What is the "IAMCC"?

IAMCC is the new architectural design and research program in the field of Architecture, Multimedia, Computer and Communication,  established in November 2000 by:   

architect  Mohammad-Reza Helforoush

Info about IAMCC

Because Of globalisation of Communication and the effects of modern techniques in Societies, it is expected that today’s architecture will have to account for new functions. The reactions of contemporary and even future architecture is a criterion for changes of every region. This transformation is the result obtain through cultural and social changes from one side, and  on  the other side takes shape by the effects of the new techniques. Naturally,  this point that how much each society has prepared itself should be examined. For  this  reason,  it  should be  analysed  that the architectural transformation  in each  region  have  followed  which  elements  and  where  their  borders are. Since  the  examination  of  regional  and  tribal  architecture, along  with  global architecture  is complicated, analysing  the architecture  theories  and  exchange of information should  be  done  from  some  special  points  of  view.  At  the  same  time,  the  out  comes  should  be  firm  as  a base  for  planning  the  contemporary  and  future architecture.

For this purpose,  IAMCC  program   with  the  knowledge  of  new  techniques and elements like multimedia, computer and international  communications and technology transfer, try to step in these ways to  define  the  relation  of  the  elements  from  one  side  and to offer the suitable solution for future architecture  on  the  other  side.

The  IAMCC Homepage in  its  virtual  part  will  make  possible  the  global  communication  of  all  interested  in  this  case  specially   architects,  artists  and  researchers  of  social  scientists. In  this  network, the  communication  and  mentioned  theories  will be  shown to other  authorities  in  written  form,  picture,  film  or  link.  This  network  at  the  same  time tries to remember and consider human and his material, spiritual and cultural needs and also relationship between human and environment.

Goals of the IAMCC program:

IAMCC's Program range from Digital experimentation and virtual spaces to building and urban design to computer generated environments and architectures to multimedia and communication.
The work of the IAMCC presents in additional way cultural practices and technological influence on real and virtual architecture space and design. For IAMCC the traditional problematic in Architecture, particularly form and order are inflected and transformed by the new spatial possibilities and strategies open to us through technological intervention, particularly digital Architectures and our new spatial relationship to information. To bring this debate to the Space & surface, IAMCC offers in the program a few ranges of subprograms.

Subprogram "Digital Dialog 2001”

Spring, Summer 2001

Design, program and execute by:

Dr. Parwiz waziri                                             SB University

DI. Mohammad-Reza Helforoush                 TU Vienna

Between Architecture Students at Vienna University of Technology and Shahid-Beheshti University in Tehran

The "Digital Dialog“ subprogram is an “International Design Workshop” and had a duration of five mounts from March2001 to July 2001. It has the following concept.

With the development of the Internet, the vision of the “ real-time and exchange in Internet” has become reality. Areas over huge distances can be communicated with one click of a mouse. We use then this global networking to exchange our know-how.

Here is a workplace for architects and students, emphasizing the encounter and exchange between different disciplines.

In our Design Workshop we research for Applying new technology and developing the Architecture projects in different cultures, different places and different climate and their relations.

Main areas of the Workshop in Internet for this year are culture and new technology.

 

Subprogram "Exhibition 2001"

September 11-13 2001 in Tehran

Design, program ,execute by Architect M-Reza Helforoush

Computer & Multimedia by Mohammad Fazeli

System Administration by IAMCC

Coordination in Tehran by Austrian Embassy Cultural Institute

The main Sponsors: Austrian Embassy Cultural Institute, Bundeskanzleramt Austria

The 2001 cultures Exhibition is in the field of the four most important developments, particularly in the last ten years. Architecture, Multimedia, Computer and Communication

The current exhibition in its real part in Tehran  follows  3               aims: 

1-     To show the influence from  multimedia  and  computer  of architecture.

( showing  part )

2- The aim from comparison of the two academic groups, for which two groups  have been samples  of the two different cultures. Here, the best  projects, which  have  be  done  in  Tehran  and  Vienna, will  be  chosen  and  shown  in  exhibition  as  changeable  elements  and  at  the  same  time  will  be  talked  about  it  in  the  network. (  dialog )

3 -  The  exhibition  tries  to  make  the  participants  feel that they have a share in the formation of  future spaces in a way as they will be allowed to 
change  the  projects  according

The  Exhibition in  its  virtual  part  will  make  possible  the  global  communication  of  all  interested  in  this  case  specially   architects,  artists  and  researchers  of  social  scientists. In  this  network, the  communication  and  mentioned  theories  will be  shown to other  authorities  in  written  from,  picture,  film  or  link.  This  network  at  the  same  time tries to remember and consider human and his material, spiritual and cultural needs and also relationship between human and environment.

Subprogram ”Building of tomorrow”   (in planning)

Architecture in future

The "Building of Tomorrow" makes use of the two most important developments in solar and energy efficient building: the passive house and the low energy solar building method. For the purposes of the "Building of Tomorrow" subprogram, these energy centred innovations are expanded to take in ecological, economical and social concerns.

The "Buildings of Tomorrow" are residential and office buildings from by fulfilling the following criteria:

higher energy efficiency throughout the whole life-cycle of the building

greater use of renewable energy sources, especially solar energy

greater use of sustainable raw materials, and efficient use of materials

increased consideration of user needs and services

However, the costs are comparable with conventional building methods.

The program

The subprogram's goal is the development and market diffusion of components, prefabricated building parts and building methods which correspond to the above criteria and to the main principles of sustainable development.

Combining all of these demands is very challenging. Conflicts of aims can arise which need somehow to be reconciled. On the other hand, when social, economic and ecological aims can be integrated, the chances of success for the concept are vast. The key to realising this goal lies in innovation - not only technological but social, technological and institutional innovation.

It is precisely in the combination of all these criteria that the chance arises to make technological leaps which actually have a high market potential.

After careful consideration of over-development of the countryside, land use and mobility demands, priority has been given to multiple dwellings, rather than single family homes.

The "Building of Tomorrow" subprogram has a planned duration of five years. It comprises the following elements, which build on each other logically.

-Generation, preparation and dissemination of know-how in order to support the

technology development process in a way that focuses on the project's aims

-Concept-led technology and component development

-Development of innovative building concepts for residential and office buildings

-Setting up and evaluating demonstration projects

-Market diffusion of the "Buildings of tomorrow"

The current call for tenders concentrates on the first three elements of the

subprogram, and considers especially the projects that have already been

financed or supported by the programme.

In subsequent calls for tenders, demonstration buildings will be set up and evaluated, although concept-led technology and component development will continue. In order to focus future calls effectively, the "Building of Tomorrow" subprogram will draw strongly on the results of the call topic "innovative building concepts".

The close of the programme will involve activities to disseminate the results and to support the market diffusion of the "Building of Tomorrow".
