Algomad 2013 – Focus on Sagrada Familia will take place from 3rd to 6th July in ELISAVA Barcelona School of Design and Engineering and will have as background the design, fabrication and construction work developed by using parametric and computational methods in Sagrada Familia.
Algomad 2013 will deal with geometric, structural and fabrication problems which are analyzed in a parametric and generative manner in Sagrada Familia. These problems will be taken as the basis to teach the digital design methods who are the actual core of the seminar.
The temple’s technical team has passionately engaged in the Algomad 2013’s organization and will serve as support and guide during the workshops. Sagrada Familia will be opened to the Algomad’s attendees in order to let them to see closely the design and construction work developed in the temple by means of guided visits. Furthermore, the workshops will take place at the amazing Elisava’s facilities in Las Ramblas.
Algomad attempts to be a deliberately instrumental seminar. So to say, Algomad doesn’t try to speculate with the tool’s usage, but tutor its performance and possible applications in the Architecture, Engineering and Desing fields. Itsprogram includes workshops and conferences.
