Everyday life at the Institute for advanced architecture of Catalonia
Today, students from Research Studio Digital Tectonics /Fabrication Ecologies of the Master in Advanced Architecure present their 2nd Term projects. Presentation will be at the Auditorium from 10 to 20 hs.
During this 4 days workshop, students from the Fabrication Ecologies research line of the Master in Advanced Architecture 2013 were able to develop and test a new fabrication protocol deploying Hemp fibres by means of an industrial robot.
Through the production of a 1:1 scale prototype, the 4 teams explored the design opportunities arising from 2 different fabrication techniques developed within the Fabrication Ecologies Studio, focussed on the production of:
- an aggregate substratum via pick and place of fibrous component units.
- a non-woven fabric skin via robotic spraying of row hemp filaments.
