From descriptive geometry to smartgeometry: First steps towards digital architecture
No full textArchitect Mark Burry offers a personal account of his adventures in the world of applied architectural geometry- a journey that has gone from a solo experience to a shared experience. Since the first events/ he has been an extremely influential and inspirational part of the Smartgeometry (SG) community/ especially relating to his work completing Gaudlls unfinished masterpiece/ ti:1e Sagrada Familia Basilica/ using bespoke digital tools. Here he reflects on over two decades of engagement with what he regards as an elusive concept: emerging digital architecture. He discusses how his work has gone from descriptive geometry/ through computing and analysing geometry to a collective notion of 1Smarf geometry
The architectural detail and the fear of commitment
No full textMark Burry holds a unique position in architecture, straddling the worlds of practice and academia as Senior Architect to the Temple Sagrada Família in Barcelona and as Professor at RMIT in Melbourne, where he is Founding Director of the RMIT Design Research Institute. In his Counterpoint to this issue of AD, he puts the spotlight back on construction, asking whether the detail could be in danger of falling victim to an inadvertent and 'massive separation of design from making'. As he states: 'to detail effectively is to understand not only what the building "is", but how it will be made'
Webinar - Urban Futures: Designing the Digitalised City
No full textJoin Professor Mark Burry AO, guest editor for the May/June 2020 issue of the prestigious, Architectural Design (AD), titled ‘Urban Futures: Designing the Digitalised City’. The issue identifies visionaries who combine sociology, geography, logistics and systems theories with the challenges of mobility, sustainable materials, food, water and energy supply, and waste disposal to ensure a better urban experience. Professor Burry discusses his work on the issue with Professor Neil Spiller from publisher Wiley
Complex Architecture and Convergent Design
No full textComplex Architecture and Convergent Design. After breaking the design code for Gaudí's Sagrada Família Church in 1979, completing the still unfinished church has required Mark Burry to pioneer groundbreaking architectural and construction design methodologies and practices. His current work is on the computer modelling and dynamic simulation of complex design and construction problems, and methods for multi-disciplinary and distributed team collaboration. This work has high impact industry applications. At the intersection of so many fields of industrial research, Mark Burry's work acts as a catalyst and accelerator for technology transfer and innovation across the architectural, design and construction industries.$1,581,110Federation Fellowship
Models, prototypes and archetypes fresh dilemmas emerging from the 'file to factory' era'
No full text'File to factory', an appropriation from the aeronautical design industry that is used to describe the direct transfer of CAD file data to CNC manufacturing plant, has been taken by many in architectural design to imply consistency and speed. Gone are the wasteful and vulnerable channels that pass through consultants, contractor, specialist contractor, maker and supplier. Executive Architect and Researcher to the Temple Sagrada Família in Barcelona and Professor of Innovation at RMIT Melbourne, as well as visiting professor and director at a host of international universities and design and technology institutes, Mark Burry challenges this popular claim. He argues, if anything, the opposite is about to be true. Here, he articulates through his extraordinary work on Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Família spanning over 30 years, that digital fabrication has blurred definitions of the model and the prototype, and with it a lack of clarity about the role of the archetype has been initiated
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
