AI and humour, Why is it funny??

Can AI have a sense of humor and understand an absurd situation, translating it graphically? This is the test conducted here, with some surprising results. While humor may not have been fully grasped, the AI’s attempts at responding have been rather amusing. We can observe how the unexpected, a source of surprise and humor, disrupts the AI, which seemingly tries to rationalize the situation by « fixing » and « normalizing » the initial intention.

Beegraphy Bruno Taut’s Glass Pavilion

Présentation

The Glass Pavilion designed by Bruno Taut! It was a stunning prismatic glass dome structure built for the 1914 Cologne Deutscher Werkbund Exhibition. This pavilion showcased innovative construction materials and techniques, while also highlighting how glass could be utilized to evoke emotions and construct a spiritual utopia.

The Glass Pavilion had a complex geometric structure composed of a faceted dome formed by numerous flat quadrangular glass panes. The glass panes were fixed into an iron framework that featured a steel compression ring at the base to create a stable and secure foundation.

Understanding the geometric construction of such shapes necessitates a comprehensive grasp of the underlying structure, beyond the optical illusion it presents. It is crucial to recognize that the entire design originates from a preliminary shape. Subsequently, through translation and rotation, the upper panes are derived. Factors such as the shape, size, and heights are determined by various parameters, including the number of sides and the height of the initial triangles. This complexity and the multitude of possible outcomes make a parametric model highly suitable for exploring the various design options. Continuer la lecture de Beegraphy Bruno Taut’s Glass Pavilion
