Lifelong Learning Master's Degree in Advanced Computation for Architecture & Design II

Presentation

The Master in Advanced Computation for Architecture & Design (MaCAD) is a unique online programme training a new generation of architects, engineers and designers with the skills that the industry of Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) demands nowadays.
The programme provides expertise in the application of the latest digital softwares for design simulation, analysis and optimization of digital data in architecture, offering a broad and advanced theoretical and practical knowledge of computational design.
Based on a Data Driven, Learning by doing and Design by Research methodology, the master offers a unique online educational experience.
In contrast to the traditional Online programs, the Master in Advanced Computation for Architecture & Design offers a real-class virtual environment, based on a continuous, interactive and collaborative learning process.
The MaCAD is not a solitary experience, as the program gives the possibility to be part of a selected group of international students, seamlessly connected thanks to the most advanced platform for video-conferencing and collaborative working.
During MACAD02, students work for an additional 3 months on an individual thesis, focused on the development of one applied research or pilot project, taking the knowledge that they have received into a practical ground. The aim is to bridge the gap between education, research & practice, with the guidance of leaders from top experts in the field and the support of industrial partners. In parallel to the development of the Thesis Cluster, the second year of MaCAD offers a series of seminars enhancing the theoretical, practical and computational skills of the students.
The programme is oriented for Architects, Designers, Engineers who want to become experts in Advanced Computation and lead the change in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry.
Do you want to learn new tools and methodologies working with the leading experts and faculty, in an innovative educational structure that puts the students’ needs and creativity at the center? Do you want to continue your education online and take part in a complete master programme, based on collaborative work and interactive learning?
Then the MaCAD programme is made for you!
