Urban Heart @ Toronto : An Evidence-Based Standard for Measuring the Well-Being of Toronto's Neighbourhoods

I came across this resource that ranks the health of Toronto neighbourhoods both graphically and using a matrix. Thought some of you might find it useful, see the pdf here: Urban Heart @ Toronto and more info here: Urban Heart @ Toronto (additional info)

CORNING GLASS VIDEO (DIGITAL APPLICATIONS)

Hey Guys, 

Just came across this video. It is pretty informative on the current status in electrochromic, projective, and touch screen glass. There is some direct correlation to classroom use as well.
 Enjoy !

TEXFAB | SKIN Competition

For those of you interested in responsive envelopes, digital fabrication, building skins as mediators, or anything else within that spectrum of architectural design, the winner of the TexFab | Skin design competition were announced. If you were aware of or attended the ACADIA 2013 conference at the UW Empire, you would have seen the full prototypes in person. If you were unable to attend, here are some samples:

Evaporative Skin - Jeanna Ripple


Cellular Complexity

Adaptive[skin] - research of kinetic envelope systems

I saw this research about kinetic envelopes and thought it would apply to many of us, and primarily to Ashley Biren. Check out the link below:
