GSS2014 The Next City // day 10-14

admin — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 09:37:38 +0000

Day 10 of the Global summer School in Barcelona marked the start of the Synthesis phase, then continued through day 11.

The idea is not to create scaled models representing concepts, but rather take forward certain parts of the team projects to prototype as proofs of concepts. Documentation of this work is being done through two products: 1) a dynamic scale model showing the generative strategy as distributed in Torre Baró and 2) a 1:1 ‘detail’ prototype showing the working energy apparatus to be distributed in the site.

For the development of this phase we have been joined by audio visual experts Ignacio de Juan Creix and Carlo Santi from TL3.

GSS2014 The Next City // day 9

admin — Thu, 17 Jul 2014 18:08:42 +0000

Day 9 of the Global Summer School in Barcelona started with a Digital Design Tools tutorial run by IAAC Global School Coordinator and Computational Expert Luis Fraguada.

The groups then had the opportunity to work on their project proposals and initial prototypes, which were then later presented in the Mid-Presentation of the GSS.

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.

GSS2014 The Next City // day 7

admin — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 19:14:34 +0000

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 of the city of Barcelona.

GSS2014 The Next City // days 5 & 6

admin — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 20:33:36 +0000

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.

GSS2014 The Next City // day 4

admin — Sat, 12 Jul 2014 12:53:55 +0000

Today, day 4 of the Global Summer School, the Analysis phase of the GSSBCN continued with Spyros Stravodavris, further developing the site specific feasibility study.

In the afternoon, the GSS2014 BCN group headed off to the Sagrada Familia, where they were given and explanation on the development of the project, as well as a technical tour of the construction site.

GSS2014 The Next City // day 3

admin — Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:12:46 +0000

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 joined by Vicente Guallart, Chief architect of the City Council of Barcelona and one of the founders of IAAC, who presented his vision of the Next City, or more accurately the next Barcelona: Barcelona 5.0. The lecture was followed by a discussion with Vicente, the students of the Global Summer School, and IaaC Master Program Director Areti Markopoulou.

GSS2014 The Next City // day 2

admin — Thu, 10 Jul 2014 14:03:56 +0000

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 building sites and entire territories.
