How are Underwater Structures Built?
A quick overview of how we build underwater structures. Oceans, rivers, and lakes are often beautiful, but they’re not necessarily convenient places to build things. Yet, many types of the infrastructure we depend on every day, including wharves, bridges, and dams, are founded below the w

How Does Nature Inspire Architecture?
Architects and scientists have found inspiration from animals to create better-living conditions for humans. The animals in question are termites; termites can construct amazingly tall skyscrapers, although the towers are made from dirt. Mick Pearce, a Zimbabwean architect, is someone who

What Is Infrastructure As Code?
Infrastructure as code is a central idea in Continuous Delivery. The environment in which our software exists is a dependency of our software, so we need to control that environment as far as we can. If our aim is to release software reliably and repeatedly we need to control the variables

TU Wien Rendering #4 - Diffuse, Specular and Ambient Shading
As we don't yet know enough to solve the full rendering equations, we invoke simplified BRDF models to capture the most common materials seen in nature: one for diffuse, specular, and ambient shading. They provide quite beautiful and powerful results with a staggeringly simple formulation.
