RESEARCH | hybrida

HYBRIDa realized that one of the most important lines of work at the office is research, innovation and development focusing in one particular idea in architecture: Should a building be a static, rigid and weatherproof object with several gadgets controlling light, sound and temperature? Or should it be an articulated system, capable of interacting, which continuously relates to its environment, and somehow receives information and reprocesses it to respond to this stimulus by self-regulating? An open, dynamic “live” system? With the topic of responsive and inteligent architecture, Sylvia and Jordi are directing and coordinating two seventh European Research program FP7. HYPERMEMBRANE Capacityes for sme's, and the HYPERMEMBRANE DEMOPROJECT under a budget of 2.2 milion Euro.
