THE INSTITUTE
THEINSTITUTE-
The Institute for Advanced Architecture ofCatalonia (IAAC) is an international centreor research, education,investigation and
development oriented toward architectu-e as a discipline that addresses diff erent
scales of territorial analysis and urban de-velopment as well as diverse architectural
projects, digital processes and informationenvironments.
Located in Barcelona, one of the internatio-nal capitals of Urbanism, the institute de-velops multidisciplinary programmes thatexplore international urban and territorialphenomena, with a special emphasis onhe opportunities that arise from the emer-
gent territories and on the cultural, econo-mic and social values that architecture cancontribute to society.
AAC sets out to take R+D to architectureand urbanism and to create multidiscipli-nary knowledge networks, and to this endhe institute works in collaboration with
a number of cities and regions, industrialgroups and research centres, includinghe Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT), the University of Brighton and the
University of Chicago, developing variousesearch programmes which bring to-gether experts in diff erent disciplines suchas engineering, sociology, anthropology,architecture and other fi elds of investiga-ion.
AAC has made a name as a centre of in-ernational reference which welcomes stu-
dents and investigators from diverse coun-ries, among which are India, Australia, the
USA, Poland, Argentina , Ethiopia, Iraq andothers.

THE BUILDING
THEBUILDING-
AAC’s Master programs take place in thePoblenou neighbourhood of Barcelona,n the recently created district known as
22@, a focus for companies and institu-ions oriented toward the knowledge so-
ciety. The neighbourhood is close to thehistoric centre, the seafront, the Plaça dees Glòries and the Sagrera APT station,making it the most dynamic enclave in thecity.The IAAC is housed in an old factory buil-ding, with 2,000 m2 of space for research,production and dissemination of architec-ure, so that the space itself is a declaration
of principles, embodying an experimental
and productive approach to architecture.The IAAC premises include a Fab Lab, anarchitecture- and design-oriented fabrica-
tion laboratory which is part of the globalnetwork of Fab Labs set up by The Centerfor Bits and Atoms at MIT.The IAAC is engaged in a variety of re-search projects as well as workshops andcourses, and special summer workshops,open to Spanish and international firmsand institutions.

MAA 2013/14 MULTISCALAR STRATEGY
The Self-sufficiency Agenda establisheshe responsibility for confronting the pro-
cess of global urbanization from multi-sca-ar operations and through prototypes that
promote environmental, economic and so-cial sustainability.
n the early 20th century, the concept ofdwelling’ was defined as a ‘machine forving’, a reference to a new way of unders-anding the construction of inhabitable
spaces that characterized the MachineAge. Today, a century later, we face thechallenge of constructing sustainable oreven self-sufficient prototypes; living or-ganisms that interact and interchange re-sources with their environment, and whichunction as entirely self-suffi cient entities,ke trees in a field. In this way, each action
on the territory implies a manipulation ofmultiple environmental forces, connectedo numerous flows and networks such as
energy, transport, logistics and informa-ion, generating new inhabitable and res-
ponsive nodes with the potential to use
and produce resources. Territorial andurban strategies and building operationsmust therefore be coordinated processeshat extend architectural knowledge to
new forms of management and planning,n which a multiscalar thinking also entails
an understanding of shifting dynamics,energy and information transmission andcontinuous adaptation.
Architecture is always facing the respon-sibility of responding to emergent needs,echnologies and ever-changing program-
mes.
We must ask more of architecture: we asarchitects should be required to designinhabitable organisms that are capable ofdeveloping functions and integrating the
processes of the natural world that for-merly took place at a distance, at other-points in the surrounding territory. Themodels created for the metropolis of thelast century are unable to accommodatenew developments linked to contemporaryurban lifestyles, which are more and morediscontinuous in space and time. The buil-ding- over of the global landscape requiresus to project at the same time the full andthe empty, the natural and the artificial, insuch a way as to make economic impe-tus compatible with sustainable develop-ment. It is necessary to generate complexknowledge with a multi-layered readingof realities that have traditionally beenthought of as separate, such as energy ma-nipulation, nature, urban mobility, dwelling,systems of production and fabrication, thedevelopment of software and informationnetworks, etc. This will open up the possi-
bility of generating new prototypes, capa-ble of engaging with complex and changingenvironments. Finally, every new urban orarchitectural production needs to updateits materiality and reinterpret centuries oldconstruction techniques, which are very di-rectly based on the transformation of loca-lly available materials.
It is now time for interaction between dis-ciplines and technologies with a vision thatembraces different fields of research.

MAA 2013/14 EMERGENT TERRITORIES
The IAAC works beyond the conventio-nal scales of territorial design, town plan-ning, building or fabrication in designinga multiscale habitat. As in the design of
ecosystems, each level has its own rules ofnteraction and relation, and at the sameime must comply with certain parametershat pertain to the system as a whole. The
Emergent Territories group works on pro-ects that range in scale from the territoryo the neighbourhood.
The idea of Emergent Territories is rela-ed to two issues: On the one hand, theaaC is interested in understanding those
countries and cities around the world with
emerging economies and cultures that, byvirtue of their regional or economic posi-ion, can contribute value to the planet as
a whole. In recent years we have studiedBrazil, Croatia, Taiwan, Romania, Colom-bia and Tunisia, or in the near future will bestudying India and the countries of NorthAfrica, the Persian Gulf and Sub-SaharanAfrica. The work done in these countriesseeks to identify the particular urban anderritorial values of these places in ordero construct more intelligent territories
anywhere in the world, moving on from theWestern idea that there is a single model of
city (be it European or American) to workon the basis of more complex and moreopen values.The other issue related to emergent terri-
tories has to do with the creation of inte-lligent territories that function in a mul-tiscalar way, in order that the relationshipbetween natures, networks and nodes canfoment the ‘emergence’ of an urban intelli-gence.To this end we are interested in pursuingwhat we call ‘Hyperhabitat’ research asaprocess of developing a general theory ofthe multiscalar habitat that can be appliedanywhere in the
world and at any scale, as a basis for theconstruction of complete complex ecosys-tems.
This group also focuses on Barcelona asa site for ongoing urban experimentation,with a view to contributing to the discus-sions and refl ections in relation to the ur-ban progress of the city.

MAA 2013/14 SELF SUFFICIENT BUILDINGS
Architecture goes beyond buildings. Abuilding is a concentration of activities ina particular location which should be res-ponsive to concrete cultural, social, eco-
nomic and technological conditions. In the
21st century, the buildings are more thanmachines for dwelling in. They should be li-ving organisms, capable of interacting withheir environment, following the principles
of ecology or biology rather than thoseof mere construction. In effect, a building
should be like a tree, which is able to roo-ing itself in a particular place, generatingts own energy, interacting with the natural
networks around it and creating complexecosystems and landscapes together withother trees.
The Self-Sufficient Buildings group workson scales that range from the macro-buil-ding to the individual home developingprinciples and techniques that serve toorganize the materialization of program-matic nodes of activity based on natural ru-es and principles. As a result, the building
goes beyond being a mere interface forthe economic activities it houses to beingan environment that stimulates its inhabi-tants and functions as an active part of the
ecosystem in which it is inserted. Buildings
also need to respond to specific culturalconditions, and the multicultural globalvision that the IaaC represents allows canbe applied, via debate and research, to ar-chitecture projects anywhere in the world.This group devotes special attention to
housing and the new forms of social or-ganization of our time, by way of buildingswith shared spaces, or macrobuildings thatincorporate all the functions of a city. Thisgroup is working to introduce innovative te-chniques such as local energy generation,the development of self-suffi cient buil-dings, the incorporation of hydrogen intothe building and the use of new materials,responding to each situation with ad-hoctechniques and principles.

MAA 2013/14 DIGITAL TECTONICS
As human impact on the world’s biosphereeaches critical levels, we should recognize
and accept the fact that “nature no longerexists”; at least not as that untamed pla-
ne of reference where forces re-circulaten a balanced and harmonious way; in the
words of Slavoj Zizek, nature is crazy, ca-astrophic and brutal. Such acceptance will
help us avoiding the contemporary culturalpitfall promoted by what we should definethe green ideology”. At the same time it
will liberate a much more radical attitudeowards the development of new protocols
of transformation, new design practices ofmaterial and energetic organisation ableo surpass the mechanical paradigm of in-
dustrialized mass production.
The course will embrace this radical attitu-de by adopting an experimental approacho the development of new eco-systemicabrication protocols and related architec-ural prototypes, where the picturesque
aspects of nature are substituted with itscybernetic cycles, the mechanical functio-
nality of the prototype with its machinic be-haviour and the compositional order of itsarchitecture with the algorithmic protocolegulating its development.
Our ambition will be to set up new fabri-cation protocols able to integrate within acoherent design medium the mechanicalproperties of digital fabrication machineswith the eco-systemic aspects of specificdesign environments; in other words wewill embed digital fabrication in specificarchitectural “milieu” and develop new ma-chinic architectures or co-evolving archi-ectural systems .
Such ambition has several expected outco-mes:-the parallel advancement of both the te-chnical and the cultural paradigms of digi-
tal fabrication in architecture.-the invention of new digital fabricationtechniques involving an innovative use ofexisting and new fabrication machines.-the development of new material systemstuned to potential applications within a setarchitectural “milieu”
The research line defines and investigateseco-systemic architectural fabrication byexploring the relationship between matter,information and energy in the synthesis ofa new notion of materiality, and in the pro-duction of new protocols of material orga-nisation. The method of investigation willfollow a rigorously experimental approachand will progress in complexity from smallscale material sampling to the productionof 1:1 scale architectural components orprototypes.
The research topic will be “fibrous structu-res”; the ambition will be to cover as muchground as possible in developing a catalo-gue of fibrous material systems engagingwith a palette of fibrous materials [natural,synthetic, polymeric, etc.], structuring lo-gics [bundling, weaving, knitting, etc], ar-chitectural conditions [structural columns,facade tile, etc], fabrication protocols [ex-truding, percolating, dipping, pouring, etc].

The Master in Advanced Architecture is annnovative educational format that offersnterdisciplinary skills and understandinghrough the researching of territorial, ar-
chitectural and parametric design opera-ions for the production of Self-sufficient
Habitats.
Proposing a dynamic, customized structu-e, the Institute gives students the opportu-
nity to create single or multi-scalar Studioagendas based on their academic interestswithin the programme. In this way, theAAC puts together an experimental andearning environment for the training of
architects with both theoretical and prac-ical responses to the increasing comple-
xity of contemporary urban environments,economic forces, information flows, fast-growing cities and massive energy con-sumption and waste production.
With 7 day access to the IAAC Studio wor-king space and its prototypes fabricationab, students have the opportunity to be
part of a highly international group, inclu-ding faculty members, researchers andecturers, in which they are encouraged todevelop collective decision-making proces-ses and materialize their project ideas. Theaim of the Institute is to form graduateswho, after the completion of the program-me, will be able to develop their acquiredskills in a diversity of professional envi-onments, engaging in projects that rangerom large scale sustainable planning and
building construction to the industrializedabrication of architectural components.

By means of an intensi-ve model-making and prototyping agen-da this course will explore morphological,growth and evaluative processes observednature.Setting up rules for material organizationand performance, these organisms willbe re-interpreted in their generative natu-e and extrapolated into artificial physical
orms.
NTRODUCTORY COURSE 1
DIGITAL FABRICATION(3 ECTS Credits)
The Digital Fabrication introductory courses intended to initiate students in the use
of advanced digital design methods andabrication processes in an integrated way,o make physical things from virtual data.t will focus on the design, development of
construction of full scale prototypes in a
variety of materials, focusing on the transi-ion between computer modeling and ma-erialization.
Students will be introduced to the differentdigital fabrication processes available inhe market with a series of
comprehensive lectures, including discus-sions on specifi c case-studies. In the class,hey will be guided through the use of Ra-
pid Prototyping and CAD-CAM fabricationdevices, by following design assignmentsspecifically conceived to develop theirskills.
The course will give them the opportunityto test some of these processes, using themachines available at IAAC (CNC lasercut,CNC milling and 3D Printing). Besides thedevelopment of technical skills, the ultima-
te goal ofthe course is to inquiry how these new fabrication methods are changing the languageof design, while challenging the traditionalarchitectural process from conception toconstruction.
INTRODUCTORY COURSE 2
THEORY CONCEPTS (3 ECTS Credits)
This seminar course brings together a se-ries of seminal essays on architecture bykey thinkers of the twentieth century. Inso doing it attempts to show that there isa consistent body of critical thought onarchitecture that exists outside of mains-tream architectural discourse, which offersan effective means of critiquing that dis-course. The seminar course covers thekey intellectual traditions of thinking in the
twentieth century: Modernism, Phenome-nology, Structuralism, Poststructuralismand Postmodernism.
INTRODUCTORY COURSE 3
DIGITAL TOOLS (3 ECTS Credits)In this introductory course we will sur-vey contemporary design tools in orderto enable 3D and 2D strategies for designand representation. The tools utilized inthis course will facilitate several issues in-cluding introducing common platforms forcollaboration as well as exposing the stu-dent to potentially new workflows and de-sign environments.The primary focus of the class will involvelearning 3D modelling with McNeel’s Rhi-noceros v4. The adoption of Rhino as themain 3D tool deals with its ability to interfa-ce with many different file formats. In manyways Rhino will act as the bridge betweenmany applications, 3D and 2D alike. Rhinoalso has a rich list of plug-ins and othermethods by which to extend its capabili-ties. Finally, Rhino has a vast communityof users, thus allowing for various ways toseek help, find example files, and share thework completed in the class.There are a multitude of other tools that
will be utilized throughout the course inorder to complement the main 3D and 2Dsoftware packages. These tools includeplug-ins for the main tools and small appli-cations.Throughout the entire course it is expectedthat students use the IAAC Blogging sys-tem to discuss their work progress. Blog-ging will also be introduced early on in thecourse.
INTRODUCTORY COURSE 4
PRACTISE REPRESENTATION (3 ECTS
Credits)Context interventions take place on ins-cription documents where the architectu-re designs are negotiated. The change ofparadigm from the “modern agreement”(based in anthropocentric principles) toan amplified and networked present timeimplies a necessary revision of the sys-tems of inscription and the techniques of(re)presentation as the necessary tools to(re) construct the context. Our installation,as cartographers, determines our possibi-lities of managing the context informationand of gaining access to its topologicalconfiguration. The construction of everycultural context gets registered and ma-terialized in the maps. It emerges throughefficient rhetorical strategies over thesesurfaces of inscription. These strategiesbecome the conditions of possibility of:the organization of the context informa-tion, the mobilization of circular references,the contemporary archive systems,
the data gathering,the critic of the common categories,the pragmatic structures,the links between the actors involved,the socialization of the entities,the increase of being.The maps do not re-present the context.They are neither literal nor mechanicaladjustments to an external world. Theyactivate links, actions and neighbourhoodagreements that advance unprecedentedstrategies that transform the space.Through the maps we shall (re)producethe context. But also, through the maps,the context will (re)produce us.

FAB LAB BARCELONA
FAB LABBARCELONA-WHAT IS A FAB LAB
-Digital Fabrication Laboratories, Fab Labs,are a platform for cooperation betweenpeople and organizations from differentcountries around the world. Fab labs are
conceived and designed to encourage thedea that anyone can fabricate/make any-hing anywhere in the world by sahringechnological and social knowledge and by
using machines of digital manufacturing.The project emerged from a programaunched by The Center for Bits and At-
oms (CBA) of MIT and is led by physicistNeil Gershenfeld (director of CBI). Theproject of Fab Labs has extended fromaboratories in downtown Boston to ru-al India, South Africa, Norway, Spain, Af-
ghanistan, Kenya and more. All Fab Labswork in coordination through the Internetand a video conference network, and theymeet annually in a global event.The Fab Lab programme explores how thecontent of information relates to physicalepresentation. The Fab Labs are laborato-ies of personal digital fabrication in which its possible to make almost anything, from a
computer measuring 1 cm by 1 cm to an in-elligent house. These labs are distributedn various parts of the world and connectedo each other by way of the Internet and
video conferencing, which allows the shar-ng of experiences and with it the creation
of a network of distributed knowledge.The Fab Labs use advanced techniquesand technologies which are being madeaccessible to everyone. They are equippedwith state-of-the-art equipment such asaser cutters, 3-dimensional printers and
milling machines and electronic compo-nents for creating artificial intelligence.

IAACSPECIAL PROJECTS-
AAC develops different research and spe-cial projects along the Academic Year. Stu-dents will be asked to participate in some ofhose initiatives in parallel to their studies.
The Fab Lab House is a new generation FabLab home whose goal is to not industrializebut allow any person to manufacture an-ywhere in the world, from the platform ofFab Labs, or fabrication laboratories.The production methodology of the hou-se is founded in a structure fabricatedrom common materials sourced globallyplywood panels, etc.), and in the use of lo-
cally found machinery (laser cutting and/or milling machine). It is definitely a veryaffordable housing solution, designed witha combination of simple construction, geo-metric sophistication and technologicalwealth, both in its creation as an energysystem as well as in the active and passivemanagement of the house. It was producedn 2010 for the Solar Decathlon Europe.
IAAC is also developing the project ENER-GRID with the Spanish power companyENDESA in order to develop “the Internetof Energy”. Prototypes of this system will
be developed in IAAC during the followingmonths and finally they will be brought inCan Valldaura House.
In November 2011 IAAC has produced itssecond Solar House in collaboration withENDESA and within the Smart City ExpoCongress 2011.
The last 2 years IAAC is also working inthe project City Protocol, a project aboutdefining the criteria to evaluate the perfor-mance of the cities with the goal for moresustainable cities.
Other projects developed by IAAC are exhi-bitions, such as the Fabrication Laboratoryexhibition at the Disseny Hub Barcelona.

Q VALLDAURA GREEN FAB
Q Valldaura is a research center for self-sufficient habitats, located on an historic30 hectare farm in the Collserola Natural
Park, twenty minutes from downtown Bar-
celona. It is powered by the IAAC with thesupport of the “Avanza Plan”, the MIT YCand several organizations and companies.Q Valldaura has an interesting history: it ishe place which in the XII century hostedhe first Cister Monastery of Catalonia.
Later, it became a royal hunting palace, be-coming an independent municipality thatncludes Mataró, and finally it ended up
being a farm.Our project promotes a process of natureconservation and rehabilitation of archi-ectural and landscape heritage. To deve-op the conservation estate, a special plano improve the property was presented,ncluding forestry, agriculture, livestock,heritage and environmental and functionalaspects. The “Masía Can Valldarura” wasbuilt in 1888 with an agricultural structure,a system of irrigation and forest manage-ment, that will be restored.
The project will take place in several pha-ses and will be developed in three areas: aresearch center located n ear the farmhou-se, a restaurant and event center located
near Cerdanyola Road, where the Can Vall-daura Restaurant stands now, and an his-torical center that will develop a programof archaeological research.
The Self-Sufficient Habitat Center establis-hes the relationship of Man, Environmentand Planet defined as “self-connectedman.”We promote education and research pro-grams for people of all ages, in a multidis-ciplinary environment that seeks to beco-me an international benchmark. Withinthe Valldaura environment, research andaction will be undertaken on food, energyand objects, the three basics needs thathumans require to be self sufficient.Activities will also take place related torecovering ancestral knowledge on mana-gement of resources we have in our envi-ronment, as well as sharing knowledge glo-
bally through information networks.
