The Master Programme in Robotics and Advanced Construction is an innovative educational format that offers interdisciplinary skills and understanding through a series of class seminars that are put into practice through hands-on workshops. IAAC gives students the opportunity to create individual studio agendas and develop Pilot Thesis Projects based on the knowledge acquired during the seminars and workshops split into 3 Modules. In this way, IAAC puts together an experimental learning environment for the training of professionals with both theoretical and practical responses to the increasing complexity of the construction sector.
WORKSHOP 3.2 STONE AND CODE is a robotic column sculpture that combines natural stone construction with computational fabrication. Using two robotic systems, one robot prints the column layers while the other places digitally scanned stones into the structure. Around 40% of each stone remains exposed, creating a raw and natural texture. Pathways through Barcelona and … Read more
The intent was to create a tangible, physical interface for real-time environmental simulation feedback in architectural design — letting designers manipulate physical building models by hand on a table, while a camera detects the arrangement and instantly projects live wind flow, solar exposure, or shadow analysis back onto the models. The goal was to remove … Read more
