Architecture
Ok so i not trying to be a rep for this company or anything, but i definately thought this was pretty sweet. The name
of the site is www.adrive.com and you can get 50 gigs of storage on line for free. I like it a lot and its pretty helpful,
so i figured i would spread the word. enjoy.
So i know we have a few sketch-up fans out there on CR, and i found this which seems like it could be cool, but i haven tried it. This plugin allows you to place the 3D Model over live video from your webcam, and move it around as you can see on the above video. The plugin calculates the planes on the live footage thanks to a sheet you need to print out, which allows the software to calculate the distance and inclination. i not the biggest sketch up user, but give it a shot and see if its worth a damn or not. you can get a free trial at

So this was a pretty cool video, it seems simple enough but is very effective, just try to ignore the music. i hate that damn song!
Anyways, enjoy
In a previous article, I touched on ORDOS 100 briefly. Here is the main concept behind the project:
"The
scope of the project is to Develop 100 hundred villas in Ordos, Inner
Mongolia, China, for the Client, Jiang Yuan Water Engineering Ltd. FAKE
Design, Ai Wei Wei studio in Beijing, has developed the masterplan for
the 100 parcels of land and will curate the project, while Herzog and
de Meuron have selected the 100 architects to participate. The
collection of 100 Architects hail from 27 countries around the globe.
The project has been divided into 2 phases. The first phase is the
development of 28 parcels while the second phase will develop the
remaining 72. Each architect is responsible for a 1000 square meter
Villa."
I went for a hunt, trying to find as many released
projects as possible.Unfortunately, you will have to search for the
individual architect or firm since the ORDOS website isn't up to date
with the projects being released.
Here are some of the projects I was able to find, along with a link to its respective architect.
