Ragnar – a gruelling, yet incredibly fun challenge that took 24 employees of 3form along the scenic “Wasatch Back” for the run of a lifetime. 191.7 miles of putting one foot in front of the other.
Congratulations to Team Path to Zero and Team Full Circle!
The photos tell it all.

There is only one thing I love more than 3form…SHOES.
This year at ICFF I saw some amazing shoes (for many of which I had severe shoe envy). Two trends I noticed that I loveLOVElove are mixing mediums of wood and leather/suede, and the ever-fabulous wedge.
Here’s some eye-candy for my fellow Translucent shoe-lovers:
AIA Booth | Koda XT
Check out our recent display at the American Institute of Architecture (AIA) National Convention in New Orleans.
We stepped out of our norm to show some different, lesser known aspects of 3form. Did you know 3form materials are used extensively in exterior applications? Our booth at the show as clad with our Koda XT material – specifically developed for demanding outdoor installations.
A special display at our booth detailed our partnership project with ITAC, an innovative building technology integration research group within the University of Utah College of Architecture + Planning.
It was a great opportunity to test and challenge conventional solar uses in architecture using 3form material.
Professors and students at ITAC collaborated with the 3form Advanced Technology Group to research and develop preliminary exterior designs. The project originally focused on DIPV (Design Integrated PhotoVoltaics), but soon morphed into an exploration of solar shading possibilities. The collaborative group developed a unique façade called CRATE. The lattice work product utilizes Koda XT in vertical and horizontal applications that can be used on the façade of a building to create differing profiles for solar shading performance.
The project got a lot of attention at the convention. Who says technology isn’t fun?

wondrous wood exterior
It seemed that wondrous wood was everywhere at the Milan show, appearing in many forms and expressions. Old, burned, plywood, metal finish, print, wallpaper, ceramic tile . . . it’s not that using wood is such a novel idea, but there were so many wonderful new ways to make the medium work.
The same was true when we were out and about.

Way to go!
Ideally, wouldn’t we all like to live in a climate where outdoor living is possible year-round? And wouldn’t we love to live in a space where the divide between indoors and outdoors is non-existent? São Paulo-based Fernanda Marques achieved this idealistic balance in her Loft 24-7 residence, presented at the CasaCor exhibition in São Paulo, Brazil.
In the 250-square-meter (about 2,700 square feet) space, Marques has erased the barriers by using "outdoor" elements inside and "indoor" elements outside and creating easy visual links between the two. Limestone, rough stone, steel, glass, wood paneling and furnishings that speak to the architect’s modernist style, all create a harmonious, seamless environment where you are never quite in and never quite out.
Fernanda Marques is the chief architect at Fernanda Marques Arquitetos Associados that is involved in both residential and commercial architecture, interior design, furniture design and real estate. – Tuija Seipell.
