How a Radical New Teaching Method Could Unleash a Generation of Geniuses

This is a pretty interesting article about some radical new teaching methods that are being investigated in places like India and Mexico. It is not architecturally specific, but I think it could prove relevant for a lot of people in the class working with ideas of the digital in architecture. Hope it's useful !

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:

I just stumbled on it myself and found that it is a very good resource for pertinent journals/articles related to responsive architecture, media, digital design, etc. It is pretty much encompassing of the 'digital'. Take a look:
