Articles Summary
In this blog we tell of the trajectory of research and exploration that we are carrying out between architecture, design and virtual reality.
This page collects all the articles we published, divided by subjects. A great starting point to get an overview of the project.
THE OSAKA EXPERIENCE
Read these articles if you have never heard of the architect Sacripanti. If you know him and want to better understand how the Osaka pavilion is made. If you want to discover how a kinetic architecture works. IF YOU ARE A RHINO/GH MODELING NERD AND WANT TO SEE HOW WE MADE AND OPTIMIZED THE MODEL FOR VR.
