Theoretical Duet: Federico Soriano and Pedro Uzaiz

Today’s theoretical duet saw Federico Soriano (director of the Departamento de proyectos arquitectonicos of the ETSAM) and Pedro Urzaiz (secretary of the COAM) as the protagonists of a discourse revolving around the concepts of telling tales. In particular, how can one tell the tale of a particular scene or architectural element? It seems that an infinite amount of different tales can be told, using many different tools or conditions to do so.

The presentation was divided into 3 parts:

  1. The short film “Codigo 7” by Nacho Vigalondo
  2. The presentation of a built project through 6 conditions
  3. The project of the Centro de Salud San Martin by Pedro Urzáiz and Carlos Pérez-Pla

IAAC LECTURES: ENRIC RUIZ GELI

Tonight IaaC welcomed Enric Ruiz Geli lecture “It’s all about particles” within the Spring IaaC Lectures. During the event, Enric Ruiz Geli explained his concept of architecture through some projects that he developed with his office Cloud 9. Buildings like “Villa Nurbs”, “Once…a wave” or the “Hotel Prestige Forest” have a total digital background that allows the architect to conceive and produce the building avoiding traditional constraints. Beside this important fact, Enric understands the environment as particles conformed by different chemical elements (Co2, Ho2…), and face every project trying to unfold an architectonical answer through this idea of particles, that becames not only a visualisation tool but also and specially a production tool.

Lecture and Workshop by Dave Pigram and Max Maxwell

Amazing lecture by Dave Pigram and Max Maxwell yesterday night at IAAC. Dave and Max are now running a workshop with IAAC Students titled Negociated Formations:

“The final outcome of the workshop will be a highly speculative, performative and ornamental shell-structure at 1:1. Form is the primary instrument throughwhich architecture engages the world”
