Announcements
Computing Kaizen @ Processing.org
The "Computing Kaizen" studio, conducted at the Columbia GSAPP Spring 2010, explored evolutionary architectural structures and their potential to anticipate change and internalize complex relationships. The studio used Processing, an open source platform for writing computational "sketches", to create intelligent building blocks that could self-organize into innovative forms. The studios work, included a series of interactive web toys, is featured on Processing.org's Exhibition Page.- Visit the Processing.org Exhibition Page

BuildingBeat @ NYC BigApps
BuildingBeat is a new app being developed by Proxy. It is apart of NYC BigApps competition. The goal of the competition is to "deliver information from the City of New York's NYC.gov Data Mine to interested users". BuildingBeat is designed for iPhone and is a social platform for urban development.- Visit the NYC BigApps competition page.
- Visit the BuildingBeat page to see interactive prototypes of the app in action.
iPhone
In parallel with its design activities, Proxy is developing software for the iPhone. Proxy believes that architects and designers can enrich their work and reach out to new audiences by utilizing new hardware and software platforms.- Visit the iPhone page to see Proxy's applications.
