Everyday life at the Institute for advanced architecture of Catalonia
Today the Elective Seminar Public Space Capsules led by José Ballesteros and Rodrigo Rubio presented their final works. The seminar aimed to build self-sufficient and interactive prototypes, that were light-weight, temporary and fragile, and able to host one or two people, amid the contemporary urban public space. The prototypes were to be rapidly developed, simple and [...]
This weekend the Experimental Structures Seminar participated in a workshop with Manja Van de Worp, Silvia Brandi and Alexandre Dubor. The workshop was centred around the development of a stair system, through both the creation of a physical model, as well as the generation of a virtual model using Karamba for virtual structural testing. Once [...]
The workshop held at CITA last week, investigating the potential to build a canopy between the two workshop spaces at KADK proposing a structure covering a courtyard used for open-air material experiments, concluded with the final presentation of the prototype developed. To end the trip to Copenhagen on a lighter and more touristic note, the [...]
The Digital Matter Studio Students and Tutors continue their experience in Copenhagen: The Students are continuing to develop their research and prototypes in the workshop studying the ways of creating tensioned membranes with disconnected bending active elements, stabilising non-elastic membranes locally (for example with the configuration of three linear elements placed in a reciprocal configuration). Within [...]
