Pike Loop at Storefront for Art and Architecture
Oct 27, 2009
Installation Inauguration: October 27, 7pm
Location: Pike Street between Division Street and East Broadway (map) Digital Materiality exhibition at Storefront: On show until November 14
In September 2009, Storefront for Art and Architecture will inaugurate an exhibition of the work of Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler, Architecture and Digital Fabrication, ETH Zurich and, in conjunction with NYC Department of Transportation’s Urban Art Program, Storefront will present the first architecture project to be digitally fabricated on site, at 1:1 scale, in the US.
Developed through their research at ETH Zürich Faculty of Architecture, Gramazio & Kohler's work explores highly complex architectural artifacts, built by industrial robots typically used to assemble automobiles and perform other high-precision tasks. The accuracy, strength and speed of these robots allow them to fabricate architectural forms of unprecedented complexity and intricacy.
Gramazio & Kohler's work represents the cutting edge of innovation in the field of digital fabrication in architecture. For many years architects have relied on digital manufacturing processes such as CNC milling or 3D printing as a tool for formal research at model-scale. For the first time, Gramazio & Kohler’s work explores the potential of mobile digital fabrication techniques that can fabricate at 1:1 scale on site.

WORKac to Speak at Graham Foundation
Oct 22, 2009
WORKac shapes ideas - inspired by difference and applying research, programmatic expansion and a surrealist's eye to translate concepts into new forms and experiences. We engage the world - with unprejudiced curiosity - to find within experience the grounds for meaningful practice. We embrace humor as a critical tool, allowing us to enter complex conditions with precision and insight. Our work strives to make 1 plus 1 equal 3, strategically shuffling given contexts, conditions and programs to reveal narratives and carve added public value. WORKac is an urban practice, for now is the time to re-address the city at all scales, building transdisciplinary networks of philosophers, scientists, artists, farmers? to better confront structures of power, create alternative universes and produce work that resonates with the contemporary condition.
