 The international conference was a great success, and we are greatfully to know that all the old students from the Master are doing really well in the real architecture life. From teaching to material researchers, the Biodigital Architecture family seems to grow healthy.
Thanks to everyone for coming and good luck!
La conferencia internacional fue un éxito, y estamos contentos de saber que todos los antiguos alumnos del Máster les va muy bien en el mundo profesional de la arquitectura. Desde docencia hasta investigadores, parece que la familia de arquitectura Biodigital crece sana.
Gracias a todos por venir y buena suerte!
Here you have some pictures from this short workshop that took place during the first days by Alessio Erioli and Aref Maksoudand.
Aquí tienes algunas fotos de este pequeño workshop que tuvo lugar durante los primeros días a cargo de Alessio Erioli y Maksoudand Aref.
In the twenties and thirties of the 20th century, when some architects were disposed systematically to configure modern world, they did it stimulated for a cultural pressure, for a correct adaptation to new times, and fighting for minimum conditions of human existence. On the other hand, today the urgency is bigger. It is about the entire planetary subsistence. The question is not any more a simple caprice, neither an intellectual necessity, neither sensibility for losing less favoured people. Now, the necessity is global, without reservations of classes, races or religions. The whole planet is in front of danger of no-sustainability for all mankind.

 Neil Leach is an architect, curator and writer.
His research interests fall broadly into two fields, critical theory and digital design. In the field of critical theory, he has published a number of monographs and edited volumes, dealing largely with the impact of importing theoretical tools from critical theory into an architectural arena. These include Rethinking Architecture: A Reader in Cultural Theory (Routledge, 1997); The Anaesthetics of Architecture (MIT Press, 1999); Millennium Culture (Ellipsis, 1999); Architecture and Revolution: Contemporary Perspectives on Central and Eastern Europe (Routledge, 1999); The Hieroglyphics of Space: Reading and Experiencing the Modern Metropolis (Routledge, 2002), China (Map Office, 2004) and Camouflage (MIT Press, 2006). In the field of digital design, he has published a number of edited volumes, including Designing for a Digital World (Wiley, 2002), Digital Tectonics (Wiley, 2004) and Digital Cities (Wiley, 2009).
He has also been co-curator of the Fast Forward>> exhibition at the Architecture Biennial Beijing 2004, the Emerging Talents, Emerging Technologies exhibition at the Architecture Biennial Beijing 2006, and the (Im)material Processes: New Digital Techniques for Architectureexhibition at the Architecture Biennial Beijing 2008.
We will have the pleasure to attend Neil Leach seminar between monday 14th and Friday 18th.
 Today we had a great time during the last correction of Alberto T. Estévez Studio. As a honour guest, Dennis Dollens, who will be teaching next week workshop. But before that happens, Affonso Orciuoli y Pablo Baquero will give us a lecture tomorrow morning (open assitance) about 3D fabrication (CNC, laser, 3Dprinter...). Things begin to grow faster and faster at the master.
Coming soon: project images.
Hoy hemos pasado un buen rato durante la última corrección en el Studio de Alberto T. Estévez. Como invitado de honor, Dennis Dollens, que organizará y dirigirá el workshop de la semana próxima. Pero antes Affonso Orciuoli y Pablo Baquero nos daran una conferencia mañana por la mañana (abierto al publico) sobre fabricación y producción 3D (CNC, laser, 3Dprinter...). Las cosas empiezan a ir cada vez más rápido en el máster.
Próximamente: imágenes de proyectos.
 First two weeks have ended with this lectures:
Alberto T. Estévez (architect), "Biodigital Architecture - Genetic Architectures"
Judith Urbano (art historian), "Sources, Gaudí/Organicism" and "Dalí/Surrealism"
Josep Corcó (philosopher), "The Emergent Character of Life"
Agusti Fontarnau (genetician) "Genetic Fundamentals I"
On the other hand, students have begun their first test in Biodigital Architecture at Alberto T. Estévez's Studio: "Barcelona Island". They look very promising!
 "Programed Geometry: computing and architecture in the information age"
In the fourth week will begin the digital fabrication period by Affonso Orciuoli. Take a look to the lectures and workshops relate. The lectures are open, so anybody in Barcelona can come to say hello and take a look.
“Geometrías programadas: computación y arquitectura en la era de la información”
En la cuarta semana del máster empezará el periodo de fabricación digital a cargo de Affonso Orciuoli. Echad un vistazo a las conferencias y workshops relacionados. Las conferencias son abiertas al público, asi que cualquiera en Barcelona puede pasar a decir hola y echar un vistazo.
