 2010-11 edition is done and it's been really interesting. Thanks again to all the teachers and students, and congratulations to everyone! Have a good summer and success with biodigital architecture! Damos por acabada la edición 2010-11 del máster, un curso realmente interesante. Gracias otra vez a profesores y estudiantes, y ¡enhorabuena a todos! Que tengáis buen verano y éxito con la arquitectura biodigital! (photo: master thesis presentation) "Still Alive" Landscapes and others fleshinesses Due to his research on the application of genetics to architecture, Alerto T. Estévez has created the new, strange and surprising images that are joined in this book: a selection of "altered" photographs about natural structures on its most genetic, primitive and original level. Such research is concentrated in the layer where the cellular masses emerge and organize themselves as the first structural step. Something collected thanks to the use of the electron microscope, which opens a still little known dimension of reality, even more when some induced reading takes to a afascinating surreality, of enigmatic evocative power. "Naturalezas Vivas" Paisajes y otras carnosidades Fruto de su investigación sobre la aplicación de la genética a la arquitectura, Alberto T. Estévez ha creado las imágenes inéditas , extrañas y sorprendentes que se reúnen en este libro: unas selección de fotografías alteradas sobre estructuras naturales en su nivel mas genesiaco y primigenio. Tal investigación se concentra en el estrato donde las masas celulares emergen y se auto-organizan como primer escalón estructural . algo recogido merced al uso del microscopio electrónico, que abre una dimensión aun poco conocida de la realidad. mas cuando cierta lectura inducida lleva a una fascinante surrealidad, de enigmático poder evocador.

Chu: Library of it self. 07/04/2011
The architectural design proposed by Karl S. Chu was related to information and computation: A library that contains information, and information by it self. In this architecture container and contained becomes the same. El ejercicio arquitectonico propuesto por Karl S. Chu está relacionado con la información y la computación: una biblioteca que contiene información y es información por si misma. En esta arquitectura contenido y contenedor se funden en uno solo.  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.  We are pleased to present the detailed paper on this three days workshop starting on 30 May at 10am. PhD MArch Alessio Erioli and MArch Aref Maksoudand will be in charge of this workshop entitled Voluptuous bodies and emergent qualities. The aim of the workshop is to give an introductory understanding of key concepts such as topology, information (in morphogenesis), redundancy and pluripotency as a mean to undisclose performative potential through morphology, from biological development to architectural design, within a general framework of an ecology of design. 
del Campo Manninger 05/12/2011
 Yesterday the students presented the last work from Del Campo-Manninger (SPAN) Studio. As special guest, Luis Fraguada assisted to the final correction. The project represents a deep study about patterns, topologies, non-regular space filling geometries, and aggregations. All these related and born within the study of geometric and mathematical properties from the flowers. Ayer, los estudiantes presentaron la última obra de Del Campo-Manninger (SPAN)Studio. Como invitado especial, Luis Fraguada asistido a la corrección final. El proyecto representa un estudio profundo acerca de los patrones, topologías, las geometrías del espacio no habitual de llenado, y agregaciones. Todos estosrelacionados y nacidos en el estudio de las propiedades geométricas y matemáticasde las flores.  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.

 Taking profit of the holidays, all the PCs in our digital laboratory will update their Rhino versions to 5.0 (currently in WIP). Between many other features, Rhino5.0 allows to display and edit huge 3D models which will allow us to design even more complex projects. Aprovechando las vacaciones, todos los PCs de nuestro laboratorio digital actualizarán su versión de Rhinoceros a v5.0 (actualmente en WIP). Entre muchas otras funciones, Rhino5.0 permite trabajar con modelos 3D mucho mayores, permitiéndonos así desarrollar proyectos aun más complejos. Bernard Cache 03/30/2011
 On Monday April 4th, Bernard Cache will arrive for another intensive workshop at the Biodigital Architecture Master. Bernard Cache was born 26th may 1958, Architect EPFL, Polytechnic School of Lausanne, Diploma of the Institute of Philosophy. He is a key figure within a select group who have been using digital tools and computation techniques for architectural conception since the very beginning, and so we are really looking forward to see and work on his new ideas. El lunes 4 de Abril, Bernard Cache llegará a otro intenso taller intensivo en el Máster de Arquitectura Biodigital. Bernard Cache nace el 26 de mayo de 1958, Arquitecto EPFL, Escuela Politécnica deLausana, Diploma del Instituto de Filosofía... Es una figura clave dentro de un selecto grupo que han estado utilizando las herramientas digitales y técnicas de computación para la concepción arquitectónica desde sus inicios y así, estamos deseando ver y trabajar en sus nuevas ideas. | CategoriesAll ArchivesSeptiembre 2011 | ||
