This is a solar house design for the entry of the 2010 Solar Decathlon Europe submitted by The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC). The competition has the goal to disseminate the benefits of using renewable energies, especially solar energy at home among the general public.
The goal of this FabLab House is to allow any person to manufacture anywhere in the world, from the platform of Fab Labs, or fabrication laboratories. The production methodology of the house is founded in a structure fabricated from common materials sourced globally (plywood panels, etc.), and in the use of locally found machinery (laser cutting and/or milling machine). It is definitely a very affordable housing solution, designed with a combination of simple construction, geometric sophistica tion and technological wealth, both in its creation as an energy system as well as in the active and passive management of the house.
