" ...genetic architectures,
new bio & digital techniques,
we've been given the conditions for a new architecture,
that with the digital organicism has become the first avant-garde of the XXI century:
definitely, science has beaten fiction.
Today's utopia is tomorrow's reality (and today is tomorrow!)."
                                                                               Alberto T. Estévez
The iNSTITUTE FOR BiODiGITAL ARCHITECTURE & GENETICS (iBAG), within the UIC Barcelona (Universitat Internacional de Catalunya), has three fields of action: research, teaching and professional practice. It all started in 2000, with the foundation by Alberto T. Estévez of the Genetic Architectures Research Group & Office (research and professional practice), which leads the Master in Biodigital Architecture program (teaching), that also started in 2000, at ESARQ - UIC Barcelona, ​​the School of Architecture founded by Alberto T. Estévez, its first Director.

Basically it is about applying the new biological and digital techniques to architecture and design. This led to the creation of the world's first genetic architecture laboratory in 2000, where genetics began to be applied to architecture (bioluminescent trees, biolamps, bioprinting, electron microscopy structures research, etc.), and the first digital architecture laboratory located in a Spanish school of architecture (design and digital manufacturing). And all organizing an interdisciplinary group of architects, designers, artists, engineers, geneticists and philosophers.
