Master in Advanced Architecture: Self Sufficient Buildings Studio – Final Presentation

self sufficient studio
Date: 25 June, 2024 Time: 9:30 (CEST) Location: IAAC Atelier Building - Pujades 59, Barcelona

What will be presented?

Students from the Self Sufficient Buildings Studio—part of the Master in Advanced Architecture Year 1—will present the results of a semester-long exploration into climate-resilient housing.

The studio investigates how architecture can respond to local conditions and energy challenges through design. Throughout the term, students engaged in hands-on experiments with building physics, digital fabrication, computational design and physical computing. Each project began with the analysis of a specific energy phenomenon, translated into a physical prototype.

These early investigations evolved into complete housing projects for medium to large communities. The final proposals integrate:

  • complex energy strategies,

  • spatial organisation and material experimentation,

  • and regenerative approaches to construction.

Each project rethinks how buildings can behave—not just as shelters, but as active agents in their ecosystems.
