AR Project won the AHSS grant
Collaborate with the College of Medicine, my project “Magic School bus for Computational Cell” won the grant funded by the 2017 AHSS and Integrated Research Advancement program at UC. The project will apply Augmented Reality technology into medical research and education. Cheers. check more
This inspiring and thought-provoking book explores how recent innovations in landscape architecture have uniquely positioned the practice to address complex issues and technologies that affect our built environment. The changing and expanding nature of “landscape” make it more important than ever for landscape architects to seek innovation as a critical component in the forward development of a contemporary profession that merges expansive ideas and applications.
The editors bring together leading contributors who are experts in new and pioneering approaches and technologies within the fields of academic and professional landscape architecture. The chapters explore digital technology, design processes and theoretical queries that shape the contemporary practice of landscape architecture. Topics covered include:
Digital design
Fabrication and prototyping
Emerging technology
Visualization of data
System theory

Ming Tang and Mara Marcu coordinated the gallery exhibition at SOFA Expo Chicago. ( Sculpture Object and Functional Art and Design). The exhibition featured works from faculty and students from the School of Art, School of Architecture & Interior Design. Exhibition Hall. Navy Pier, Chicago. Nov2-6. 2016.
Students: SAID 2013. Communication Skills. Fall semester 2016.
The installation has three components. Smaller artifacts expand on the notion of architectural structure and collectively create a catalog of “misbehaved” tectonics. Larger ceramic and polypropylene prototypes speculate on the role of architectural pleats and on the metamorphosis of two-dimensional material to three-dimensional form. Several hologram digital models created onsite obsess over the possibility of endless variation through human interaction, the natural versus the artificial, and the “the everything-else” that lies in between.
Screen capture of animated sculpture with MS Hololens ( Augmented Reality). We are not able to capture the video during SOFA exhibition. here is a test demon captured in my office to illustrate the animated forms. Thanks, Mike Gasaway to set up the animation.
