Everyday life at the Institute for advanced architecture of Catalonia
Say hello to the newest member of our robot family at IAAC, meet the new ABB robot in Valldaura Labs, kindly sponsored by ABB with the partnership of ASCAMM!
The Global Sumer School day 8 in Barcelona continued with IAAC Physical Computing expert Guillem Camprodon, developing a practical approach for designing, testing and pro typing energy generation systems. In the evening, some of the IAAC Alumni presented the works they developed during the Masters in Advanced Architecture.
Day 7 of the Global Sumer School in Barcelona was kicked off with a Digital Design Tools Tutorial as well as an Introduction to Physical Computing (Arduino) with Guillem Camprodon, IAAC Physical Computing Expert. In the afternoon the students joined Jaume Barnada, the Deputy Chief Architect of the City Council of Barcelona, for a guided tour [...]
Over the weekend, on days 5 and 6 of the GSS2014, the Barcelona group were introduced to Digital Design Tools for Architecture and Urbanism. Both mornings the students had a Digital Design Tools Tutorial with Luis E. Fraguada, and then in the afternoon worked on their Digital Designs in groups.
Today, day 3 of the Global Summer School, the Analysis phase of the GSSBCN continued with Spyros Stravodavris, using tools to assess the solar potential of the site and identifying the optimum areas for the installation of solar renewables to meet energy demands, through the development of a feasibility study. In the evening, we were [...]
Today, day 2 of the Global Summer School, began the Analysis phase of the GSSBCN where building physicist and solar simulation expert Spyros Stravodavris got in depth with tools for simulating the energy potential of built structures. In the coming days, participants will understand how to use these tools to calculate the energy potential for [...]
The 2014 Global Summer School on the Next City kicked off today. The morning session in Barcelona was opened with a tour of the Fab Lab Barcelona with Luis Fraguada, showing the diverse machines,and explaining and demonstrating how they function. We then moved to the Auditorium where the St Petersburg location joined us in streaming [...]
