Surface Patterns in Architecture Driven by Image Sampling and Robotic Fabrication
Design and artwork driven by image sampling processing has a half-century tradition in contemporary art and computer graphics. In the past two decades, a similar approach has been used for the fabrication of abstract surface patterns for building facades. Recent advances in digital manufacturing based on industrial robots have reignited the interest toward developing new design-to-fabrication techniques which can possess intriguing visual and tectonic properties of the facades, based on image sampling processing and abstract image representation. The aim of the paper is to investigate the different strategies for creating surface patterns, based on image sampling and applying industrial robots as fabrication tools. In this paper, three different robotic fabrication strategies for generating surface patterns driven by image sampling are presented.

Conference Report for the Advances in Architectural Geometry (AAG) 2014
Advances in Architectural Geometry (AAG) is a conference where both theoretical and practical work linked to new geometrical developments is presented. The conference aims to gather the diverse components of the contemporary architectural tendencies that push the building envelope towards free form and respond to the multiple current design challenges. It involves architects, engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and contractors. This conference report summarizes the recently concluded AAG 2014 held in London.

The best writing on mathematics 2011
This anthology brings together the year's finest mathematics writing from around the world. Featuring promising new voices alongside some of the foremost names in the field, The Best Writing on Mathematics 2011 makes available to a wide audience many articles not easily found anywhere else--and you don't need to be a mathematician to enjoy them. These writings offer surprising insights into the nature, meaning, and practice of mathematics today. They delve into the history, philosophy, teaching, and everyday occurrences of math, and take readers behind the scenes of today's hottest mathematical debates. Here Ian Hacking discusses the salient features that distinguish mathematics from other disciplines of the mind; Doris Schattschneider identifies some of the mathematical inspirations of M. C. Escher's art; Jordan Ellenberg describes compressed sensing, a mathematical field that is reshaping the way people use large sets of data; Erica Klarreich reports on the use of algorithms in the job market for doctors; and much, much more.
