After several months of development, Chameleon Gets Parametric!

Watch the video here.

My buddy Michael McCune from CASE has posted a review of Chameleon on his blog, Collective BIM. Read it here: http://collectivebim.com/grasshopper-revit-interoperability-chameleon/

Beyond BIM Basics is a three-hour panel & workshop event on advanced topics related to BIM interoperability. Hosted by AIA DC and organized by Hiroshi Jacobs, the event will feature two individuals who are at the leading edge of the use of technology in design and construction: Jennifer Downey, Manager of Support Services at Turner Construction and Zach Downey, former Director of Applied Technology at SHoP Architects and partner at Parabox.

Together we will discuss moving beyond the use of BIM for documentation, towards more value added purposes. This comes with 3 LU’s and the link with more information and registration is here: http://aiadc.com/calendar/event/beyond-bim-basics

This event is for all experience levels, from project managers to interns/students. It will be about the what, why AND the how of moving beyond BIM basics. The event will be held from 2-5pm on Saturday, April 6.

In conjunction with their latest installation, Vector Cloud, Hiroshi Jacobs & Casey Hughes gave an informal artist talk at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Luce Foundation Center.

Vector Cloud was featured on WAMU (88.5 American University Radio / NPR) in this mornings Art Beat segment. It’s also listed on their website, check it out here! http://wamu.org/programs/art_beat/13/03/13/art_beat_with_lauren_landau_march_13

Cultural DC has posted a Q&A with Hiroshi on their website, in anticipation of the upcoming show!

On March 15th, Hiroshi Jacobs and Casey Hughes will open a show at CulturalDC’s Flashpoint Gallery. Vector Cloud, a large site-specific installation will create a sense of oscillation between two and three-dimensional space as it unfolds through the length of the main gallery space.

Hiroshi recently gave a lecture on his work with “Indeterminate Systems” at the University of Hawaii’s School of Architecture.

I am excited to be a part of the spring lecture series at the University of Hawaii. SCOPE is meant to highlight designers working at the fringes of architecture.

This coming Spring semester, Catholic University’s School of Architecture and Planning is hosting a special introductory course in computational design, taught by Hiroshi Jacobs. The course will introduce the ideas and possibilities of computational design via a hands-on approach. Through lectures, tutorials and physical prototypes, the course will review the technical skills required to design using parametric methodologies, as well as engage with contemporary discourse on the changing nature of digital design.
