COURSE DISCREPTION Ubiquitous computing enables us to decipher the Biopshere’s anthropogenic dimension, the so called Urbansphere. In the Anthropocene, we know our civilisation reached global impact because the machines that we built to sense it, tell us so. In this respect we are already in a post-anthropocenic condition, where the impact of artificial systems on the natural Biosphere is indeed global, but their agency is no longer entirely human. In the Anthropocene Age we therefore need more than ever a non-anthoropocentric mode of reasoning and deploying design technologies as the anthropocentrism immanent in their explorative mobilisation in architecture limits its operative scope.
In this design studio we will test the potential to bring at the core of architectural novelty the interdependence of digital and biological intelligence, by pairing algorithmically drawn (Minimized detour) with biologically grown (Physarum Polycephalum) minimal networks. We will try to observe the diagrammatic capacity of living systems in the process of growing and becoming part of a bio-digital assemblage or apparatus. We will train our sensibility at recognising patterns of reasoning across disciplines, materialities and technological regimes thus expanding our repertoire of .aesthetic qualities

Methodologically it will imply questioning concepts such as zone, scale, typology and program which will evolve into high resolution bio-computational drawings of Barcelona’s .future WetWare, its networks of ecological intelligence Modelling minimal networks both digitally and biologically. Digital networks will be computed algorithmically by connecting soft or "wet" areas with hard or "built" areas in Barcelona. Such networks will be made to re-describe the existing road network of the city.

CONTEXT Digital Fabrication is an introductory course on new production techniques through the relation between computer data and machine oriented fabrication. During the initial 3 week course different manufacturing approaches were explored. Each team will produce 3 spheres using each of the 3 digital fabrication technologies available at Iaac: Laser cuting, CNC milling and 3d-printing. All spheres have to integrate a hole (min 50mm diameter) and a flat surface (min 60mm diameter) . Each machines and material have their own sets of constraints and potentials that lead to different strategies from design to fabrication. Digital Fabrication

CONTEXT The aim of this second phase of the digital fabrication was to deepen the understanding and explore the capabilities and limitations of the three manufacturing processes introduced in the crash course, and to develop an integrated approach to design and production. The students are asked to select one of three projects, each of which is dedicated to one specific process. The common framework of the three exercises is the task of developing modular elements that are going to be cast, stacked and assembled at the scale of a ١:١ wall to be situated in the ground floor of IAAC Atelier carrer pujades ٥٩.

CONTEXT The main task of this exercise is to decode the logic of complex facade systems, analyzing and defining the computational process behind them. With this logic thought out students will propose several configurations that reflect the parametrization of the building skin. This exercise aims to train students in setting up a proper computational strategy, approaching the complex design proposals of such facades through a series of simple steps. In this course, we’ll focus on emergent design strategies based on algorithmic design logic. From the physical spaces of our built environment to the networked spaces of digital culture, algorithmic and computational strategies are reshaping not only design strategies but the entire perception of Architecture and its boundaries.

PROJECT BRIEF Digital Matter research line focuses on the research and development of an architecture that is not merely inhabited, but becomes technologically integrated, interactive and evolutional. It researches the implementation of smart , active or zero emissions materials coupled with responsive technologies for the creation of dynamic built spaces that respond, move, feed the soil, breathe, change shape and state. Digital Matter explores the architecture that responds and adapts to continuous fluxes of the surrounding environment and user’s needs, becoming closer to living organisms,
By incorporating responsive technologies into the building systems, architects have the ability to tie the shape of a building directly to its environment or to its users needs. This enables us to reconsider the way we design and construct space not towards purely aesthetic creations but exploring “responsive architecture as the natural product of the integration of computing power into built structures” ٥ The next architectural design, is the one of enabling the design of relationships, behaviours and modes of operation that endures beyond construction.

ABSTRACT The Base of our project is to develop a composite material or its system like a wall which can replace home heating equipment or existing heating systems or reduce its usage. In recent years after the discovery of simpliďŹ ed extraction process of graphene; there has been lot of research done on how to use graphene as a building material. Graphene has high thermal conductivity, very high electrical conductivity and good mechanical properties which can have potential applications in building design and construction sector. One such research project was carried out by group of students here in Iaac; which focused on mixing graphene with different building materials and enhancing composite properties. We have taken this project and its ďŹ ndings as a base for our project. We are making a composite material by mixing graphene with clay which can replace existing heating systems. Clay is a very high resistance material which makes it electrically non conductive. By mixing graphene with clay we can turn clay into electrical conductive and also heat generative material. Through our research, we are able to make a composite which can transform electricity into heat at a low resistance value. Now our approach is to develop such a system; which can replace existing heating systems by combining both electrical conductivity and heat generation properties of this composites. Apart from above mentioned application; graphene and clay composite also has potential to transfer electronic data which can replace the existing wire system for data transfer.

THERMAL DIFFUSIVITY The relation between thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal lag is essential. thermal diffusivity Describes a body's temperature with respect to time as a result of its thermal mass. A body with high thermal mass (high heat capacity and low conductivity) will have a large thermal lag.. which means more thermal conductivity equals less thermal lag and faster heat transfer from the outer surface to the inner surface. THERMAL q = -K .

PROJECT BREIF you will design and Build a prototype for a Himalayan Retreat. This brief is part of Back street’s academy request for an off-grid accommodation in Ngawal (Nepal). This prototype will provide a space of approximately ٢٠m² and can accommodate ٢ people. The construction system used for this prototype will be designed in such a way, that it is suitable also for other building types, and extendable for future additions to the prototype (such as a hotel reception). The remoteness of the location requires a non-motorised transport
to site and an appropriate assembly protocol, as well as the use of local and environmentally friendly materials.Furthermore, the extreme climatic conditions will be a central consideration in the design. During the course you will design a wooden structure, invent an (integrated) cladding system, considering off grid performance and construction methodologies linked to remote location, with and an emphasis on working with transportable materials.

EPLODED AXO OFTHE YURT The vision of the project is to create a new structural system that can work the extream climate that we have in Nepal, and also can be fabricated and easily transported into the site.so we should take into consideration the construction sequence of the tradetional yurt system in order to know how are we going to set the design and how we are going to get everything together on site. so we took the idea of the yurt as the starting point of our sequence. Both structures have the frame structure that supports the skin and they both sit on a simple platform.in terms of material used, both are using timber, insulation material, and the covering material. The construction sequence is simple in both structures that start with the guiding frames, subframes and then the skin.

CABLE SYSTEM The idea of cable system is using tension of cables to help the structure bear the load from all directions. Different cables help the structure to keep stable depend on different load types, which allow the some cable rest while others working. That could prevent the material be tired and enable the structure used longer. According to structural analysis, different part of timber have different bending directions. So we use different type of connections to help the timber reduce bending force. The main load for the timbers connected to the ground is compression and share. We have some design to help compression transform and prevent it move on the ground.

PROJECT BREIF From Gaudi’s physical chain models, Frei Otto’s tensile model studies to Phillips Blocks funicular structures design with RhinoVAULT, natural forces help mold balanced and optimized structures. With the aid of interactive physics simulations we can create digital materiality and real life behavior as a form finding protocol.
The aim of this assignment will be to create an live-interactive installation using forces as parameters using Kangaroo as main engine. The main goal will be to build a simple interface where the user can “play” with inputs such as attractors, sliders, functions and time to transform an object in space. The selected location for the installation will be the IaaC rooftop Computational Design
COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN
FORM FINDING PROCESS The project was to create a structure that can be placed on IAAC’s rooftop. this structure should be done by applying different forces from Kangaroo. And the structure should adabt to it’s surroundings and the nature of the space. The concept was to create a structure that adabt to the users that are going inside it by increasing the numbers of anchors that deform the shape of that structure.

MIES VAN DER ROHE INSTALLATION RECURSIVE GROWTH
ANIMATION VIDEO https://youtu.be/dGEarUN٤xAg
PROJECT BREIF The concept was to create a shading structure based on the growth system. As we all know, Barcelona German pavilion (Mies Van Der Rohe Pavilion) was known for it’s simple and minimal design. And one of the main concepts of the Barcelona Pavilion was the transperancy and the long plain glass panels that cover the pavilion. From that point, the instalation is covering the main entrance of the pavilion and the branching system helped in maintaining the idea of the transperancy by covering the top part of the pavilion as a shading system.

PROJECT BREIF Learning from his design for the unfinished Colònia Güell chapel (١٩١٤-١٨٩٨) Antoni Gaudí wanted the structure for the Sagrada Família Basilica (١٨٨٢ – 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. As a calculated optimised solution, every column is positioned slanted rather than vertical, which is atypical compared with what we are used to seeing in the majority of buildings. The Sagrada Família Basilica is therefore a visual representation of the accommodation of gravity loading at work. Columns on their own will not efficiently accommodate all the forces being grounded unless they subdivided through branching-up in order to meet the masses that they are required to support. The lyricism of Gaudí’s expression of worship beneath the canopy of a petrified forest is therefore matched by a lyrical structural solution. Bifurcation

PROCESS OF BIO-SINGULARITY
PROCESS OF BIO-SINGULARITY By using the irregular pattern of a tree truck slice for our first profile, we were able to extract the logics of the organic form to further accentuate them in our second profile. However more systematically, our second asymmetric profile follows a pattern rotation of ١٥ degrees, with more symmetrical curves similar to that of the first profile. Beginning with straight rails to guide our first profile, we developed custom rails to create a twisting motion, similar to natural tree growth. We used the custom rails for our second and third profiles. Following the theme of asymmetry, the third profile follows a rotation logic which matches the chosen L- branching system. Quadrants are dissected into ٢ ,١, and ٤ segments with sharper curves to appear less organic or ‘man-made.’ Applying the twisting motion of our custom rails, the third profile generated a sharp, glitch-like aesthetic, accentuating the man-made concept Bifurcation
