FabLab Barcelona
The Fab Lab program is part of the MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) which broadly explores how the content of information relates to its physical representation, fab.cba.mit.edu. FabLab Barcelona is part of the FabLab central where students from Peru, Ethiopia, Italy and Spain are learning. With the future FabLabs under formation in both Ethiopia [...]
Geodesic Gridshell experiment
WorkGroup: Leonidas Paterakis, Gianluca Santosuosso , Svetlana Nesterushkina, Viraj Kataria Tutor: Marine Bagneris – Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Montpellier In this experiment we tried to build a physical model of a free form surface, using the technique of the geodesic curves of the surface. The general definition of the geodesic curves is: “the shortes [...]

The Experimental Folds
Carrying on from our previous experiments on Rigid Origami, 2 groups of us have decided to combine forces in making a real scale furniture prototype in order to further experiment on the same technique. Thru this exercise we aimed to be particular in the strategies in the appropiate uses of folding angles in the terms of the object’s functions, the materiality [...]
Internet 0
Students with faculty Victor Viña have been working on their projects for Internet 0. Their modules are now on one to one scale and ready for trial. They are now working on each prototype – electronics, installation ,programming and also development of the concept idea are involved. These will also be applied in various architectural [...]
