(RS2 Self Sufficient Buildings: Students discuss sustainable urban planning in Masdar City)

Students in the Masters in Advanced Architecture Program are split into three Research Studios (RS1: Emergent Territories, RS2: Self Sufficient Buildings, RS3 Digital Tectonics). This week each will be exploring a different part of the world.

As we have mentioned, each trip is related to the focus of each Research and Development Studio. Their goal is to discover advanced architecture in action around the world and apply and expand upon these ideas in their work when they return for the final Phase of their Masters program. In this post you will see a few of the things a couple of the Studios have seen in their travels that relate to their MAA curriculum at IAAC.

(RS1 Self Sufficient Buildings- Electric cars in Masdar City)

(RS3 Digital Tectonics- The longest 5axis CNC machine, used to fabricate free-form timber structures at Blumer-Lehmann in Erlenhof)

(RS2 Self Sufficient Buildings: Masdar Library by Norman Foster, created from low carbon materials)

Digital fabrication > building Barcelona out of foam

iaac — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 09:23:45 +0000

In coordination with Tomas Diez, the students are fabricating a 1:2000 model of Barcelona with the CNC milling machine, for Digital Fabrication and Design Studio classes. The finished model will be mounted on a wooden base wall, where the student are going to project their proposals for a zero emissions city.

Digital Fabrication Seminar first phase presentations

iaac — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 10:53:58 +0000

Faculty : Tomas Diez

Guest Jury : Marta Malé-Alemany (MAA Co-Director), Luis Fraguada (Computation Design Faculty)

Fab Lab Collaborators: Luciano Betoldi, Guillem Camprodon, Carlos Castro, Fabio Lopez

The students Of the MAA 2010-11 completed the first 2 assignments for the digital fabrication class. The Bench and the brick were successfully completed with the use of a CNC laser cutter and a CNC 3d printer. The students with these design projects managed to get a first idea of digital fabrication techniques and the use of CNC technology.
