LaN | Work/Shop is based in Barcelona, Spain, and will approach the investigation of the urban domain through the use of scripting and digital fabrication. The often disconnected resolutions of the urban scale and tectonic systems and are brought together for the purpose of fabricating site specific interventions in the various urban typologies of Barcelona. Participants will engage the city through two weeks of intense observation and documentation in concert with software and fabrication tutorials which will feed the final fabricated works.
Professional and student architects, urbanists, designers, artists (and related fields) are invited to Barcelona from 08 until 22 August 2008. The workshop will facilitate collaboration of individuals from a broad applicant base in order to generate new forms of interventions that will be directly deployed and documented within the urban domain of Barcelona. Space is limited, late applications will be considered only if space is available.
Project Brief
Participants will be introduced to the realm of digital fabrication through a series of projects that use the city of Barcelona as a living, breathing classroom. In the midst of learning digital tools necessary to complete the project (Rhino, fabrication equipment / theory), participants will be asked to study intricate spaces throughout the city.
Participants will take part in intensive rhino classes, scripting tutorials, mapping and theoretical discussion, digital fabrication technologies / case studies, and will ultimately fabricate a project using the laser cutting and cnc (routing) production techniques.
Equipment: Laser Cutter, CNC Milling Machine, 3D Printer
