Digital fabrication > building Barcelona out of foam

iaac — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 09:23:45 +0000

In coordination with Tomas Diez, the students are fabricating a 1:2000 model of Barcelona with the CNC milling machine, for Digital Fabrication and Design Studio classes. The finished model will be mounted on a wooden base wall, where the student are going to project their proposals for a zero emissions city.

Chris Wan currently city design manager at Masdar, was at the institute to give an open lecture about this sustainable project, and he expressed a big interest in IaaC’s Zero Emissions project of Barcelona, so he had a private session before the lecture with the students related with CO2 emissions and the different ways that they can approach emissions balance.

Introductory Studio, Barcelona Zero Emissions Mid Review

iaac — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 22:00:33 +0000

The students presented their analyses of different parts of Barcelona. In approach to the final proposal for a zero emission Barcelona, they have studied and analyzed different aspects of the city. Vicente Guallart, Willy Muller, Marta Malé, Lluis Viu, Jordi Pages, Areti Markopoulou and Tomas Diez reviewed the projects and discussed about them with the students.

Afterwards, the general perspective of the zero-emission project had been evaluated in a semi-roundtable with Director Vicente Guallart.

Site model in progress for the Barcelona Zero Emissions project. Students keep working and organizing sites for the working prototype model.

Digital Fabrication > Barcelona site milling

iaac — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:15:15 +0000

Following the Barcelona Zero Emissions project, the MAA students are working on digital modeling and production of a 1:2000 model of the entire Barcelona city. This model is a working prototype for proposals on a Zero emissions city, as well as the base physical model for the development of an interactive interface of Barcelona that will provide and receive information coming from research data based obtained by students on site. MAA students are making night shifts to cover the entire production of the city, mainly fabricated with the CNC Milling machine at the Fab Lab.
