This past IAAC open lecture took place at COAC (Collegi d´Arquitectes de Catalunya) with the introduction (pictured above) made by Willy Müller (Co-Director MAA). Michel Rojkind talked about the importance of collaborating, discussion and feedback between architects; also the ways you can fabricate the digital design, using technology available or the hand work found locally.

After a week long Research Studio, conducted by Michel Rojkind and Alberto Villarreal the student Emergent Territories have presented their proposals focused on innovation and strategic system. Each proposal is connecting the use of renewed energy sources to the new mobility system in a strategic part of the city. The urban scale and small scale come together, through the real models the students tested their smart ideas.

In today’s session, Alberto Villarreal explained how sometimes we get opportunities for design in things that we do every day and we have to be aware of this, and not take for granted just what you are able to see.

“Architecture is about discussion, that’s what it makes it happen” - Michel Rojkind.
