IAAC LECTURES: ENRIC RUIZ GELI

Tonight IaaC welcomed Enric Ruiz Geli lecture “It’s all about particles” within the Spring IaaC Lectures. During the event, Enric Ruiz Geli explained his concept of architecture through some projects that he developed with his office Cloud 9. Buildings like “Villa Nurbs”, “Once…a wave” or the “Hotel Prestige Forest” have a total digital background that allows the architect to conceive and produce the building avoiding traditional constraints. Beside this important fact, Enric understands the environment as particles conformed by different chemical elements (Co2, Ho2…), and face every project trying to unfold an architectonical answer through this idea of particles, that becames not only a visualisation tool but also and specially a production tool.

Lecture and Workshop by Dave Pigram and Max Maxwell

Amazing lecture by Dave Pigram and Max Maxwell yesterday night at IAAC. Dave and Max are now running a workshop with IAAC Students titled Negociated Formations:

“The final outcome of the workshop will be a highly speculative, performative and ornamental shell-structure at 1:1. Form is the primary instrument throughwhich architecture engages the world”
Dave Pigram and Max Maxwell, by supermanoeuvre

Dave Pigram & Iain Maxwell lecturing at IAAC ////// Thursday 11th at 19:30

Pigram+Maxwell lecturing at IAAC - MAA 2012-2013

Lecture: Negotiated Formation // Supermanoeuvre
For the last 7 years supermanoeuvre [Iain Maxwell and Dave Pigram] have been vigorously pursuing and developing methodologies that increase the number and quality of feedback relations between design and making: design intent, matter and the methods of production. The pursuit has taken the form of commissioned and speculative projects, technical research and experimentation.
Supermanoeuvre believes that form is the primary instrument through which architecture engages the world. Through their own project work and selected historical examples, supermanoeuvre will articulate an expanded and operative understanding of ‘formation’ through the lenses of computational design and advanced fabrication.

MAI Dialogues: Pablo Valbuena & Jaime Serra

This Monday, March 18th, MAI Dialogues presents Pablo Valbuena & Jaime Serra talks. 19.00hs, IaaC Auditorium.

Pablo Valbuena has become internationally recognized for his augmented architectures, dynamic forms where light and phisical structures combine to create a new hybrid language for form and space. Trained as an architect and having worked previously in videogames, his art projects in galleries and public space interventions preludes the explosion of “projection mapping” as a technique and has been extensively exhibited worldwide.

Jaime Serra is one of the most important names in the field of infographics today. Currently head of graphics at La Vanguardia, his body of work goes beyond the conventions of graphics for journalism and enters into the territory of information visualization and even visual poetry. His work is currently being exhibited at Ars Santa Mónica.

The conference will be streaming LIVE from IaaC’s youtube channel.

Peter Trummer Lecture at IAAC

Tonight IAAC welcomed Peter Trummer lecture “From the city as a filed to the city as an object” within the Winter IAAC Lecture Series.

The lecture unfolded the relationship between urban planning and urban design. A disciplinary knowledge that ones was united and was invented by Ildefonso Cerda and his Theory of urbanization. Urban planning is understood as the regimes that form the knowledge on which urban decisions are based on. This can span from administrative to legislative to economical and technical ones. Urban design is understood as a material projection on which urban environments are formed and shaped. The lecture shown the shift within the discipline of urban design form understanding cities as a field problems towards a the understanding of cities as objects.
