IAAC Spring Lecture Series – Black Ecologies – 2020

IAAC Lecture Series 2019/20 – Black Ecologies Debate
14th May 2020, 19:00 (CET)
The launch of Iaac Bits #9: Black Ecologies, the Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia’s Journal co-edited by Actar Publishers, is the occasion to discuss the need to define a new natural environment co-produced by all ecological, biological, technological and cultural agents.

The debate on Black Ecologies book, will introduce the new practices of architecture and urban planning that create ecologies, which, as the title of the book says, are dark, or rather hybrid. These are ecologies that go beyond the traditional dichotomies between interior and exterior, or natural and artificial.

The participants will have the opportunity to interact with the contributors of the book and be introduced in  architectural projects that in a pioneer and experimental way merge humans with robots, biology with artificial intelligence, or nature with technology.

Unit 2.1, B.L.O.O.M. project / proposals for alternative lighting strategies

Team proposal for an alternative lighting strategy, implemented as a case-by-trial research endeavor. Thankfully, the Mercado la Boqueria had just received fresh shipments of fish, of which we more than eager to stock up on!

The thing about experiments is just that in the word itself—a case of trial and error! We tried. And pretty sure we were the only ones on Earth marinating dead squid in their balconies over the weekend. Anyway, cheers to the b.l.o.o.m. project team!
