Everyday life at the Institute for advanced architecture of Catalonia
This week the Master in Advanced Architecture Advanced Interaction research line students participated in a workshop with the European Arts, Science and Technology Network, held at the Valldaura Self Sufficient Labs, and focussing on Tangibility, the Network’s focus theme for this year’s research program. The main purpose of the European Art Science and Technology Network [...]
A collapsible modular tensile structure that allows you to set up a seating and a shelter wherever you want, a rolling cocoon in which you can rest in several different positions before rolling away again and again, a green parametric pavilion formed by a performance-specific components capable to build up a structure out of sawdust [...]
Practise Fabrication // Lightweight Structures 1:1 Seminar, development continues….
On the last scheduled day on the site, a big effort was made to finish the first layer of bricks, in order for the pavilion to obtain structural integrity and the steel rods to be removed. The weather slowed things down, as varying humidity conditions affected with the behaviour of the fast-setting concrete mixture, while [...]
The Practise Fabrication // Robotic Micro Carpentry Seminar, led by Tom Pawlofsky – ETH – with Alexandre Dubor and Sofoklis Giannakopoulos, explores the KUKA robot as a multi-tool, micro factory. The aim is to give an introduction to robotic fabrication, focusing on setting up processes and tools to be used with the robot. The students [...]
