Lifelong Learning Master's Degree in AI for Architecture and the Built Environment II
Presentation
The Master in AI for Architecture & the Built Environment (1 or 2-year program) is a unique program oriented towards leading the change in decarbonising human activities and crafting a more sustainable, resilient future urbanization for our planet. Through an innovative curriculum deeply rooted in AI applications, the program will pioneer novel AI-driven solutions that not only respond to the pressing challenges of our time but also set a new standard for environmentally and socially conscious co-design and planning. Taking place in Barcelona, the Master in AI for Architecture & the Built Environment is training the professionals that city administrations, governments, industries, and communities need, to transform the built environment in the era of digital technologies.Developed by IAAC and supported by EADA business school in Barcelona, the master programme offers a unique academic curriculum that seamlessly integrates Architecture, Artificial Intelligence and Business Development, setting it apart as a one-of-a-kind offering on a global scale.
In the second year of the master's program, students will engage in a rigorous development of their thesis, blending technical proficiency in AI programming with critical thinking to refine their projects. They will delve deeper into the market aspects, focusing on the feasibility and potential industry connections, while targeting specific markets to prepare their innovative, AI-driven design solutions for commercialization. The culmination of this year is the creation of a well-researched thesis and a market-ready minimum viable product (MVP), designed to meet the identified needs of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Through this process, students will not only complete an academic thesis but also develop a tangible, marketable product, demonstrating a synthesis of their technical skills, industry knowledge, and market strategy.
The Master in AI for Architecture and the Built Environment is a programme for architects, urbanists, designers, computer scientists, engineers, data scientists, entrepreneurs and economists that want to become pioneers on AI-driven solutions for environmentally and socially conscious architecture and the built environment.
