The MAA is a visionary master program with an innovative and open structure, mixing diverse disciplines, shaping professionals capable of producing theoretical & practical solutions towards responsive cities, architecture & technology.
The project developed in the Introduction to digital Fabrication seminar involved designing and fabricating three distinct elements of a cabin, each using a different digital fabrication technique. Through this process, we explored the applications of laser cutting, CNC milling, and 3D printing. “The Spine” is a cabin based on an arched type structure, inspired by … Read more
The project Warded explores the concept of a “cabin of the future.” When considering future projections, it is difficult to estimate the exact needs and conditions; therefore, Warded is designed for flexibility. For its canopy structure, a traditional tile roof-like pattern is reimagined and interwoven further, like fabric, produced through laser cutting. A fractal tree, … Read more
The Concept when tasked with designing a cabin, we envisioned elegant, simple forms that would stand in contrast to the complex, organic shapes of nature. as we considered the landscape it would inhabit, we realized that this cabin wouldn’t just sit on the land—it would CLING to it, embracing the terrain in a dynamic and … Read more
3D PRINTING REFERENCES Inspired by the interplay of flexibility and precision , this concept captures the merging of fluid fabric forms with the structured intricacies of 3d printing and laser cutting . By layering printed patterns onto pliable textiles , this project explores the seamless integration of hard and soft elements , creating a form … Read more
In this term, we had the opportunity to explore the three distinct fabrication techniques- CNC Milling, Laser Cutting and 3D printing – which resulted in the production of our cabin components CNC MILLING “Diamtic Echoes” A wall was created with layered cutouts and a grid system to add depth. In order to experiment with material … Read more
This term, we explored three fabrication techniques: CNC Milling, Laser Cutting, and 3D Printing. Our objective was to create complex geometries while investigating the unique properties of each method. Through this investigation, we aimed to demonstrate how different shapes can be produced using various machines and techniques, thereby enhancing our understanding of advanced fabrication processes. … Read more
The Concept GeoCabin is an exploration of three forms of digital fabrication: CNC Milling, Laser Cutting and 3D Printing. It features a continuous, blob-like geometry inspired by the lime-green blobs found in the Andes. The geometry was created through parametric algorithms, blending curves and voids. The design process evolves from a base geometry to a … Read more
Bringing Producers, Consumers and Nature Together This project aims to connect local food producers, consumers, and nature in a symbolic way. The metaphor of a “table” represents unity and sustenance, gathering people across different genders, ages, and social classes. This installation, built from waste materials and invasive plants like Pontederia Crassipes, doubles as an ecosystem, … Read more
ReCitying is a Workshop hosted by IAAC and Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat to explore sustainable design and creative recycling in rural spaces. The first phase of the Workshop, in October 2024, focused on developing proposals for an installation using waste from Parc Agrari and planting crops to integrate into the project. We explored initial … Read more
