NOUS is a London based collaborative that comprises a gallery, network, studio, and consultancy with an initiative to promote and facilitate realized work and research by architects and designers. While Nous works on setting up the programing for this year we would like to suggest the following:
NewActon Nishi Competition
“When complete in 2012, NewActon Nishi aims to be the ‘greenest’ multi-unit residential building in Australia’s history – targeting 8.6 star NatHERS. Nishi represents our group’s ideological position on sustainability, community values and the active social and cultural participation in the making of a future that matters. It demonstrates what can be achieved in Australia in outstanding environmental sustainable design and construction. NewActon Nishi represents the future of multi-unit residential development in this country. We invite you to be part of this dream. We’re giving you the chance to showcase your visual skills and design the new corporate identity and visual language to represent the NewActon Nishi multi-unit housing project. There are two competitions— Identify NewActon Nishi and Visualise NewActon Nishi and entrants are free to enter one or both. There are no entry fees and competition closes on 15th March 2010. Prizes including AUD$2500 cash are up for grabs for the winner of each contest, plus MacBook Air Laptops and exposure to some of Australia’s most influential artistic and design professionals.

programming.architecture is a simple and concise introduction to the history of computing and computational design, explaining the basics of algorithmic thinking and the use of the computer as a tool for design and architecture.
Paul Coates, a pioneer of CAAD, demonstrates algorithmic thinking through projects and student work collated through his years of teaching students of computing and design. The book takes a detailed and practical look at what the techniques and philosophy of coding entail, and gives the reader many "glimpses under the hood" in the form of code snippets and examples of algorithms.
This is essential reading for student and professional architects and designers interested in how the development of computers has influenced the way we think about, and design for, the built environment.
