IAAC and 3DPA are glad to have recently welcomed in Barcelona the collaborative partners of the Living Prototypes project. The two-day event series organised for them included the inauguration of Spain’s First 3D Printed Earthen Architecture, realised in the framework of the 3DPA programme, as well as a series of workshops and brainstorming sessions regarding the upcoming exhibition at ANCB in Berlin, next November 2022.
Living Prototypes is a project in partnership with several universities and companies across Europe, funded by the research innovation program, Forschungsinitiative Zukunft Bau (BBSR, Germany) and initiated by ANCB The Aedes Metropolitan Laboratory, Berlin. Including Bonn CITA – Centre for Information Technology and Architecture, at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen, COBOD International A/S in Copenhagen, ITKE – Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design, at the University of Stuttgart, FibR GmbH, Kernen, WASP in Massa Lombarda, and IAAC, 3DPA, Barcelona.
The project investigates Digital Fabrication Processes and Prototypes for Resource-Conscious Living Spaces. The network recently met in Barcelona for a two day workshop, the past February 28th and March 1st, for brainstorming sessions, presenting their works, and planning the final exhibition to take place at ANCB in Berlin, December of 2022.
The Living Prototypes project is funded by the research innovation programme, Zukunft Bau (BBSR, Germany).
