Last 19th of April La Casa Elizalde in Barcelona opened its doors to present the exhibition Scripts – a chronicle of incidents, directed by IAAC OTF Co-director Edouard Cabay, and displaying an extensive series of drawings mechanically created by automated plotting machines.
The seminar Liquid Skin, led by Edouard Cabay with the support of a team of experts including Alexandre Dubor, Resja Ferusic, Carles Salas and Ferran Figuerola, focused on the integration of liquids within curved glass assemblies or surfaces, in order to produce architectural effects or performance: climatic, energetic and spatial.
Hugo, a 7 year old boy, has experienced a few special days at the Fab Lab Barcelona: with the help of Santiago Fuentemilla he has realized the dream of turning a simple drawing into a real object with the use of digital manufacture.
Only a few days to go for the Master in Advanced Architecture’s Seminar Bifurcation, led by the Executive Architect and Researcher at the Sagrada Familia Mark Burry, where students will be challenged to design a ten meters column using the same principles of the Gaudí’s column.
Last Thursday Open Thesis Fabrication (OTF) students have finally unveiled the outcomes of the six-month postgraduate program, led by IAAC Faculty Edouard Cabay and Alexandre Dubor, which focused this year on the applications of additive manufacturing in the production of sustainable low-cost buildings, printable on site with 100{9109d278f27679b0d72ba26d1dbf285952fc93361903e26181bc35932131a14a} natural materials.
