Alex Haw Lecture - 110408 - RCA - Alternative Approaches - 222

The document discusses two famous English paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries that depict clouds and weather. John Constable's 1822 work "Cloud Study" shows billowing clouds in the sky. Joseph Mallord William Turner's 1844 painting "Rain, Steam and Speed" depicts a train passing through a rainy landscape. The document also includes concepts for inflatable cloud-like structures that could be inhabited, generate energy, or provide pedestrian walkways suspended above the ground. It suggests that projects involving clouds could engage many members of the public.

Auto Atmospheres and Artificial Ecologies: A lecture given at the ISEA Dortmund by Alex Haw about installations or pieces that generate different atmospheres and experiences once applied to the human body. The lecture continues to talk about how the projects at atmos studio challenge the experiences provided every day atmospheres.

Alex Haw

This document discusses various artworks related to clouds and atmospheres, including John Constable's 1822 painting "Cloud Study" and Joseph Mallord William Turner's 1844 painting "Rain, Steam and Speed". It also lists various cloud-related art installations and events hosted by Atmos Studio, including "Sensualscaping", "Floating Forest", and installations involving light such as "Lumiskin" and "Lightfall".

This document appears to be a presentation on cloud architecture and manufacturing. It includes sections on cloud studies in art, the history of construction from pyramids to modern stadiums, concepts for inflatable and inhabitable cloud structures, and a call for public participation in "cloudraising" projects through contributing pixels/pounds to a cloud structure design. The overall message seems to be presenting a vision for lifting humanity through collaborative cloud-based architecture that harnesses the power of the sky.

Atmos

This document contains notes from Alex Haw of Atmos Studio about various lighting installation and design projects. It includes project names like SeeCTV, Lighthive, Lightfall, and Sunlands. It also mentions concepts for future projects like Worldscape, Global Feast, Woven Nest, and Sensualscaping. The document provides brief descriptions and notes for different lighting designs and installations.

The document describes a proposed design for a large inflatable cloud-like structure that could be lifted into the sky. It would use a series of interconnected spheres filled with hot air and lined with photovoltaic cells. Walkways would connect the spheres, allowing people to inhabit and traverse the structure. The cloud aims to lift humanity through collaboration on a shared engineering challenge.

Alex Haw lecture-160901-The Building Centre-Adaptive Structures

Atmos

a 5-minute presentation for a panel discussion http://www.buildingcentre.co.uk/events/adaptive-structures-the-future-of-our-built-environment http://expedition.uk.com/thinking/a-new-design-philosophy-adaptive-structures/ "As part of the Adaptive Structures exhibition, this panel discussion will reflect the possibilities offered by the new engineering design paradigm of adaptive structures. Expert speakers will explore the meaning of adaptability from both experiential and environmental perspectives. Speakers include: - Mike Davies, founding partner of RSH+P - Stephen Fox, chief executive of BAM Nuttall Ltd - Alex Haw, director of Atmos Studio - Ed McCann, director of Expedition Engineering - John Prewer, architect and designer at Gamechanger Technologies - Gennaro Senatore, research associate at University College London - Jane Wernick, director of Jane Wernick Associates - Chair: Lewis Blackwell, executive director of strategy and development at The Built Environment Trust This event is free to attend but booking is essential. Background information Despite huge technological advancements all around, the way everyday building structures are designed has not changed fundamentally for over 100 years; design a structure to be strong, and then check to make sure it does not move around too much. Why should the built environment industry not rethink this basic assumption? Recent research and development led by Gennaro Senatore of University College London in collaboration with Expedition Engineering, has demonstrated that unlike conventional structures, adaptive structures can successfully change their shape to prevent excessive movement caused by loads, indicating that we could now achieve super-slender structures that use much less material, less whole-life energy and achieve very high levels of performance. But is this practical in the real world?"

Atmos

This document outlines several light art installations created by Atmos Studio including Lighthive which uses light to represent people, Lightfall which represents crowds of people with light, and The Cloud which represents data with light. It also lists other installations like Worldscape that represents populations with light, Arboreal Lightning that uses light as a gesture, and Mobile Orchard that represents rhythm with light. The document promotes Atmos Studio's work in using light-based art and design for cities.
