Several versions of the playful learning interfaces that Francisco Moura Veiga and I develop at @ethz.ch are currently being used and tested by students in Design Studio Courses at Iscte Lisboa, EPFL and ZHdK, which is just supercool!

Forest background with font saying: Garden City «(...) the „collaborative moments" take place when a pair of friends are so open and trusting with one another that they can share their wildest, most tentatively held ideas. In these moments, new ideas seem to emerge from the dialogue without „belonging" to either of the pair, and afterward they may not be able to say who had the ideas first.» - Farrell, M. P. (2001)

meme with a wizard in the background and a text saying: so when a crow recognizes patterns, it‘s „intelligent“ and „really cool“ but when I do it I‘m delusional and at odds with what is considered standard methodology in mainstream historical linguistics.

Soooo who‘s coming to the vernissage of our group exhibition at Museum für Gestaltung??
It’s full of fun and/or interesting playable prototypes that bring the museum‘s design archive to life!

Museum Flyer for the Exhibition „Museum of the Future“ in Zurich from 29.8-1.2.26 „A chair that you are no longer allowed to sit on, or a marionette that hangs silently by its strings: Many objects are difficult to exhibit in a museum. Some are too large, others too delicate or must not be touched or moved for conservation reasons. Exhibiting objects always requires a balancing act between the two central tasks of a museum: preserving and communicating. But what possibilities do digital technologies offer for bringing objects to life? The exhibition explores the potential of digitalization and AI for the museum of tomorrow. 17 experiments transform the exhibition space into a laboratory of the future and enable the public to discover, among other things, the largest digital image ever created.“

‚How Forests Think’ by Eduardo Kohn greatly influenced my thinking this year and changed how I see and interact with animals, from ants in my backyard to cows in the alps.

OPEN CALL for the Territories of Play Magazine
#games #architecture #play #magazine
Big font that says “Open Call, Territories of Play Magazine” with a background of experimental architecture rendering Text on white saying: "The third issue of Territories of Play explores the realm of symbols in our contemporary world. Inspired by board games - where figures, patterns, and signs define roles and actions - we use this lens to examine how symbols shape our spatial reality. Symbols mediate the world and charge it with meaning. Contemporary experience is defined by a constant sensory overload, leading to an implosion of meaning. Italian philosopher Franco Berardi's concept of Semioblitz captures this phenom-enon: the modern world is saturated with symbols and information to the point where it distorts how we understand and navigate reality. How can we resist this commodification of symbols? How can we reclaim them to imagine alternative futures? If this is how reality takes shape, isn't everything a symbol? Or rather, what is not a symbol? We particularly welcome visual, but also written works that interpret and challenge the role of symbols in shaping our world. Submit abstract / sketch of idea until 14.02.2025 to kiann@ethz.ch"

Very often we look at Isovist fields from above on a flat building plan to get an overview of the sight-lines. Cool to see a 3D visualisation of one, as a real object.

‘To Take Hold of Space: Isovists and Isovist Fields’ by M. L. Benedikt:

Screenshot from a scientific paper on Isovist fields. Two pictures of the same object. The object is a 3D visualisation of an isovist field. Underneath the text: A Minkowski model of the isovists along a given path in a given environment [in this case, Michael Graves's Benacerraf house addition (Gandelsonas, 1972, page 75)].

a meme that shows two tables with each a person sitting on the table. Above the left table there‘s a sign that says „Going gentle into that good night“ and above the right table the sign says „Raging against the dying of the light“. On the left table there‘s a big queue of people waiting in front of it.
