IAAC Lecture Series: Peter Eisenman
IAAC had the pleasure to welcome one of the ‘ New York Five’.
Peter Eisenman came back to Barcelona after 15 years with a lecture at IAAC .
Peter Eisenman and “Whither Achitecture?”
Wither, as Mr. Eisenman explained, means to dry/to die, whither with “h” on the other hand has another significance: what of …Therefore “what of Achitecture?”
“I don’t want to be controversial , I just want to tell you about the world that we live in today¨
IAAC Can Valldaura Volunteer Program
IAAC launched its first volunteer program at IAAC Can Valldaura forest camp last weekend.
24 students of MAA 2010/11 attended the program collaborating actively in tasks such as opening paths, collecting existing bricks, removing wall layers in an effort of discovering the history of the place and bring back its lost value.
During the volunteer program students faced a discovery of a hidden wall that probably served a facade of a room of the monastery that was out of the main building.
The program closed with a barbecue on the terrace of the property….
MAA Lecture Series: Nader Tehrani
Nader Tehrani introduced several projects designed by officdA (a Boston-based architecture and design firm led by Mr. Tehrani and his principal partner, Monica Ponce de Leon) with the focus on the spatial relationship between floor and ceiling , in terms of design concepts and tectonic processes, that they have used in their works.
