PRACTISE FABRICATION // BRICK WORKS THIN-TILE VAULT // day 4 & 5

Days four and five of the Brick Works Thin-Tile Vault Seminar – both days on the site at the Valldaura Self Sufficient Labs – kicked off with a collective effort to finish mounting the Laser-cut cardboard pieces that were used as guides for the construction process. These were attached to the wooden formwork. The steel frame and foundations were then set, and the cardboard guides removed, to give way to the beginning of the brick laying phase. Thin bricks are starting to be laid, held in place with the help of the steel rod structure, and fast setting concrete. Once the first layer of bricks is in place, the metal substructure will be removed, and two more layers of bricks will be placed, finally leading to the completion of the structure in question.

Day 2 of the Brick Works Thin-Tile Vault Seminar was and intense and productive day at the Valldaura Self-Sufficient Labs.

The day started out with recycling wood for the formwork necessary to accomplish the structure, that was later assembled. The group of students and tutors also dug the soil for the foundations, then laying out the plastic protection for the soil.

Construction will start on Day 3, so stay tuned for the next steps.

IAAC MAA 2013-2014 Visit to Valldaura Self-Sufficient Labs!

Today the IaaC team, along with the new MAA 2013-2014 students, went up to Valldaura to visit the Valldaura Self Sufficient Labs.

The day was kicked off with a tour of the facility, allowing them to understand in detail what was presented to them earlier in the week.

This tour was followed by the presentation of the first term Studios, one with Javier Peña, Rodrigo Rubio, Oriol Carrasco and Stefanos Levidis; and the other with Marco Poletto, Claudia Pasquero, and Carmelo Zappulla.

A 0 km paella lunch was then served, giving the students time to relax and get to know each other.

The afternoon was then again dedicated to the First term Studios, that have officially started!
