The following selected projects are the result of the second Parametric Design seminar which took place at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalunya [IaaC] in the third term of the 2008-2009 class. The seminar, taught by LaN co-director Luis E. Fraguada, focused on developing prototypes which synthesized research studio and seminar work into one proposal. Facilitating all of this was the associative/generative modeller: Grasshopper. There was quite a variety of work produced and the manner which Grasshopper was used was equally as varied. Students used Grasshopper not just for developing an associative model, but also as a way to organize fabrication logics, outputting G-Code for experimental prototypes, and as an interactive tool to test material performance. Below you will find a selection of images taken from the final submissions. To see the full content of the final submission, go to each student’s blog. All prototypes were produced at Fab Lab BCN with the guidance of Tomas Diez, project manager of the Fab Lab BCN.
