IAAC LECTURES: ALEJANDRO TAMAYO

By admin | Published: April 29, 2013

Today Alejandro Tamayo took us through his journey of technology between magic and everyday life, presenting us 4 of his more technology orientated projects.
His first approach to technology was through a camera, using the camera to see something that can’t be seen with the naked eye, and using this both as a protection and as a projection tool. For example, the possibility of seeing things from different points of view simultaneously.
This pushed him to move outside of the objects studied, and more in to space, using technology as a poetic telescope to see beyond.

Theoretical Duet: Federico Soriano and Pedro Uzaiz

By admin | Published: April 22, 2013

Today’s theoretical duet saw Federico Soriano (director of the Departamento de proyectos arquitectonicos of the ETSAM) and Pedro Urzaiz (secretary of the COAM) as the protagonists of a discourse revolving around the concepts of telling tales. In particular, how can one tell the tale of a particular scene or architectural element? It seems that an infinite amount of different tales can be told, using many different tools or conditions to do so.

The presentation was divided into 3 parts:

  1. The short film “Codigo 7” by Nacho Vigalondo
  2. The presentation of a built project through 6 conditions
  3. The project of the Centro de Salud San Martin by Pedro Urzáiz and Carlos Pérez-Pla
