Jason Mill of pivnice emailed me about his new project ZNO. He creates 3d models to plug into Google Earth. A couple I tried of the Burj al arab and world projects in Dubai are really fantastic work, so go have a look. If he wants an idea for a Finnish building to model how about Stephen Holl’s Kiasma in Helsinki? A couple of other things for thought, Sketch up was just bought by Google, and I wonder how Jason’s projects might integrate with projects like fab lab. I mean the ability to make site models for buildings and institutions to order around the world. The computer model could be fed to fablab to build a scale model in whatever material with a commission for the model visualiser. There may not be a huge need for this but certainly a specialised one.
