Taller – Estructuras Experimentales

By admin | Published: March 17, 2014

This weekend the Experimental Structures Seminar participated in a workshop with Manja Van de Worp, Silvia Brandi and Alexandre Dubor. The workshop was centred around the development of a stair system, through both the creation of a physical model, as well as the generation of a virtual model using Karamba for virtual structural testing. Once [...]

Experimental Structures Seminar Final Presentations, March 11th

By admin | Published: March 11, 2013

Tonight in IAAC will take place the Final Presentation of the Experimental Structures Seminar. The aim of the seminar was to investigate the extreme possibilities of textile constructions and structures which make them possible. Starting from analyzing existing technologies, students studied the possibilities of building portable and packable pavilions. Three models in a 1:1 scale and two models in [...]

Machinic Conversations I: Hacking an industrial 6axis robot

By admin | Published: February 8, 2013

The first design assignment for the students of the Master in Advanced Architecture 2013 was to develop and test communication protocols to control and manipulate the behavior of a large industrial robot. Since 6-axis machines such as the one in the IAAC Fab Lab are directly inherited from the mass production of cars and other industrial products, [...]

EXPERIMENTAL STRUCTURES COMPETITION

By admin | Published: February 6, 2013

Can a pavilion inflate its skin and change its configurations according to the event? Can a pavilion be desmountable and so foldable to fit in a hand luggage? Can an exhibition space be adaptable descend from a ceiling and become a sensorial personal experience? Today the Experimental Structures Competition took place and we tried to realize some of this [...]
