Everyday life at the Institute for advanced architecture of Catalonia
With finals coming up soon student groups are currently working on their Fabbots, to achieve their aspired research avenue. Swarm robots, weaving machines, Sand casting and molding, Solar driven fabrication techniques are a few of the types currently being developed. Students have been working and consulting with faculty Marta Malé-Alemany , Victor Viña and assistant [...]
Students have been trying to put their ideas of internet 0 into practice.They are now working on their physical prototypes for their future computational works. With faculty Victor Viña different ideas are explored and debated with different student groups. These include; monitoring and visualizing energy consumption and generation, adaptive facades to control air flow, sun radiation [...]
The starting point is having a pedestrian movement, which is the most obvious decision about a 10 000 people city/neighborhood. That means I had to set up some distance rules between the different component and programs. Based on that distances, I had the plot for my city (how big it should be according my rules) [...]
This first analysis was about the energy which could be spend at each SM on different loccation.For Studio II our proposal was a self sufficient building hotel. The building that has been worked had severals changes to fit in my conception…The possibility about the room change position could be a way to the guest control [...]

Project Description: light seeking machines are programmed to push grounded bricks towards light cast onto the floor. (eg. the sunlight coming through a window). As the sun rises and sets the light path moves and the bricks follow, thus creating emergent patterns. Lighting simluations via Ecotect will be used to: 1. Study how brick placement [...]
