their design.

Architecture Design Theory Trainning

Regular trainnings are usually held in our company, reffering to architecture design, management, architectural rendering and architectural visualization sharing, CG knowledge and so on. This afternoon, we had a trainning about Architecture Design Theory which includes Contemporary Architecture, Modernist Design Theory and Post-modernism. We had deeper understanding about architecture design through the lesson.

Announcement From Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design

A major retrospective exhibition UNFINISHED BUSINESS – 25 Years of Discourse in Los Angeles was announced by the Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design. Which runs from July 13th through August 26th, 2012 at the WUHO Gallery in Los Angeles. Unfinished Business doesn’t come to any fixed conclusion, but opens up a rich and potentially provocative dialogue.The Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design has been at the center of the city’s architectural discourse since 1987. Through each decade – the scrappy 1980s, the experimental 1990s, and the booming 2000s – the Forum has vigorously interrogated the culture of architecture and urban design in Los Angeles. Although geographically positioned on the far edge of the continent, the organization nonetheless impacts the discipline at large: Forum events and programming routinely introduce emerging talent; issues of contemporary design are captured in its exhibitions; and its publications and competitions speculate on urbanism and often challenge the conventions of what architecture means in L.A. The retrospective Unfinished Business unpacks the organization’s archive, revisiting a history of commentary and debate. In looking backward, the exhibition finds within the Forum’s history the architectural questions, urban design conversation starters, and critical loose ends that are just as relevant now as they were over the past quarter century.

Computer Graphics

CG field is a vast field. CG is computer graphics, including two dimensional, three dimensional, pixel art, vector graphics and much more. 

3D computer graphics in contrast to 2D computer graphics are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images. Such images may be for later display or for real-time viewing.

3D computer graphics are often referred to as 3D models. Apart from the rendered graphic, the model is contained within the graphical data file. However, there are differences. A 3D model is the mathematical representation of any three-dimensional object. A model is not technically a graphic until it is visually displayed. Due to 3D printing, 3D models are not confined to virtual space. A model can be displayed visually as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering, or used in non-graphical computer simulations and calculations. 

Frontop is a top CG company, specialized in 3d architectural rendering, architectural visualization and architectural animation. We aim to create much more superb 3d renderings for architects, designers...
