FOAM[ATTIC]- Dynamic Insulation System (Group Work) Institue for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia. L ocation: Barcelona, Spain. Foam[Attic] Architecture is no more just a word describing art or aesthetics in today’s world. Today, the world is facing economical and environmental crisis. A vision where we can help the environment and create an efficient, sustainable, adaptable system. To fix all the issues of trying to live in comfort zone in this XXI century Foam has proved to be one of the better solution to reduce the energy consumption. A question aroused… What if this material can do more than what it is designed to be? Should Hacking of the Material be done? Making it a Material that plays active role in Saving Energy Consumption. A system which can save Energy by a huge margin with just small modification in the specification and an efficient mechanism combined together to get something more than just a passive insulation.  A simple change in geometry and poro

EXHIBITION: TRACES – DELINEATING INCIDENTS  L ocation: Barcelona, Spain. How can energy be drawn? The exhibition Traces – Delineating Incidents unveils a series of drawings that translate natural forces into graphical manifestations. Set up as an investigation on energy, each plate was produced without the direct intervention of the hand; they are produced by a constructed mechanism that enables the pen to move, mechanically dictated by the force. The exhibition is divided into two areas; an exhibition space, where are presented ten drawings which are the result of different forces (wind, waves, animals, magnets, metro etc.) and a production space where a drawing machine connected to a sensor will operate, taking as a source of energy the movement of people walking in the street. Five sets of drawings generated by five different forces. Five sets of drawing generated by five different forces. Resulting from the constant repetition of a calligraphic action, the exhi
