Urban Insect Hotel
Mathematically-inspired bug houses designed to promote urban biodiversity
by Karen Day in Design on 14 July 2010
Winning London's recent Beyond The Hive competition, the "Insect
Hotel" is a five-star refuge for bugs living in urban environments.
Architecture firm Arup Associates designed individual compartments in a
mathematically-derived pattern known as a Voronoi tessellation to house
an array of species spanning spiders, beetles and moths.Recently featured on Good, the competition was commissioned by real estate company British Land and the City of London with the goal of bringing biodiversity to cities and to celebrate the London Festival of Architecture.

Assemblage
Assemblage is an artistic process. In the visual arts, it consists of making three-dimensional or two-dimensional artistic compositions by putting together found objects. [1][2] In literature, assemblage refers to a text "built primarily and explicitly from existing texts in order to solve a writing or communication problem in a new context".[3] The origin of the artform dates to the cubist constructions of Pablo Picasso c. 1912-1914.[4] The origin of the word (in its artistic sense) can be traced back to the early 1950s, when Jean Dubuffet created a series of collages of butterfly wings, which he titled assemblages d'empreintes. However, both Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso had been working with found objects for many years prior to Dubuffet. They were not alone. Russian artist Vladimir Tatlin creates his "counter-reliefs" in the middle of 1910s. Alongside Tatlin, the earliest woman artist to try her hand at assemblage was Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, the Dada Baroness. In addition, one of the earliest and most prolific was Louise Nevelson, who began creating her sculptures from found pieces of wood in the late 1930s.
In 1961, the exhibition "The Art of Assemblage" was featured at the New York Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition showcased the work of early 20th-century European artists such as Braque, Dubuffet, Marcel Duchamp, Picasso, and Kurt Schwitters alongside Americans Man Ray, Joseph Cornell, Robert Mallary and Robert Rauschenberg, and also included less well known American West Coast assemblage artists such as George Herms, Bruce Conner and Edward Kienholz. William C Seitz, the curator of the exhibition, described assemblages as being made up of preformed natural or manufactured materials, objects, or fragments not intended as art materials.[5]

The large arched vault had its drawbacks. Bending stresses were very large. It would have required increased truss depth and structural members that would have been too heavy. Clearances for access and interior space would be compromised. This vaulted shape meant that some of the existing equipment would have to be modified or have to remain uncovered. Equipment modifications were undesirable as they would require plant downtime.
Custom Solution Required
The initial concept consisted of two smaller domes and a huge arched vault for the facility's largest area. Local suppliers were consulted, but the spans for the big area were simply too large and complex. As a result, the project architect, Percy Diaz, contacted Geometrica for a proposal. The Geometrica team traveled to the site and met with the plant operators.The large arched vault had its drawbacks. Bending stresses were very large.

futuro at Saint Ouen
In what is probably the definitive reference document on the history of
the Futuro House "Futuro - Tomorrow's House from Yesterday By Marko Home
and Mika Taanila" guest contributor Paul McNeil writes [page 123
refers] that with a promising looking future Futuro Homes NZ Ltd. had
plans to open a second factory on the North Island by 1977. There are no
further details but perhaps this plan involved Orbital Homes Ltd. [then
Thames Homes Ltd.].

a blog post dated 052306 The Tomahawk Kid provides some historical
information about the Futuro though still no indication of its current
whereabouts.
The Tomahawk Kid indicates that on a visit to Thames he tracked down the
original owner of the Thames Futuro [one of the original Futuro
franchise owners in New Zealand]. The Futuro had at some point been
traded to a man named Mike Peti. Apparently the trade included the
original moulds used during manufacture. In a subsequent sale the Futuro
[and presumably the moulds also] became the property of one Mike Zero,
owner of a [now defunct as far as I can establish] shop called "Hunters
and Collectors" in Auckland. Rumor has it that at some point Zero lost
everything he had, including the Futuro, because of a drug problem. The
Tomahawk Kid adds that the current owner of the Futuro lives in Auckland
but provides no further information.
In his post The Tomahawk Kid also writes that New Zealand Futuros were
manufactured in Christchurch by Orbital Homes Ltd. Opencorporates.com
indicates that this company was incorporated [as Thames Homes Ltd. see
Certificate of Incorporation here] in 1967 and dissolved in 2001. Over
the course of its life the company traded under the names Thames Homes
Ltd. [1967 to 1971], Peninsular Builders Ltd. [1971 to 1996] and finally
Orbital Homes Ltd. until it was dissolved.
Shareholders and directors of the company were Stewart Graham Harris of
Thames, New Zealand and Ashley Gavin Harris of Mission Viejo, CA, USA.
