With the improvement of technology, people have been able to change their lifestyles. Many years ago, construction tools and ways to generate energy were limited, whereas in the present, we have solar panels, softwares, and laser cutters to create almost whatever we want. Organic and futuristic shapes are not so far away.We have already begun the future societies. FabLabBCN proved that it is possible to develop anything we think and dream of.

Last Thrusday 21st, Neil Gershenfeld (Director of the Center for Bits and Atoms), Javier Nieto (Iaac President), Vicente Guallart (Iaac Director), and Jorge Gonzalez (Project Director of Schneider Electric) attended to the 'Launching Fabrication' Ceremony that took place in the Institute for advanced architecture of Catalonia (Iaac). After building the prototype, the Solar House parts will be taken to Madrid, Spain in June for the Solar Decathlon where colleges and university teams design, build, and make work energy-efficient solar powered houses.

Who knows? Maybe someday everybody will be able to build their own houses, shelters, or tents where solar energy is a crutial source for living.
