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:
Almost finished the 1:1 cement structure developed during the intensive workshop “Negociated Formations” directed by Dave Pigram and Iain Maxwell, by supermanoeuvre.
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.
Enric Ruiz Geli is going to lecture at IAAC on the 16th of April within the IAAC Lecture Series – 2012-2013 Spring Term: “It’s all about particles”
