Everyday life at the Institute for advanced architecture of Catalonia
Site model in progress for the Barcelona Zero Emissions project. Students keep working and organizing sites for the working prototype model.
Following the Barcelona Zero Emissions project, the MAA students are working on digital modeling and production of a 1:2000 model of the entire Barcelona city. This model is a working prototype for proposals on a Zero emissions city, as well as the base physical model for the development of an interactive interface of Barcelona that [...]
The three day workshop is connected with the studio1 class. During these 3 days the students are going to create parts of a physical model of the city of Barcelona using 3 different techniques and 3 different materials. At the same time they will be introduced with the usage of the CNC milling machine and [...]

Parametric Model The rancho digital is being constructed now in the Fab Lab. Each team is producing one to one prototypes of the different parts of the habitable space, 12 sqmt made out of the scraps from the Fab Lab House project. Ceiling, Structure, Enclosure, Ground Floor, Formwork…all parts are becoming toghether in one prototype. The Informalism [...]
