Giuseppe Fallacara on Digital Stereotomy
Giuseppe Fallacara is an architect and full professor in architectural design at the Polytechnic University of Bari where he leads the New Fundamentals Research Group. He focuses his research on stereotomy, a construction technique based on stone that suffered from the 20th-century diffusion of concrete and steel. I interviewed him to understand more about this technique, which could play a central role in the sustainable development of our cities thanks to digital tools and parametric architecture.

The most ambitious project in the history of communication design
The Pioneer 10 is the first man-made object we sent outside our solar system. It holds the most ambitious visual communication project ever conceived by a human mind: a message to extraterrestrial life. The authors are Carl Sagan, Frank Drake and Linda Salzman, who carried out this incredible project just three weeks to go before launch. In this article, I explain the design problems and the decisions made by the authors to solve them.

The Book of Symbols: A Treasure of Inspiration for Designers and Architects
Unlocking the hidden language of symbols is akin to discovering a secret code that speaks to the very essence of our existence. For designers and architects who strive to create spaces and visuals that deeply resonate with people, understanding the power of symbolic imagery is essential. In this quest for creative enlightenment, one book stands out as a true treasure trove of inspiration: “The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images,” published by Taschen in 2010. Whether you are engaged in brand development or exploring the symbolic value in architectural design, this book serves as an invaluable resource.

Architecture and Cinema: A Collaboration between Archinerds and Filmsarchitecture
I’m happy to announce a new initiative that will enrich the Archinerds feed and, we hope, broaden your perspective on architecture. Throughout November, we’ll collaborate with Filmsarchitecture, a social media channel that has created an archive of architectural spaces featured on the big screen. Even if appearing only briefly, these spaces often become essential to unique visual and historical storytelling.
