The Master in Advanced Ecological Buildings and Biocities (MAEBB) postgraduate program is an 11-month immersive academic program focused on learning how to design and build a new generation of buildings and cities to respond to the planet’s emerging climate challenges. The program is carried out in Valldaura Labs, in Barcelona, a 135 He property located in the Collserola forest. Here, students will live and work surrounded by nature while using the most advanced technologies and design techniques in the pursuit of what is also IAAC’s long term initiative, to create self-sufficient and ecological environments.
Course: MAA01 22/23 After Gaudí: From Computation to Composition Seminar
Learning from the unfinished Colònia Güell chapel (1898-1914), Antoni Gaudí wanted the structure for the Sagrada Família Basilica (1882 – ongoing) to be ‘equilibrated’, and calculated accordingly. By equilibrated we mean that the gravity forces for the whole basilica are directed axially through the columns: each column is therefore aligned to meet these forces as efficiently as possible through their axes. The seminar investigates two challenges: the description and representation of columns, and the creation of a potentially underlying geometrical guide, and to branch columns and join them elegantly to the trunk. Students develop both design computation through parametric design software, and physical outputs materialising the production of branching columns with their hands.
