Last week saw an expansion of pa|nyc and K&Co’s 3D printing capabilities, with the addition of a Prusa i3 MK3 3D printer to the our shared office. Above is an in process shot of the printing of the first print on the new machine – of a schematic model of an upcoming project.
Looking back through several years of work, and through different project typologies, a slight obsession with linework explorations is evident. We like lines, so it seems, and here are some of my favorites from the last 4 years or so.

Experiments in 360
As part of expanding the toolkit of design and communication tools, we recently embarked on another adventure with Liam Frederick, this time with immersive videos. Launching experiments in 360 time lapse videos, we positioned a camera in several locations in a recently completed Pliskin Architecture designed office space in Morrisville, North Carolina. The camera captured… Read more »

Model Shop is Open
To further our computational capabilities, we’ve added 3D Printing to our arsenal this month, to cap a year of growth and exploration. The Tinkerine Ditto Pro got its run last week, printing the massing model for the Mixed-Use High Rise in Flushing, Queens. Our hope is to employ rapid prototyping to our design process, further… Read more »

After a quick webex the other morning we were left with this beautiful drawing. We like to think its delightfully childish nature emphasizes the collaborative nature of the meeting, yet ultimately belies the seriousness we sometimes pretend to have.

Fun with Normals
Here’s a look at some of the fun we’ve been having misusing a few of the render channels you can get out of V-Ray. The render ID channel gives you unique colors for each discrete object, while the normals channel colors objects based on orientation. A bit of overlay photoshop blending, and you end up with… Read more »
Not all clients are created equal. Specifically when it comes to visualizing a design before it is built. Plans, sections and other architectural projections describe space in almost clinical terms. 2D renderings, as advanced as they can be, are always flat, and almost always exaggerated – they can be a simplified and optimistic expression of our… Read more »
