Digital Revolution and the Transformation of Architecture
Edouard Cabay is a registered architect at the Catalan College of Architects in Spain and is graduated from the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London.
After gaining professional experience in London, Tokyo and Brussels, he founded Appareil in Barcelona in 2011, an office developing architectural and research projects both in Spain and abroad.
In parallel to practice, he currently teaches at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia in Barcelona as Senor Faculty and director of the Open Thesis Fabrication Program.
How can an architect operate in a world that has become increasingly global?
​
Building techniques and design attitudes tend to become generic, if not the same all around, despite all contexts - social, climatic, technological, material - being different and unique.
​
Today’s world, transformed by the digital revolution, sees new tools of design and manufacturing to be challenging the heritage of our discipline by providing new opportunities or means to develop architecture.
​
Based in Barcelona, where APPAREIL operates within an architectural research context at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) and other universities, Edouard Cabay engages with multi-disciplinary groups of professionals from different nationalities and origins to develop projects in different places, reflecting on how architectural design can provide solutions for local and specific problems.
