– Introduction: Echo de Rut Plaça de la Virreina: -Plaça de la Virreina exists in a delicate tension between past and present, a space where history is not a relic but a rhythm. At its core stand two silent yet commanding sentinels: the Church of Saint Joan and the Font de Rut. These are not … Read more
A Fluid Dialogue Between Light, Space, and Movement. Luzarca is a lightweight architectural pavilion that merges computational design, structural efficiency, and urban interaction. Its undulating mesh canopy creates a dynamic play of light and shadow, shifting throughout the day. Designed for modularity, it is easily assembled, disassembled, and relocated, emphasizing sustainability. The pavilion fosters movement … Read more
CONCEPT Plaça de George Orwell, a historically and socially complex urban space in Barcelona, serves as the foundation for our pavilion, Nestscape. Inspired by the triangular geometry of the plaza, the design emerges as a modular, porous canopy that interacts with human and avian movement alike. The pavilion responds to the site’s historical evolution—from a contested public … Read more
Master in Advanced Architecture Computational Design Seminar Yetkin Demir / Giovanny Gordillo SITE Placa De Sant Felip Neri is a small square located in the Gothic quarter. Bearing scars from the Spanish Civil War in 1938, this plaza holds a tragic past. Surrounded by the church and mixed use buildings, this square serves as a … Read more
This project is a journey into the fusion of digital design, biomimetic structures, and fabrication logic. Inspired by natural patterns and organic growth, the pavilion emerges as a seamless blend of computational precision and artistic expression. Concept Development – Finding Inspiration The initial spark for this pavilion came from observing organic growth patterns found in … Read more
Abstract Urban noise pollution significantly impacts public health and quality of life, necessitating innovative approaches for its analysis and visualization. This study employs Computational methods to examine and represent urban soundscapes by integrating spatial analysis, sound propagation modelling, and digital visualization techniques. The methodology involves categorizing urban tourist activities, and amenities in Barcelona, based on … Read more

can robots and humans work hand in (hand) to create beautiful architecture? KOMA is a contemplative space, designed to be set in the landscape and allow for peaceful viewing, the form of KOMA is parametric and is able to sway with the wind through the use of tensile cables. The vertical timber elements were placed … Read more
Drawing inspiration from the Central American term “colocho” meaning curl or loop, we developed a robotic printed clay column, while experimenting with non-uniform extrusions. In this seminar we explored the geometric possibilities that can be created with the incorporation of non-uniform rotations and movements in the robot while printing with clay. At the same time, … Read more
AiR is an Augmented Reality (AR) interface designed for creation of temporary fabric structures with a wooden framework. AiR enhances your design experience by scanning the site and offering a catalog of structures tailored for shading, resting, or playing. With real-time AR visualization, you can preview your chosen designwithin the environment before assembling it. The … Read more
Robot-Assisted stacking of Wooden blocks Design concept In this experimental project, we explored the intersection of aesthetics and structural logic by designing a parametrically controlled wooden column assembled using robotic fabrication. The column starts with a square base and gradually transforms into a triangular top, demonstrating a seamless geometric transition. By stacking precisely cut wooden … Read more
Robot-Assisted Assembly in Wood Construction- We designed and built a parametric wall using robotic arm technology to achieve precision, efficiency, and complex shapes that are challenging to create using traditional methods. The robotic arm followed a computer-generated design, converting digital models into precise physical forms. This automated process allowed for seamless material placement, optimized structural … Read more
