Solar Energy Design The Fab Lab House

The Fab Lab house by the Institute for Advanced Architecture
of Catalonia (IAAC) was designed as an entry into the 2010
Solar Decathlon Europe competition. This house, as well as all
houses designed in the competition, aim to disseminate among
the general public the benefits of using renewable energies,
especially solar energy.











The Solar FabLab house rounded shape
is positioned for suitable solar tracking and for maximum internal
volume with minimal exterior surface. In order to create a space
under the house for the development of certain outdoor activities,
this solar energy showcase house is elevated off the ground upon
three ‘legs’.









The IAAC stated that the Solar House is a new generation
Fab Lab home whose goal is to not industrialize but allow any person
to manufacture anywhere in the world, from the platform of Fab Labs,
or fabrication laboratories.
