The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia and HP are pleased to announce the 3rd Advanced Architecture Contest, on the theme of THE SELF-SUFFICIENT CITY: Envisioning the habitat of the future.
The aim of this architecture competition is to promote on-line discussion and research through which to generate insights and visions, ideas and proposals that help us envisage what the city and the habitat of the 21st century will be like.
The contest is open to architects, planners, designers and artists who want to contribute to progress in making the world more habitable by developing a proposal capable of responding to emerging challenges in areas such as ecology, information technology, socialization and globalization, with a view to enhancing the connected self-sufficiency of our cities.
The prize (Total value: 60.000, 00 EUR) will be distributed at the discretion of the Juries following the bases scheme.
This Architecture Competition Jury, which is composed of architects, directors of some of the world's foremost architecture schools, and mayors of prominent cities around the globe is looking for outstanding proposals for any city in the world, at any scale, and within any timescale.

Landform building conference

Green roofs, artificial mountains and geological forms; Buildings you walk on or over; networks of ramps and warped surfaces; Buildings that carve into the ground or Landscapes lifted high into the air: all these are commonplace in architecture today. New technologies, new design techniques and a demand for enhanced environmental performance have provoked a re-thinking of architecture’s traditional relationship to the ground. Some of today’ s most innovative buildings no longer occupy a given site but instead, construct the site itself. The conference landform building sets out to examine the many ways in which landscape effects are manifest in architecture today: Not as a cross- disciplinary phenomenon (architects working on the landscape) but as new design techniques, new formal strategies and technical problems with in architecture itself.

Iaac alumni got 1st Mention in the XI International Arquine Competition "F.A.R.O. de Satelite".

On the 50th anniversary of the monument "Torres de Satélite" designed by Luis Barragán and Mathias Goeritz, ARQUINE magazine organized an international architectural competition proposing to create a center of Arts & Crafts (FARO Fabrica de Artes y Oficios) in the base of the monument. The monument, being a symbol of Mexican modernism but also a landmark for the area Ciudad Satelite is a composition of five triangular volumes that range in height from 30 to 52 meters. The towers that were designed to be experienced from the car in movement, symbol of the machine age, they form a plaza in between the different flows of the motorway. The project proposed by Maria Papafigou, Johan Annerhed, Anna Laskari and Chrysokona Mavrou received the first Mention (primer mención).
FAB LAB HOUSE

Entendemos el prototipo como el resultado negociado de una suma consensuada de posicionamientos básicos. Más que un diseno cerrado, más que la descripción de un objeto, el prototipo definido aquí se presenta como la conjunción de una serie de estrategias propositivas, la materialización de una serie de afirmaciones que pretendemos defender.

El prototipo presentado aquí es el resultante de un proceso de evaluación abierta de distintos prototipos opción, sometido bajo criterios tanto de figuración arquitectónica, como de lógicas constructivas y eficiencias energéticas, en el que han participado activamente todos los agentes que formarán parte de su desarrollo posterior.
