Lifelong Learning Master's Degree in Advanced Architecture II
Presentation
IAAC’s Master in Advanced Architecture (1 or 2-year program) revolutionizes current architectural approaches. By training professionals to take informed, creative and innovative actions, the program encourages them to become changemakers and pioneers in the arena of architecture and the built environment. Based on a Learning by Doing and a Design by Research methodologies the Master in Advanced Architecture nurtures critical thinking, ingenuity and the materialization of ideas.The programme offers a diversity of high-end content in Design Studios ranging from urban scale to building, material and wearable devices scale.
The seminars and workshops offered by the programme aim to enhance the technical, computational and digital fabrication skills of new professionals that are able to work in the architectural field learning from advancements from computer science, advanced manufacturing, synthetic biology, or material science and ecology.
The second year of the MAA is centered around the development of an Individual Thesis Project, which will be supervised by a Thesis Advisor. In order to support the thesis project development and strengthen the professional and academic profile, students have the opportunity to follow several seminars and workshops. These courses will explore new topics or will broaden student’s knowledge in the fields of Theory and Methods, Advanced Computational and Fabrication tools, Interaction and Prototyping.
In parallel to the development of the Individual Thesis Project, the second year of the MAA02 offers a series of seminars enhancing the theoretical, practical and computational skills of the students.
The Master in Advanced Architecture is for architects, engineers and designers from all over the world curious about how the world is changing and committed to driving this change. The programme is oriented at graduates who wish to commit and develop their design research skills in the context of new forms of practice within architecture and urbanism, ranging from large-scale environments to tectonic details and material properties.
