Design Network for Art, Architecture & Technology

d-NAT is a network of creative people exploring new intersecting territories of Art, Design, and Technology. Based in Shanghai, Sydney and Dubai, it is a research-based network founded by some of the most forward thinking minds. Our work and research investigate the symbiotic relationship between nature and technology to bridge the gap between aesthetic and performance. By fusing the frontiers of art, design, nature, and digital technology, we aspire to redefine the conventional boundaries of design and space of the twenty-first century. find us on :: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Pinterest | Issuu

Morning Bytes .... “Nature provides the complexity, we only need to add the contradiction …. And adding a few “drops” of mystery, a “pinch” of the enigmatic and/ or symbolic, a bit of surreality, always being careful not to “overdo it”, which would mean a loss of the necessary “freshness” and grace architecture and design must evoke”.

Dear friends and followers ... As you may have noticed, we have changed the name of the network from d-NAT to U-NAT. After 6 years since its inception in Dubai, it is time to expand and to reach out to other territories around the world. In addition to Dubai, we now have presence in Shanghai and Suzhou region, in Sydney, and in Baghdad. And for that we decide to change the name of the network from Dubai Network to United Network for Art, Architecture and Technology. Stay tuned for our upcoming events and workshops ... you can always drop us an email to: [email protected]. We thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you, or to collaborate with you, on an exciting opportunity in the future. Best Regards; Team U-NAT. www.u-nat.net #unatnet #computationaldesign #algorithmicdesign #parametricdesign #digitalfabrication #parametricdubai #parametricshanghai #digitaldesign #morphogenesis #Biomimicry #digitalnetwork https://www.instagram.com/p/By1ZxdqJPPA/?igshid=g5a7rjaf2svd

Applying machine learning to building design, Daniel Davis, WeWork

Daniel Davis offers a glimpse into the world at WeWork, and how his team is rethinking workplace design with the help of machine learning tools.

Daniel Davis joins us from New York, but he hails from New Zealand, so don’t dare call him an Aussie!

Davis has a PhD in architecture and has spent the better part of the past 4.5 years researching and applying advanced technologies in building design and planning—from the use of sensors to reality capture to artificial intelligence.

Harnessing urban wind power: innovative building-integrated technology

A collaboration between the Cluster for Sustainable Cities of the Faculty of Creative & Cultural Industries at the University of Portsmouth and the Southampton-based company MA Systems and Control Ltd is exploring the potential for innovative building-integrated urban wind power technology.

This Emerging Technologies Innovate UK funded research project, “Wind ASSURE”, is a collaboration between industry and the University that will allow the business partner to ensure public acceptance and optimum urban integration of the new technology. The technology is an alternative to the conventional wind turbine and can use low wind speeds. The innovation is expected to outperform big turbines at much lower wind speeds which are frequently found in urban areas.
