Hyperhabitat is a research project initiated at IaaC in 2005, directed by Vicente Guallart, with input from Daniel Ibáñez and Rodrigo Rubio.

Its purpose is to develop a new approach to the organization of the habitability of the world on the basis of information technology.

The first objective has been to establish whether the physical world can have a structure similar to the digital world. In effect, if a network is made up of nodes, connections, an environment and protocols that relate its content, in the case of the physical world, the world can be understood as a superposing of natural environments, the networks that crisscross it and functional nodes.

The years 2006 and 2007 have been spent working on nodes and networks, and the work on environments and protocols will begin in the near future
