It is contoured to allow
football athletes to
maintain their drive
position longer and more
efficiently, helping them
accelerate faster through
the critical first 10 yards of

and patience into a project.
This is something that
disappeared in art in the
20th century. You still have
luxury products — people
are happy to buy a Ferrari
and admire the extra time
put into the product — but in
the art world it hasn’t been
about the extra time
anymore.”

“In 2001 I began
to turn my body
into data…like
recording my
physiological
information.”

18. “Initially, I wanted to avoid any type
of intentional composition. Of
course, that’s impossible—
somehow you find a way to make
choices. Even if an item is just
dumped in there arbitrarily, it
becomes a gesture and
immediately looks like I intended a
certain effect. I’m interested in that
line: Where does control end and
accident begin? Working this way,
I never know exactly what I’m
getting until the end. I love that
there’s always an element of
chance.”

22. Jürgen Mayer seems to be…
•Laid back, skeptical about his work and interested in future ideas for
architecture
•He’s very peaceful, and calm (not stressed about every little thing)
•Open minded, and not obsessive about his work…and he’s not
solipsistic (narcissistic).
•He’s got his mind set on the future as well as the present success of the
Metropol Parasol.
•Cares about new things: improvements in technology, and
SUSATAINABILITY.
• how well something survives and doesn’t pollute
the environment.
• Things that are sustainable: wind power, solar
power, huMANNN power.

23. Jürgen Mayer seems to be…
•Calm and humble (not crazy dumb proud of his work)
•Very detail oriented….meticulous…and fastidious.
•Not full of himself (not solipsistic )
•He is innovative because: he considers the future of
his work. And his architecture is an investment in the
future….an optimistic and HOPEFUL future.
•Considers the public opinion before making a
decision.
•Proud of his work, but not crazy dumb proud.
•Doesn’t use traditional building techniques…(very few
nails…but a whole lotta glue!)
•His innovative use of materials makes the structure
ALL THE MORE INTERESTING!

Since the 19th century, an open market was located in this plaza, housed
in a market building. The building was partially torn down in 1948
according to plans for urban renewal. But market itself remained until 1973,
when the rest of the dilapidated building was finally torn down. The land
remained dormant until 1990, when the city decided to construct
underground parking with space for a market on top.
However, in the midst of construction, ruins dating to Roman and
Andalusian eras were discovered, and construction was frozen after an
expenditure of 14 million euros. In 2004 the city decided to attempt to
develop the area again, and opened an international competition to solicit
bids.

28. Why would people choose to come here?
What’s the function of this place?
What’s the equivalent of this in New York City?
What about other cities?

43. The story
This groundbreaking flexible “fabric”
printed straight from a computer was
the result of countless hours between
Mr. Schmidt and the highly expert
talents of architect Francis Bitonti.
“Francis was able to take my sketches
for the dress, which I created
specifically for Dita, and render those
in the specialized language of the
software,” says Mr. Schmidt. “The
fluidity of the joints is all 3D-printed,
layer upon layer of fine powdered
nylon within the preheated chamber,
based on information by the CAD file.
The laser ‘sinters’ the nylon into form,
a process known as select laser
sintering, or SLS. It’s an articulated
fabric built into the 3D print itself. It’s
something that’s never been done.
What Francis and Shapeways have
achieved here is truly remarkable.”

44. Vocab: Laser Sintering
 This is an additive method for
3D manufacturing where
lasers melt a powdered
ceramic material together into
a solid strucutre.
 Sometimes called SLS
(selective laser sintering) since
it can pinpoint selective areas
to create intensely detailed
objects.

This is the world’s first fully
functional vehicle to be 3D-
printed in one piece. At 25
½ lbs, the lightweight form
was inspired by the
structure of 3D printed lower
jawbone implants. Apart
from the pinion, wheels,
chain, and some screws,
the object was created
completely in the
printer….including the
steering wheel and throttle.
Made of 3,600 layers of
ABS plastic, it took ten days
to complete. It is motorized
by a cordless power drill.

51. The Aerion was made in
2012, this car took three
weeks to print from start to
finish. Once done, the
remaining pieces (wheels,
engine, etc.) were
assembled. In addition to
using 3D printing
technology to be made, it
also runs on a fully electric
drive train, and is made of
bio-composite materials.
The car can accelerate
from zero to 100 km/hour
in just four seconds, and
can maintain a top speed
of 141 km/hour on the race
track.
